9) Communism or capitalism?

10) What is the best stream on imgflip?

11) What is the best way to deal with cyberbullying?

12) Do you think “popular user privilege” exists, and if so, is it a problem?

13) Why are you the best candidate for this position?

1) Making sure everyone gets treated equally. I will accomplish this by continuing my work on making Imgflip less toxic. (see q. 13 for more detail)

2) Democrat

3) Nico, I chose them because they've been on this site a lot longer than I have, and they've seen more.

4) Fairness, not everyone needs the same things.

5) The fact that it has Chinese spyware does take away a bit. Honestly though, people are getting depressed, injured and even suicidal from it. That isn't good.

6) Nothing wrong with them, why is that a question?

7) People are still dying from it at an exponential rate, it's still a threat and we need to do something about it.

8) I personally don't like upvote begging in non-upvote begging streams. It creates clutter.

9) Capitalism

10) That's a tough one lol. I honestly don't think I have an answer, though I am most active in middle-school

11) Unbiased mods and hate-free places such as https://imgflip.com/m/the_new_imgflip.

12) Yes, it does. It's a problem. New users need to get attention too.

13) I have actually done stuff in the past. I made an image in the imgflip stream about how there is too much hate, someone suggested a stream called "The_New_Imgflip," I created it, and it grew very quickly. I still continue to do whatever I can to prevent hate on this site.

im starting 8th graddddeeeee

Nice! ^w^

im kinda nervous <3

Haha I feel ya <3

im also nervous because i just told my girl bff that I'm pansexual, and idk what she is gonna say.

It takes a lot of courage to do that *hugs*

*hug back* she's bi so i think she'll be understanding

nyehhhhhhhh, Canvas wont let me log innnnnnn, reeeeeeeee

<3 <3 <3

<3

Unbiased mods as in MODS who use their privilege to out people who trust you to keep quiet when flagging or submitting anonymous memes? How can we trust you as president? You can't even respect users in your own streams. Not cool dude. That was absolutely uncalled for and you know it.

to make imgflip less toxic, we need 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺 mods who are unbiased and don't just delete whatever they disagree with. If you're talking about the damn_adults stream, yes, there will be arguments, you can't just expect adults to walk into the damn_adults stream and have me be all "𝒲𝑒𝓁𝒸𝑜𝓂𝑒 𝓉𝑜 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒟𝒶𝓂𝓃_𝒜𝒹𝓊𝓁𝓉𝓈 𝓈𝓉𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓂, 𝓌𝑒 𝒽𝑜𝓅𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝑒𝓃𝒿𝑜𝓎 𝓎𝑜𝓊𝓇 𝓈𝓉𝒶𝓎."

Not talking about that stream. I mean reporting to your friends who has flagged memes. Most recently your self named stream. Why pin that responsibility just on community mods? It should be every mods responsibility to end toxicity, starting with not reporting others when it's expected to be anonymous.

So, maybe I was wrong in flagging. I didn't realize your kid stream was a dumping ground for kylie's minogue gifs. If that's the case he can have at it. That's no excuse for squealing on me. I've never revealed who flags and I get plenty some pretty stupid but I still respect the confidentiality that users expect when reporting to MODS. That move only contributes to toxicity not ending it. Now your 30 year old buddy is mocking me in his cringe stream thanks to you.

I never revealed who flagged. But spam is allowed in that stream, otherwise it would just remain empty.

oh yeah
i shouldn't have done that
I didn't realize I had revealed who flagged, my apologies

Apology accepted.

Oh yeah, that. Here's a suggestion: read stream terms 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 you flag something.

Point taken it doesn't excuse your behavior.

The stream is gone

the dot messed it up

heres the stream

https://imgflip.com/m/the_new_imgflip

1. Dealing with Toxicity and working on inclusiveness, of course.
2. Democrat
3.I am a VP! Idk why he picked me.
4.Fairness.
5. I don't like tik tok, but memes about hating too too are WAY more annoying than Tik tok.
6. Let them have their fun. I like Minecraft.
7. on the news when they tell you a big scary number, I know that's it's way bigger. Those are reported covid deaths. They'll make some as respiratory failure or a fluke death, but the rates are infitismally growing,and people aren't aware of it.
8.Upvote begger whining is worse than upvote begging. Let them be happy!
9.Capitalism.
10.Middleschool.
11. Too try to reason with the bully first(it would help if it weren't 2 sided XD) and if that doesn't work, consult a MOD or th members of the stream.
12. Yes and No. I agree that we have made a focus of a small circle of users that get all of our attention, and that other user have great memes and are good users. But there's no reason to attack the popular users of the ones who follow the popular users.
13. I'm not the best, but The_Cursed_Trainwatcher is!

