KenJ and I must be having a mutual admiration society going. We keep inspiring the other with meme ideas in our comments

Sorry about the late reply. I meme primarily from work and was busy this weekend outside it.

That's okay. Been busy today, myself. Got out in "timeout" because a local troll got miffed that I flagged his latent TOS violation. This time, I had to go over the mods heads and file an abuse report. With luck, there may be an opening on the leaderboard. Just hard to do when I'm trying to teach a goal (quarter million points by tomorrow. Just need a little over 4000) I'll see what happens.

You can go over the mods' heads? What's a 'TOS violation'?

It took some doing, but I can be tenacious. Still had to do a feedback form to get out of timeout.

TOS Terms Of Service. "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."

That covers a lot of territory. If someone threatens, intimidates, or stalks you, you have recourse. First, read the actual message. Does it violate anything in those terms of service. If you feel they are intimidating or harassing you, or being abusive, and can describe what it is, you have a clear TOS violation. Flag it. If it continues, keep flagging. Chances are, they are doing the same with others. If so, flag those actual incidents. It's best not to reply to these users, because they're laying a trap. The worst you can do to them, directly, is to ignore them altogether. The only way they find out is when they can't meme comment or have to wait hours between comments.

I used a feedback form and the e-mail address in 'general' to help dig myself out.

That 'TOS' describes about 50% of the users of imgflip. :P

The feedback form works well for me. They must check not just my messages, but the complaining persons messages. The last few times one of the major offenders tried dragging me into a flame war, well, the mods were well able to see (s)he was trying to instigate. I did not comment on a meme, comment, or reply, even when called out. All I did was flag the abusive statements. Now just waiting to see what happens next. Time out, limited posts, or account cancelation. I put it to Imgflip that it is a business that has two different customers they have to satisfy: paying, pro account customers and their advertisers. As a pro account, I shouldn't have to deal with abuse from a non paying customer. Secondly, they provide advertisers with viewers. Viewership may be down already because of these trolls, especially when you look at the number of leaderboard accounts that have that have been deleted because of these trolls. We'll see.

Yeah, the deletion rate is noticeable. And there's quite a few users who take sabbaticals. I hadn't thought of it that way; eyes for the advertisers. I've dropped my political memeing and commenting from about 50% to maybe 5% so I've been less hassled as of late. I've been told my last downvoter may not have been the politico I thought it was but someone with a grudge against someone else.

I notice that one of the worst offenders hasn't posted much the last few days. I don't know if the accout was throttled or if his submissions are being rejected. But he is being monitored.

I'll check out your posts in a bit. Just woke up to 15 notifications.

I arrived at work to 47 notifications. Good thing work is slack at the moment. :P

I had three when I got up, answered one, you're #2, and I had 6 more pop in. LOL.

Notifications would be the bane of existence if it weren't for the fact that they indicate that people like you.

Check this out. Not one of my memes, but you'll notice another person that replied. As long of a reply I left, he never said a word.

I won't say another word about it, but you can figure it out.

Yeah. Some people throw up the same political meme over and over, just with slightly different wording, and they get upvotes from all the other nutjobs.

Speaking of non-political memes, here's my submissions for today: imgflip.com/i/1jp34w & imgflip.com/i/1jp3lq & imgflip.com/i/1jp3xg

I think the man with the cure for her was the licker
