It's been happening a lot here lately

Not sure what’s going on

It's always taken them a little time to register. There's also a lot of new users that don't comment or return likes. It's pretty odd seeing a front page meme with a series of comments with no up votes.

I see what you mean. I’m guessing they get their upvotes by being on other sites? Who knows! But I get it now

Sometimes I'll try to reply w/ a meme in the comments & it won't post after several tries.

Yeah, while you were away imgflip might have implemented IP monitoring. Lots of rising young stars are noticing that their upvotes just don't seem to stick, darn it. You are not the only one to mention that.

Upvote!

Sorry I’m not smart enough to have other accounts, I can barely remember one email and password!

Exactly!

I don’t remember you? Oh great, comment timer now.

The comments on the political memes typically won't get upvoted by the meme creator if they don't agree with them. I don't upvote political memes or meme comments if the user is just outright rude and name calling. Otherwise, I will upvote them.

So I'm not the only one then, haha.

I've even posted comments reminding them to do so.
One meme last year complained about not getting upvotes, yet the OP didn't upvote the comments even after replying to them.

This silly competition for the top has made some reluctant to upvote, as if they're scared of boosting the competition, even with those who won't even get close.

I'm not really worried about the points. It's more of a common courtesy thing and acknowledgement of your post.

I'm not saying you are, you're just doing the right thing.

And yeah, in the very least it shows the post was looked at. Taking out time to make a meme, type a comment, only to not even know if it was seen by at least the intended is no joy.

haha

Most of the time, if I leave the page and return in a minure or two, it will register

It's funny what we think is important.

My submission for tomorrow , it does happen too much

That's rich, coming from you.

The comment is from IMGFLIP' s king of the Trolls . I have no alt-accounts

excuse me but we all know who is the biggest troller here

Leave Ianosite and JamieFrederickson out of this! LOL (I'm kidding) I actually don't know who you're talking about

lol you know exactly who i mean
and wait what lanosite is a troller ?!?!!

Check my Lincoln memorial meme and tell me if I'm right

This new user had his only submission go back to submitted after a visit from him. imgflip.com/i/24doq6 I bookmarked it to see what would happen after his comment, and then called him out after it went from featured to submitted. I have seen other examples of it from him. Don't take my word, watch and decide for yourself.

Lol, it reminded me of the same face. : p