1. Trying To Fix Toxicity, and make sure everyone feels welcome to imgflip. I plan to achieve this goal, by trying to help new users, and put Toxic Users and Bullies under a trial. Which 5 people will vote on kicking them out or giving them a second chance.
2. Democrat
3. TifflamemezDatVibezGirl, I chose her because she is a highly charismatic and kind person.
4. Fairness
5. I highly disagree without using tik tok, but will not hate anyone who indeed uses it, and stands neutral in the war against Tik Tok
6: Minecraft in my opinion is an amazing game. It has a change of pace from all those FPSes.
7. I stand that Corona is a big problem, while it may seem to be under control right now. The USA is currently not dealing with it well.
8. I say 50/50, they arent a big problem, but it irritates me to see them Frontpage. If they post their upvote begging memes on the upvote begging stream... then they get my upvotes
9. Capitalism
10. Uhhhh, tie between MiddleSchool and Memes Overload
11. I feel the best way to deal with Cyberbullies is to ignore them, and to not fight back otherwise that will just fuel the fire. If things get too out of hand, tell a global mod.
12. Yes and no. We have a circle of popular users that have quite the attention from other users, but other users who are not. I don't think that either party or popular users and non popular users are better. I believe they create equally as good memes, and both should be treated fairly and without hate.
13. I may not be the best candidate in the voter's eyes, but I can assure them that I will do my best if elected to make their imgflip experience delightful, peaceful, and enjoyable

My top priority is to create a better society and community on imgflip.

I am a democrat.

I do not have a VP.

I prefer fairness.

My view on TikTok is that it is a disgusting app that spies on oblivious Americans.

My opinion on Minecraft players is that they are playing a wonderful, fun, and original game and they should keep it up.

In regard to the coronavirus, it is a real and deadly thing which requires all precautions be taken.

Upvote beggars are a big problem. The concept of upvotes is to reward those who make good and original memes, not give them to those who don’t make good memes but want upvotes. Upvotes are earned, not asked for.

Capitalism over communism.

I think the best Imgflip stream is the best stream. It is mostly original content that has almost no adult themes and makes up about 50%of imgflip users’ laughs.

The best way to deal with cyber bullies is to make it known that it will be punished and condemned on sight and it is WRONG. We are not doing that right now.

I think popular user privilege exists. A lot of popular memes I see on the fun stream front page are always by people like Ryakhne, Trainwatcher, Raydog, del, etc. It’s a bit of a problem though it’s not the popular user’s fault. It’s more likely that memers upvote the memes of popular users, even if an unknown user made the same exact meme.

I think I am the best candidate because I have experienced what we need to fix. Bullying, name calling, fake accusations, etc.

Thank you for reading my answers.

Welcome :)
I'm sure a lot of people will be happy to see you

yay

Ah f**k I'm sorry I forgot to include you in the poll too :'(

Wait can you edit it and add me

Nu you can't edit strawpoll I'm sorry
Hang on I'll make a second poll with you and ASDF then combine that number of votes with the big poll at the end

Oh ok

It’s ok

Thank you for not hating me

lol

1) Kindness, accomplished by STOPPING fights, not ending them
2) Independent
3) No I don't
4) Fairness
5) Well, I stand with it in the "war" because of how unfair people are being.
6) Oh they're fine
7) it's a huge problem, and it separates us from the ones we love, people say it's slowing down but I highly doubt that
8) They aren't really a problem, they CAN be annoying at times, depends on the stream, but if someone's mean to them I will stand with the upvote beggar.
9) Capitalism, ig?
10) I feel like every stream is a great stream so I can't pick a best.
11) The best way ISNT to roast, believe it or not! You laugh it off, report the comment, say something kind, and go somewhere else. I usually add a "have a great day :D)
12) It doesn't exist to me, I want every user to have a chance ((cyberbullies, cringe alert)) to become their very best.
13) Well, if you've already settled voting for someone else I may not be the best candidate, but I can assure you that if I win imgflip would be in the safe hands of kindness, and your experience as an imgflipper would be happy and hopefully peaceful. Have a great day! :D

So popular user privelege does not exist, then lets say a new user makes the same exact meme as you, who will get more upvotes?

