LETS SEE IF THIS WORKS

Thanks for making this meme Spudly. Here are a bunch of mine that haven't featured in the past week or so.

Cool, I'll get the ball rolling!

Why in the world would any of these get denied?? I don't understand what's going on....

Maybe the last one in the list because it's so large, over 10K x 7K pixels. The rest I'm not sure. Thanks for taking a look at them:)

Heh Heh

I'll go too!

I've had pretty good luck with mine lately, but have an upvote. Good idea.

Thank you Socrates!!

Lmao!! Show off!!!

Lmao!!

:p

So cool to see somebody relatively new around here helping people out like this. I made a meme like this a while back it's really cool to try and help others. I don't have anything myself to add but an upvote that will hopefully get this seen by more people ;)

Thanks bro!! I just couldn't see why so many weren't making it out. After seeing them, I was like, These are awesome! WTH!!

Yeah, I've had some myself that I always wondered why they never made it, but it has been a long time I usually make it through now no matter how crazy some of my ideas may be. Before I figured out that memes without any captions don't make it through I had a few fail for that reason. But then I see others pass that aren't photo shopped or anything like mine were. But I guess that goes for anybody that doesn't have something go through, to us we don't understand why, but the mods see things differently than we do and every person thinks their own way you can't change that. Hopefully this meme helps some good ones get through but if they haven't featured in over 24hrs the odds of them getting through without being re-submitted is really slim. Sometimes just deleting them and trying again at a later date is all it takes.

Thanks for the advice brother!! I think your words will help a lot of us newbies!! Personally, I think as long as they don't violate any rules or terms, they should be sent through to allow the masses to decide. But then again, the mods have been doing this a lot longer than I have lol! ;)

Thanks bro I hope you are right ;) Some things around here just aren't going to make sense. I've seen memes get featured that never should have. One time a guy put Trumps head on the naked body of some old guy with a really small unit and it made it through without even a nsfw flag!! So that to me says anything is really possible lmao. The thing is it comes down to humans making human decisions and sometimes mistakes are made. I do however prefer that to a computer deciding what is funny so we take what we can get and just hope not too many things are left out we would have enjoyed. Just searching through the latest pages sometimes at the garbage some people submit that they don't even intend to be funny drives me nuts. Stuff like immature insults or people using the Picard WTF template and then just captioning it with "WTF" like they are the first one to think of it even though the template is titled "Picard WTF" LMFAO! I just use that as an example even though I have seen it happen multiple times honestly, but the point I am trying to make is that is the stuff we see make it through all the time. Can you imagine how hard it must be as a mod sorting through that stuff? We don't even have to see what they save us from by not featuring it. I'm sure they don't mean to stop us from seeing good memes, I just know if it was my job to sort through some of the stuff people put on here I might make a mistake now and then just from all the crap I have to read on a regular basis lol! Not saying people shouldn't try to get something featured if it's good and a mistake was made somehow, I'm more than willing to upvote anything if they send me a link and it's decent. I just don't want people to blame the mods is all because I don't think many people realize what it is exactly they have to go through in order to save us from some incredibly bad memes ;)

Yeah, I can't imagine how many thousands of memes, many of which they've seen done hundreds of times, that they have to sift through! I wasn't sure if this would work or not, but at least some people can get their stuff seen and maybe make a new follower or whatever!! ;)

Oh yeah bro don't get me wrong what you've done here is a great idea, I've seen it done by many top users like Raydog, Socrates, and even myself though theirs did much better than mine but anyway...lol. I just wanted to make some sort of half drunk point about what the mods have to deal with, only because people can blame them for stuff and not think about how hard their job is. It's funny because the imgflip rules state that you shouldn't submit a repost but we all know those happen all the time and make it through. Yet there is no repost police, a repost never gets downvoted back to submission like some troll memes do, and they can feature at times when some good original memes don't. It just is what it is, some users even get mad at the person who will call out a repost instead of the reposter even when the imglfip guidelines ask people straight out not to do it. So I can totally agree with somebody getting upset if they make an original meme and it doesn't feature and then they see a bunch of reposts that have.

