What kinds of memes don't get featured, inquiring minds want to learn

For the sake of satisfying curiosity, I've scrolled through my submitted images that didn't make it through and grouped them below by topic.

Hope that helps!

It seems like religious memes get extra scrutinized, IMO. A bunch of your memes may have been featured, but then bumped backed to submitted based on the downvotes they received. You seem to have been trolled, people are downvoting really funny memes.

How would I know if I've been trolled?

I've just noticed that when I've been trolled I will get memes featured, but then pulled back to submitted when they get 2 or more downvotes

I've seen that happen with a couple of mine - they were on the Latest page, then dropped back to the "Submitted" category.

But I assumed that could just be people who downvoted because they sincerely disliked the memes, rather than anyone with an intent to troll.

Maybe my memes suck. :)

I'm sure its just random with some of my memes too, on the other hand it happened to several when I was being trolled so I just assumed thats what it was and I don't think I'm wrong about that LOL

I'm not sure if there's enough of a pattern with my memes to say that some aren't getting through because of particular topics. The majority of memes I submit get put through.

True, but 1/3 of the memes you listed are religious so they stuck out to me and the memes I can't get featured since the PP scandal are the ones which bring in religion. I haven't submitted religious memes before so I was wondering if they were tougher to get through.

I'd have to check the proportion of religious memes in the ones that got through to have a fair comparison.

136 memes featured, 35 religious (including 9 about Supreme Court gay marriage ruling): 25.7%

Oh wonderful! Thank you, off to take a look.....

imgflip.com/i/odihx I'll start, stuck in submitted purgatory. Its pretty tame on the topic so I wonder why it doesn't get through?