I think the one that made it first?

OF COURSE NOT, WHAT DO YOU THINK? ARE YOU EVEN THINKING? USE YOUR BRAIN

I DID USE MY BRAIN

You did not, you ignored all the proof, and said, *Popular user privelege is not real*

Maybe check out the front page from a while ago, you'll see users you dont know very well!

SO? SO? THATS NOT PROOF, I bet you if captain_Scar or you posted the same exact meme then you guys would get more upvotes, STOP DENYING POPULAR USER PRIVELEGE, this is proof you dont care about new users

It's not popular user privilege, it's what's called a fanbase

Thats exactly what popular user privelege is, a bunch of sheep upvoting anything they see, then there is actual users

bruh! That is NOT popular user privilege, you literally invented something to worry about.

bruh! That is popular user privelege, YOU IGNORE IT LIKE EVERY SINGLE THING, Not all of the world is happiness del, you think nothing bad is going on, just cause your at the head of imgflip, but lemme tell you, there is such thing as popular user privelge

You invent something, you worry about it, then you go up to people and accuse them of it!

The head of imgflip? THE HEAD OF IMGFLIP?!?! Lol, you really think a KID like me could ACTUALLY do that? JUST because you see their memes in THE MIDDLE SCHOOL STREAM get front page? I'm actually done here. Just, no.

Not just because of middle school, Because you post the most cringey crappy memes and get second page, same thing with middle school stream, you have never EVER Known to be un-popular, you dont know the struggles, but everythings fine in imgflip right? I NEVER F**KING MADE POPULAR USER PRIVELEGE, IT EXISTED SINCE THE BEGINNING OF IMGFLIP

LOL
All hail the head of imgflip XD

Just ignore him. He's not worth your time honestly. No amount of actual thinking or evidence is going to change him.

He LITERALLY INVENTED SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT

lol, true XD
Honestly though, you're not changing his mind, it's not worth your time

Yeah I'm singing

*DONE! IM DONE!

LOL

XDD

1. To help end some of the major conflicts on imgflip, starting with the TikTok wars. I will try to take as much of a neutral stance on it as possible and making an effort to organize peace between all of those streams out there that are involved with the war.
2. Democrat.
3. Not yet, I am looking for a VP who shares my views. I am not so worried about party affiliation, but I don’t want someone who completely opposes my affiliation.
4. Fairness.
5. I want to take a neutral stance.
6. Minecraft is awesome!
7. I think that COVID is definitely a big problem. I think that we should have taken much more precautions much earlier on.
8. I believe that upvote beggars are a problem, but only when they do it outside of designated streams. It is not as big of a problem as some people make it, though. It really isn’t a big deal.
9. Capitalism.
10. I don’t really believe in a “best stream”. they are all good in their own ways.
11. Just ignore/ block them, don’t feed the fire. Worst case scenario: contact a global mod.
12. I believe “popular user privilege” is a thing, but it isn’t as big as people make it.
13. I believe I am the best candidate because I have a strong platform, I have a plan, and I have a motive.

1. handy manny will come back. i'll just have to take bob the builder off air
2. repub
3. i don't have a VP. if i did have one it would probably be asdfperson
4. animal crossing laws ( you should already know this )
5. it's almost banned so i don't care
6. they're ok in my book
7. idk
8. no, they just want some upvotes
9. о да, коммунизм
10. middle school stream
11. no and yes. if people are stupid and angry enough to think of things like “popular user privilege” then that's them
12. DO BE DO BE DO BA

1)I'll try to make sure nobody gets harrased because of their opinion

2)Democrat

3)I'm not 100% sure if I have a vp or not. I forgot.

4)equality

5)tik tok just needs better users, that's all

6)they're pretty cool

7)it's really deadly and needs to commit aliven't straight away

8)Upvote beggars aren't too big of a problem, but they sometimes don't deserve the upvotes.

