THE OFFICIAL IMGFLIP PEACE TREATY; TO END THE DOWNVOTE WARS hotkeys: D = random, W = like, S = dislike, A = back
My plan to try and ease tempers is to get everyone to sign a peace treaty to pledge they will stop downvoting/flagging the opposition and help to try and rebuild the trust in the community. It will take time and tensions will still be high, but we can overcome them. Furthermore, I am bringing back the Counter-Troll Squad to help make sure things roll along more smoothly. Anyone interested in signing up for CTS, I will have a pledge in the comments on here. To sign the treaty, just reply to this comment and write your username followed by "for peace". Also try and share the link to this treaty with anyone you know on here who's been participating in downvoting or been getting downvoted. Lets work together to bring Imgflip back to glory.
Feel free to link this on either of my front pagers.
Jk. Love the meme.
:)
Ok

I go for peace
and plus i''m just a nice guy who what to stick up for the smaller users

I'm late to the party but I'm traveling with work so much I just haven't had time to get on the site lately.

Jussayin.
I upvote what I like, and I've only issued a few downvotes when someone was calling another poster a rude, insulting name.
I am stingy with downvotes unless it is a meme done in worse taste than anything I could think of.
[and for the record, I love things done in extremely bad taste, so thats saying a lot]
I see where a few have abused the downvotes to hurt others. I realize that's the part you're addressing. I do have a question though, how are people seeing downvotes? I saw where you mentioned taking some over your post. How could you tell?
I have experienced all of these.
I've also been stuck on 2 submissions a day for months now with no explanation as to why. I submit my quota almost daily, so I would think it would've gone back to 3 by now. It's not so bad, though; less pressure to come up with meme ideas.
Thanks for the clear exposition. You DO rock...if I hadn't't mentioned it lately.
I've been @ 2 (×2) for EVER. I wonder of they changed a policy at some point (I first logged on in Sept/Oct.)
1redshoe 4 Peace.
Love - peace - an end to Fratricide.
I'm glad we all have that common organ....the heart. Cheers.
Are there any rules?
I'd like to join!
I will support and defend OlympianProduct's treaty, and I will support and defend the rules and terms of service of this website using the resources at all of our disposal.
Conduct
In any content that you create or modify while using this website, do not discriminate against any sect, commit illegal acts, advertise, harass others, or otherwise make it less fun for other people.
•U•
I've said some things that crossed the line, no doubt.
But there's others here should be suspended and/or banned from imgflip for what they've been doing.
Let's not bullshit ourselves.
Truth and Recocilliation has worked in Africa, and Central America....perhaps it would serve a useful purpose. Perhaps apage where people could "own" their alts and/or cop to what they done. Make an effort to.apologize to those they've wronged. All in a safe atmosphere for healing....
But what do I know...?
He's one of the biggest offenders. One of the most prolific rule violators on this gawdam site. Have you...READ the TOS? This dude doesn't qualify for any "accountability squads."
This of course after he randomly came to one of my memes MONTHS after we had last argued about Trump to talk shit and told me to slit my wrists.
But you're not gonna seriously tell me that ren hasn't been alt-accounting to death ANYBODY WHO DISAGREES WITH HIM, AND MAKES HIM LOOK DUMB.
I don't buy it. What? Does he have all his "supporters' " #s and emails? Does he notify them to come downvote the hell outta comments he doesn't like?
Bull. Shit.
As long as THAT'S the case? I call this "agreement" a failure. I've rarely come across such rude, antagonistic people online. And definitely not on a site that's supposed to make people LAUGH.
And not just alt-right, racist white people. That's what's become of imgflip. It's a haven for lowlifes like that.
I do not have any alt accounts. I never post anonymously. Any meme or comment that relates to me negatively (I.e. saying all Trump supporters are racist), I will downvote. A meme I simply disagree with gets ignored by me. Douchy comments directed toward others will get downvoted by me. It takes a particularly Douchy meme to get downvoted by me.
If your meme gets enough downvotes, you cant reply to a comment on one of your own memes? AND there is no internet magic to change that, so we need a treaty?
Well then, I too vote for peace, because war sux ballz.
Good on you guys for taking it on this way.
BUT:
If something in the internet sets me up (i.e. news, strange FB comments, etc), I will give it a wide berth. You made a very good initiative Olympian! But this is just a meme site, not my entire life. I'm harassed? I'll quit for some time. Very easy (for me!!).
Of course a certain "web etiquette" would be nice, but what do we have admins for? Wouldn't it be easier to change some rules (and consequences) of downvotes?
I'm for clear rules. If someone has a slightly different view than me, well that's life.
I know that the recent problems of some of our flippers weren't nice and it is not cool that you can no longer react to other users because someone has another opinion. But feeding those trolls will only make them bigger.
Concerning to your CTS I'm very sceptical. Do that what Swiggys-back recommended: inform the admins! If the amount of complaints increase they have to react and change the matrix.
Altogether I appreciate your actions for a settlement!!!