Like you said it should mostly be up to us to choose what we like and don't. Even if it's a repost if somebody likes it they should be able to, there is just no way for any mod to be able to tell if every meme is original or not. I think a persons best bet is to luckily find a meme like this one to post a link on, then if people say hey that's good, to delete it and re-submit it. Unfortunately no matter how many upvotes one may get here that didn't feature, if it's been 24hrs it has no chance if it does feature of moving up at all on the hot pages. I have had success on the second submit though and hope others will as well :)

Thanks Jying!! What kind of beer you drinking? Or is it BEER? LOL

Nope, I've had some grape 99's, they are a shot of 99 proof stuff calledd 99's lol. Gas station I go to a lot has them 2 for $1 and they pack a punch for sure! I don't drink beer very much, too many calories and I swear all I do is pee when I drink it. I like my alcohol strong and in shot form, I'm working on building my own still but for now the 99's don't make me feel like I'm throwing money away on booze. I used to buy really expensive stuff but honestly it all does the same thing and I'd rather spend my money on my kids ;)

Mine may be a little too politically incorrect. But I'll upvote those in the comments.

imgflip.com/i/1nwhtv

I welcome all points of view whether I agree or not! You can never know how you truly feel about a subject until you hear from both sides! ;)

Just so I'm clear, I will not up vote any meme that is a personal attack on another user. I have no problem with politics or current affairs, but outright bashing on someone on this site is off limits for me!

Thanks for showing love.

Here's one from a while ago, a little too un-PC to get featured.

Another old one.

I had this one last week :/ https://i.imgflip.com/1ntw75.jpg

Lol, Damn!!!! Good job Tokes!

it was a comment on another LGBT meme where we were discussing the meanings of the letters being used...seen another few passed by the mods afterwards but mine got slammed :(

Ain't it always the way?!? Lol. I thought it was well done!

:p

I only had one not feature the other one I deleted after submitting because after some reflection I thought it was in bad taste lol

Yeah, I've had one not go through and another I deleted when I first started here not knowing it would count against me lol

Oh great - it counts against you if you delete?

This is a bit off topic, but for memes that did get featured from others, but had very poor grammar, I would down-vote those memes in an effort to give better memes more of a chance of higher rankings. But apparently down-voting bad grammar has repercussions where I would submit memes very early in the morning (around 5 a.m.), and they would not be featured until very late in the day. So I guess my question is, 'What is the purpose of the down-vote button?". And what is the etiquette for using it?

Personally, and I'm not knocking you for doing it, I don't down vote because of grammar. My main reason, besides the fact that I'm horrible with it myself lol, is that I've notice that a lot of these memes are created by young kids who are just trying to have a bit of fun and I don't want to feel like I'm squashing that. For that matter, I don't know anything about the person on the other side and what their situation is at all. The only down voting I do is when it comes to user bashing. ESPECIALLY bashing simply based on jealousy. Instead of simply being happy for another being and possibly learning from what they've done to do well here, some people simply take the low road and become very petty. Thanks for the comment Wayne!!

Thanks for your feedback, Spudly.

;)

sorry to be so stupid - but how do I find the unfeatured ones? I only have 4.

Hey trishaw. One possibility is you deleted those 4 after you submitted them, either intentionally or unintentionally. It happens, I have done that. Otherwise, go to your profile page or the main dropdown on the upper right and click "my images" Pick the drop-down on the left side of that page that says "Submitted Images" and hit update. All your submissions will be on those pages. Scroll through, most will say "featured" in green, four might say "submitted" in orange or red. Those four were either downvoted back to submitted (they would likely have 40 or so views, maybe an upvote or two). If they never featured, they would have around 10 or less views. If you are interested and can find them, post links here as a reply.

Thank you!

this one is kind of vulgar - probably why it wasn't featured