9)Communism

10)All the appropriate streams

11)try to show them the light and use roasting as plan B

12)Yes, actually. It is a problem

13)I try to do the best I can to help imgflip and treat everyone equally. Except for Mason, he's impossible to talk to. And I'm on a lot.

1. My main goal is just to stop or at least slow down the harassment. I want to make everyone feel welcome, and not be constantly harassed.

2. Republican. 100%

3. My VP is zero. I chose him because he is a great friend of mine, and he was already running for VP.

4. Fairness

5. See, I don't like TikTok, but I don't harass TikTok users

6. Minecraft is awesome. Period.

7. I don't believe that covid is as big as we think it is. Most of the deaths are from other sicknesses that the hospital changed to covid.

8. uPvOtE beggars aren't a problem. Just downvote, and move on with your day.

9. Capitalism. Commie scum

10. Cursed comments. Don't even try to change my mind.

11. Probably to report it to a sitewide mod, or get friends to help you out. Or block the person.

12. No. I don't think it exists, and the popular users get so many front pagers, because they make good memes.

13. Because, I will try my best to slow down cyber bullying, and if I don't win, I hope artic_creeper, or trainwatcher-nico win.

not voting for you because of what you said about covid

Bro, so because I believe that covid deaths are WAY less than what they are you aren't voting for me? That's like not voting for someone just because they are black

Thats called racism not voting someone just because they are black, im not voting for you because of your complete lack of understanding for covid

Ahem. Covid we have to be quarantined, wear masks, social distance, when there were WAY more serious diseases in the past where we took no precautions, and the disease was WAY more deadly. The reason covid is huge is because of social media. They WANT you to be afraid. It helps their ratings. They don't care about people, they care about ratings

WOW, so 21.6 million people just got covid and nothing happened

Yeah, no. 21.6 million people did not get covid. Not even close. And how many died if that is true? 1 million. You have a 1 in 21.6 chance of dying from covid. I like the odds

Check again you idiot, idiots like you is why we have the most cases

https://news.google.com/covid19/map?hl=en-US&mid=/m/0k3k1&gl=US&ceid=US:en

Wow. Idiot. I'm so hurt. Wow. Good insult.

Was i trying?

You REALLY believe 21.6 million people died? HOW GULLIBLE ARE YOU?!

I said 21.6 MILLION PEOPLE GOT COVID YOU RETARD

No, they didn't. Around 1 million actually did. Around 150,000 (estimating) actually died. And they were all boomers

Are you retarded? Do you have a mental illness? I said 21.6 MILLION PEOPLE GOT TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID, DO YOU HAVE A BRAIN? CAN YOU READ

1 million people died

Name one disease that we took less precautions. name one

Sars. Bird flu. Bubonic plague. Spanish flu. Want me to continue?

This is 2020, not 1918

You told me to name diseases we took less precautions for. And the reason covid is so huge is social media. They spread wrongful information. I don't trust the news and anything like that

Do you live in a rock? The only people spreading wrongful information is you,

Ok, listen. Covid has the same symptoms of, cancer, the seasonal flu, a cold, Spanish flu

Spanish flu killed 50 million, idiot, thats why we social distanced, wore masks, etc, and this is 2020

I'm ending this right here. Covid is deadly, but not as deadly as you think

Wrong, wrong, wrong, its more deadly then you think

Can we just end this here?

Not until you take precautions on covid, just because you have a low chance of dying, does that mean that you shouldnt care about it?

No, I just put my shirt over my mouth around people

Did you even read the article? and also heres one

https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/493144227944164932/

Ok, we don't take precautions against WAY DEADLIER diseases. Just washing our hands. And I don't even wear a mask anyway

Duh, because covid was born 8 months ago, if you didnt notice, we have a vaccine to the flu, cures to the flu, etc

Ok, I'm not talking about the seasonal flu. I'm an anti masker, due to severe asthma.

https://community.aafa.org/blog/what-people-with-asthma-need-to-know-about-face-masks-and-coverings-during-the-covid-19-pandemic

No, like I can't wear a mask. If I have it on for 5 minutes I start having an asthma attack. I just put my shirt over my nose and move on with my day

Get a mask that is light and does not affect the breathing much

No, I'm not reading the articles. My phone internet is REALLY slow, and it will be even slower if I go on it. My phone is weird like that

More excuses like always Bart_Simpson

Stop calling me that please. I'm not bart_simpson

Wow, your not, thats a fecking lie, Bart_Simpson said they had asthma, you say you have asthma, bart_simpson was a republican, you are a republican,

I WAS bart_simpson. Not anymore

They didn't wear masks and social distance.