I don't do witch hunts, and I'm against tying the hands of legit users. Mind you, I say this as someone with two barnacles in this very thread. They aren't breaking the TOS by downvoting or disagreeing with me. Disagreement isn't trolling or harassment. Even if they see it that way (or claim to see it that way because they have an interest to), I don't.
...and the site owner is doing his job: owning the site. It's his site. He can disappear all the memes and make it about bunnies and unicorns if he wants.
IMO, people need to chill. If we become more trouble than we're worth, this will end badly. I've seen this happen before.
The owner of a website owes you nothing. The admins owe you nothing. They provide a resource, and they can decide on a whim to take it down. People should remember that when they're making trouble for anyone here. If everyone did, then that would solve the problem at the root.
It does if it's used specifically to attack other people, which is the point everyone else got and the whole point of the treaty.
"I don't do witch hunts, and I'm against tying the hands of legit users."
There's no witch hunt, there's just having some common decency. Also if following TOS is "tying the hands of legit users", those users have no business on Imgflip.
"The owner of a website owes you nothing. The admins owe you nothing."
Blatently false. The memes we make generate traffic to the site which generates ad and Imgflip Pro revenue, which means the site can pay its bills and make improvements to keep existing traffic as well as bring in more traffic. It's Business101. The service is nothing without customers.
"They provide a resource, and they can decide on a whim to take it down. People should remember that when they're making trouble for anyone here. If everyone did, then that would solve the problem at the root."
They could do that, but they most likely won't. If Imgflip got shut down right now, we lose a meme site. You and I will continue with our lives. They however lose all the income the site brought in and a site like this brings in more than enough to keep the lights on. Basically, it makes no business sense to shut the site down because a few users are being assholes.
Many people not liking someone and downvoting them isn't against the TOS. This is why people don't get banned even for well announced and documented downvoting parties. It's in bad taste and reeks of thirst, but it's not technically against the rules.
A once and done outburst is also not against the rules, so long as no threats were made and it's basically within the realm of protected speech. Even some shady stuff a certain person here says isn't against the TOS because she's not coming out and saying she wants to kill all the "black" people or something. She is allowed to be whatever kind of WN she likes, and that may not be my way, but it's not my business. I don't need that badly to be liked.
...and at the point that a site becomes a s***hole and ceases to be profitable because sponsors pull out or nobody wants to go there because it's full of fail, the owner does not owe us to keep things running. He doesn't need to carry the albatross once it starts to rot.
So everybody needs to start treating this place like we are guests in someone's home. You don't come in and poop on the carpet and then act like they owe you to keep welcoming you. They don't. Many sites have disappeared for less pressing reasons. He could sell it, and that's his call, not ours.
...unless they're calling be a "black" ethnomasochist because I'm married to a Jew.
Nah...
It was 2014. Do a search. CH started it claiming basically that conservatives who were okay with diversity and liberal men were perverts who liked to watch their wives getting the deep hot tube steak from men of color because that is the inevitable result. It hit 4chan with the same definition, being used in a flamewar between some more and less rabid WN's.
It started as a WN term for a "white" ethnomasochist, and it's still being used the same way today. If you don't know that, it's because you've been lied to by some WN lite site.
But that's not the point. The point is that people should pay for advertising here. If you're promoting a politician or some website, you should have to pay like any other business. If you don't then what you're doing is spam...and even if you are paying, there's a point when you need to be like a good DJ and feel the room. People have had enough, so change the track.
cuck
"Cuck" a weak, feckless, spineless, and decidedly pathetic specimen of manliness.
Word Origin: In mid 2016 the term came to prominence when supporters of Donald Trump came to refer to Republican presidential contender Jeb Bush as a "Cuckservative" (cuck+conservative), implying that he was a weak, testicle-lacking, creampuff of man, and a poor representative of what Trump-supporters considered proper GOP presidential timber. Jeb responded by effectively proving them right. The term Cuck has since taken a life if its own as an insult towards anyone who comes across as femmy, weak, or lacking in enough testosterone to get their balls to drop.
"Did you see that dickless Jeb Bush outright *beg* that crowd for an applause? What a cuck!"

The moral Arc of the Universe is Long... But it Bends towards Justice.
What I said is not any more hurtful than what he says.
- I do not think it means what you think it means....but how would I know! I sent a question en meme ... But my reply was a downvote....
Funny ass shit.
But then I realized....this guy is WAY douchy-er than the Guy they hit.
Order restored. Crisis Averted.
Cause Christians have killed a few a gays, too.
;)
Bet YOU no how to reach me quietly.... Please do. I have something I would like to show you...I'm still learning my own LIFE HACKS.
Beware of hansome1. He's a doosh.
I see a friend getting Taunted and down downvoted simultaneously....is there a reason why this guy should have a GOOD enough comment reputation to post SO often?
imgflip.com/user/Modda
Aside from questioning my religion and calling me a Muslim (perhaps I should convert, to make him happy) he has a penchant for weird non-sequitors and confident statements about peoplethat he CLEARLY doesn't't know.
Frankly the whole thread should be Nuked on TOS....but whatever...more speech not LESS, right?

