I looked for the report or flag buttons on a hub for so long it's embarrassing. I'm sure I must have looked right at them but I figure rather than waste more time hunting for them, I'd just ask people who know.
A bunch of lenses that were full of plagiarism that I unsuccessfully reported back when they were lenses just made the transfer. Maybe this sounds obsessive but seeing them earning tier payments on Squidoo while stealing views from the honest writers of the articles really, really irritated me and I hate plagiarism a lot more than I hate littering.
Now that we are somewhere that removes plagiarized material even if it's not the copyright holder reporting it, I'd like to report the stuff. How does one report plagiarism on HubPages?
My apologies if this is a stupid question.
Thank you!
At the top right hand corner of hub, there is a small flag with Report next to it. Click on report.
You can also go to their profile page, click Report which is at top right and give reason with link to spam, to plagerized hubs, etc.
There is also a report button in the top right corner of each hub, just above the hubber's profile picture.

I earlier named a plagiarist on Twitter, and instead of him getting kicked off, I got kicked off! How about that? So, Twitter can twit off from now on! I am going to bed, 3 in the morning! But what do you think? should I have been told off? or should he?

yeah, somebody plagiarized my hub on another site, made it seem like it was theirs, no link no name etc, I had a bit of a go, so to speak, then when I realised they had taken it off, I went back to the site, and saw that they were all apologetic, and I ended up apologising to them for being a bit...

I have caught yet another plagiarist website that is copying our hubs, and other websites so they can sell Christmas themed merchandise. I filed a DMCA request with Google, but I am noticing websites doing this out of China seem not to be taken to task, when sites from virtually any other...
