What is stalling?

On the report tab you can report someone for stalling. Is that serious and does anyone treat it seriously? What counts as stalling? I've had people run down 5 minutes of Rapid when I had checkmate in 1 just to be annoying or the other way round when they have checkmate in 1 and just wait until the last second to make their move.
