Finally happened to me what happened to others before - front page meme that I admitted was a repost in the comments got to front page and then got yanked back to submitted. The mods can be cruel.

I found the original artist! Yes, it’s odd that first they would have approved it (it was uploaded as a new image), and then later decided to yank it. There are tons of obvious reposts that are not unfeatured.

The top 3 memes are 100% reposts, do they think we wrote a letter on parenting skills, got a cat-accino, or have a purse that looks like Jabba the Hut??

RayDogs meme disappeared. I also disagree since it is very subjective, just in the mod’s mind. I don’t think they get anything practical out of screening for “popular” “reposts”, so why do it?

And then you see stuff like this in Latest, that the mods apparently let through - imgflip.com/i/2heqj1

Yes, it is odd. I flag them when I see them, but I’m not on much. Once I even submitted an intentionally funny ad (any one could realize), and it wouldn’t feature, as if they couldn’t tell the difference.

Is it worth sending feedback to the mods about this? To the effect that if a meme is already on the front page, and people are enjoying it, it shouldn't be pulled just for being a repost (or something along those lines). I can understand them wanting to pull controversial memes that might start fights. But there's nothing wrong with a repost, especially if not a lot of people have seen it before (which is likely the case, if it got upvoted to the front page in the first place).

Yes it may help although the mods clearly have taken a firm position in the link Andrew shared elsewhere on the comments. If I do it, I am biased because I was the victim. I don’t see the difference between a repost and a popular repost (I think they are hurt by claims imgflip is recycled content from other meme sites popular memes). The way I see it, all memes are equal, if users don’t like it, it won’t be upvoted, and won’t reach the front page.

It says "I ain't your friend" and then it says "I ain't your friend either"

Who is Darkness talking to the second time?

The guy says to the darkness “hello darkness, my old friend”. Darkness responds “I ain’t your friend”. Darkness leaves, leaving light behind. Light (white) says “I ain’t your friend either”. So light leaves, and only transparency left behind.

This time I chose shameless repost from the internet!

Seems like images with no captions have a less than 50 chance of featuring, then if they get hot, there is a very good chance they will get pulled back to submitted. I've had it happen once or twice to me, and I've seen that happen so many times to other users. I've never understood why users can make memes with no captions and submit them, but meme comments have to have a caption that can be set to zero font size.

I still liked it :)

The image description is there, I wrote it with 0-size text. I even suggested once to imgflip that they disallow 0-size text if they want to avoid people just grabbing memes off the internet and reposting them. But that was also not implemented.

Same thing happened to Swiggy. I was compelled to look it up with my synaptical Rolodex. Search terms acuity12+gamify. imgflip.com/i/21q7os

I don’t want to complain too much, I understand they have some standards, but I disagree with their means to enforce them. As I said earlier, why cherry pick memes to unfeature and waste their time reviewing them when they can simply require minimum values for text size. I’m sure it’s not too difficult, although image size does play a role (text size is small on HD memes for example), and users could still try to achieve the same result but have a harder if not impossible time doing so. Now you can move text boxes almost outside of the picture, which didn’t make sense to me. There are so many reposts like this, and instead of making some small rules inside the code, they want a manual process that is subjective and inconsistently applied. They need to make better processes inside instead of bells and whistles. Try to enable auto processing and enlist some community users to be mods to take down clear violations of TOS (advertising, hate, etc.) Waiting hours or days for a custom image to feature, that is the true definition of original content, flies in the face of their supposed goals, instead they want to spend their time unfeaturing front page memes that they already featured.