I'd post that but your CRYING has reached the Mods it would seem. Or did you ask you Clavern for back-up?
Crying with laughter.....perhaps.
You incompetent BOOB of a TROLL....
WHY DO YOU keep talking? Oh that's right....virtual fingers are harder to break-off and take home, with me.... Cause you wouldn't talk like that to MY face....would you?
Feel to give it try. I'm Always available to see Exactly what kind Creep I'm talking to..
Venice Pier. Come giver a try if you like. You Kook, Goon, and Barney. Talk is always cheap....but your words are worthless - like the "intelligence" behind them. TU VALES NADA. PUTO.
Also sent another one that him and his 'friend' sound identical in phrasing, use of caps, temperament, etc,,
But what in hell do you mean about me believing in only one god?
So all you "moderates" sitting in the middle, be advised as to who can honor an agreement and who cannot. Just look at the carnage at UC Berkeley and across America as a result of an election, riots, property destruction, beatings... Leftists, not Trump supporters.
But I think that you "might have....said a few things...." - as we ALL have.
I Can't Tell for Sure...at present.
Some REASON that this STAGE of the "VICTORY" LAP CAN'T be in N. Carolina...W. Virginia, or Somewhere that they ACTUALLY WANT to see ANY of those people?'>
That it is a DELIBERATE act of PROVOCATION. Like INSULTING YOUR Spaghetti Monster...or Their Prophet.
Since YOU TOO behave as an "AGENT PROVOCATEUR" on the REGULAR. ....I DON'T expect you to ADMIT that you GET THE CONCEPT....
But really, if you wanted to write a text-book on Provocations....Your BASIC little Taunt-and-Switch tactics would be in the first chapter....about NOT BEING SUCCESSFUL. How to Lose against virtually ANY non-aspergery, emotionally stunted, or functionally Retarded opponent....meaning everyone - but someone JUST like yourself....
If ONLY, SKEEVY Sociopaths like yourself Were CAPABLE of GUILT....or SHAME....Your submississons and TKO's would probably come quicker....like MAYBE the FIRST time, that you realize that you've lost the battle - if you're EVEN capable of Moments of Clarity of that sort.
Sure FREE SPEECH....But remember.fighting words and Disturbing the peace. And Briebart's people can schedule a DANZIG SHOW IN UTAH (an area with Virtually NO FANS, say)...but people THERE will have a RIGHT to Their lawful protest, as well.....and if the Breitbarts of the world were LESS universally REVILED in the areas where they plan their "speeches"... Then there would little trouble.
But WHEN the Nazis March on Skokie (for instance) courts have Upheld permit cancellations because of the DANGER to PUBLIC ORDER. It's a balancing act...but one that tips toward public safety....
As we've SEEN...the police have limited options....once it starts POPPING - OFF.
Personally I say that they appeared content, to just LET it HAPPEN - IN SPITE of the bad Optics (for the Actual peaceful protestors).
But if America is Burning while ya boy TRUMP fiddles around...long-term that reinforces the meme that the DUDE IS and always has been UNPOPULAR....so MY guess....the local Dem politicos were happy to let that riot occur and metastastasize.. Which plays right into the hands of far right Minority Whips of your sort....the ones too Young (gudssing here) to REMEMBER Tom DeLay's STAFF ... orchestrating the BROOKS BROTHERS RIOT in FL.
Did you Read the post above? Or were you JUST waiting for your opportunity to make another non-sequitorial remark?

APPARENTLY Our little INTERNET NAZI TERRORIST HAS BEGUN THE DOWNVOTE CAMPAIGN AGAIN. SORRY THIS POST CAN't HAZ MEME COMMENT. (Caps lock JUST cause it makes B**CHES CRINGE.)
Nothing you say is accurate....or worth reading AND responding to.
That I have done so upto NOW....was either RASH and foolishly reactive....instinctive, understandable and NECESSARY...or just a left handed compliment (really more a series of windmills to the trachea - but apparently you are used to that...I DIDN'T know you could even DEVELOP a good callus in that area....and, since you lack the CHI, pretty clearly, for a TRUE 'Iron Shirt' technique.....it is unclear WHOM, or what could be keeping you alive enough to babble @ yourself @ this point...).
Anyways I wonder....when you hear the abbreviation SDT's. ... Do you think ONLY of SUN DRIED TOMATOES?
Because I know ANOTHER Definition. I know how to DRAFT them....too.
Something to think about. Sometimes if you meet 29 ASSHOLES a day....SOMETIMES it's really just ONE LITTLE operative wearing an elaborate series of disguises.
GOD BLESS TAMMYFAYE - ONE or two little letters can make a HUGE difference - they can have Life altering consequences....

I am of the opinion that your mixed text attempted powerplay indicates some real serious issues between your ears, so I'm just going to give you a width berth. You talk a lot, say nearly nothing. I bet your Mom dressed you funny as a kid and you never recovered...
