Some memes they don't like, I feel that they feature them in the middle of the night when no one is on. Sometimes memes do take a long time, but yes some terms they are more sensitive about. They used to not feature memes about ISIS, for example.
This one reminds me of the movie "The Son in Law" with Pauly Shore. LONG STORY!! Involving that movie, a sugar cube, ginger bread houses, crawling pepperonis and me many years ago. LOL
Lol. "Crushing" isn't severe enough. "Soul-crushing" would be better... Hmm, interesting. I suppose I could re-create this particular submission, omitting the original, non-featured memes. Then maybe it would get featured and I'd get some helpful comments.
Do we know if the featuring of a submission always requires a human? Or could there be some kind of programmed approval mechanism, that perhaps runs periodically? I suppose that couldn't be part of the submission process, otherwise a submission would be featured immediately, or not at all (unless a flag was being set, and then read at a later time by some kind of update/refresh procedure).

No, the common belief here is our mods are human, no mod-bots like reddit or imgur, they have occasionally commented, and they are users, some use alts, and some not often, but they do communicate. But not on all our requests and emails.
Oh, I see. Good to know. It would be really awesome to get our hands on all of the data they have - find out what the rate of submissions is at a given time, know definitively how the templates ranked, in terms of popularity, etc.
TWO OF MY RECENT SUBMISSIONS DID NOT GET FEATURED; I EMAILED IMGFLIP, BUT THEY HAVEN'T TOLD ME YET WHAT RULES WERE VIOLATED; BOTH MEMES MADE DRUG REFERENCES; AND USED CUSTOM, STYLIZED VERSIONS OF EXISTING MEME TEMPLATES; ANY; IDEAS?
