Upvotes are the currency of this community

While I have retreated to a private stream for now, many of my old memes are receiving replies from new members of this site. First let me say thank you for responding to them. Now let me explain to you that this site is very much a community and that community has an etiquette you really should take to heart.

When you see a meme that you like, upvote it even if you don't add a comment

When commenting on a meme you are expected to upvote it

When someone comments on your meme you are expected to upvote that comment

Remember this is a social site, so be sociable. I have made many friends here because of the back and forth of commenting on each other's memes.

We also have an excellent stream for new members to learn about how this site works. https://imgflip.com/m/How_2_Imgflip

Thanks again and enjoy your time here!

I see this type of reminder a lot these days unfortunately, but it doesnt seem to be sticking...cheers bro, hope you're well.

And yes I'm feeling better. I was mostly sick of the Corona virus jokes I had to endure at work despite being back for more than two months.

Yeah I know where to find you, I try to stop by and upvote your stuff when I can, honestly just haven't been on that much. I haven't had time to really put any creative thought into anything in a while actually, life is kicking my ass right now. Glad you're feeling better, and I'll say that for all the talk about the virus your trip seemed to have been impeccably timed.

And this people is an excellent example. Thparky and I became friends on this site by commenting in each other's memes. It was the friendly banter back and forth that makes this place special, but we also upvoted each other's comments as a show of respect.

And thus, a friendship was born. Many in fact. It's a show of respect for each other, you'll make so many more meaningful acquaintances by just being respectful to one another. I've seen so many lost opportunities to upvote or gain points because of this lost courtesy.