Right there, and you are saying *It was ussless to social distance and wear masks *

You are telling me lies, and you expect me to believe them.

Really, im telling you lies, IM telling you facts idiot, and you just want to ignore them because you want to go outside, do you know how many people wouldve died if we didnt social distance, wear masks etc? Probobly hundreds of millions

What are you? Stupid? Thats prejudice, racism, bigotory, and more if i dont vote for you only because you are black, im not voting for you because you dont take covid seriously

So, I have a belief, and you aren't voting for me. I may have used the wrong example, but you should get my idea

Wow, so if a president has the belief that children should not get vaccines, and doctors dont vote for them, they are biased?

Yeah, nope. Doctors actually say that covid is over exaggerated

Who? WHO? WHO? Dr anthony fauci? No, he does not, and you do know 37 million suffer from lung conditions in the us

Yes, why?

Becuase covid kills most people with lung conditions

Yeah, and boomers, and babies

No you retard, it could kill everyone, nobody is immune to this disease unless you have a special condition

Bet. Lemme go out and get covid real quick. Brb

Wow, how selfish, you know you have a low chance of dying, so you dont care about covid, such a selfish person, Bart_Simpson

Ok roddy_ricch

Ok selfish bart_Simpson

Shoosh. I am train.

You shoosh uneducated anti vaxxer

I'm not an anti vaxxer

Well, you aren't a doctor. You are some fatass kid on imgflip

Wow, you name yourself after a simpsons charicter, are an covid idiot, and im an idiot? Just wow, also fun fact, my parents are doctors, they know way more then you will ever

My grandma was a doctor, my mom worked at a doctors office, my friend's mom is a nurse, I've literally had schooling on medication stuff

Then you would know covid is the biggest threat to this country since world war II, and treat it seriously

*Nicø. Has entered the chat*

You name yourself after a rapper, are GULLIBLE AS HELL, and wow. You have a couple parents that are doctors. So impressive

And if someone is anti vaxx, they are retarded

You have my vote

Yay

I mean you two ARE my best friends(and well...)

Yeah

1) My top priority is to unite imgflip together. We have been divided for too long, and I believe that we can stop this. More on q.13
2) Democrat
3) I do not have a vp, and I have a post in this stream asking for vp applications. I would like a VP that is going to stop arguing, and make sure
4) Fairness, because fair is different from equal. Equal means everyone gets the same thing, and that's not necessarily fair.
5) I don't like TikTok myself, but people can have their own interests and disinterests. There is strong information out there that says that we should not use it as it compromises our personal information, so I think we should take that away. A TikTok-like website (without the spyware from China) would benefit others, even if you didn't like that.
6) Minecraft is just a game, and it seems unfair that people are being attacked for liking something that they enjoy. It seems too unfair that we should discriminate.
7) I think that a national plan to take down COVID-19 is needed, and it is still a threat. As we begin to send kids back to school, we should wear a mask, keep distance, and wash our hands.
8) There is a place where upvote begging can be done, but we should respect that it can annoy others. It is ok in the begging_for_upvotes stream, but when it is posted elsewhere purposely, that is when it crosses a line.
9) Capitalism
10) That is tough, but I would have to go with Middle-School.
11) The best way to deal with it is to have places where people can seek refuge, inform others on the issue, and work together to track down those cyberbullies and reform them. I believe in reformation, not punishment.
12) When I was starting out, I found it extremely hard to rise and have memes getting tens of thousands of views (it has only happened with one post of mine) but as I began to post on more streams, I became more popular. I think that finding streams tailored to your interest should be a lot easier, and more people should be welcoming. Many people only see the main six streams when they start, but those are broad, not tailored to people's interests and harder to make friends on.
13) One bad divide is the Politics (conservative) and PoliticsTOO (liberal) streams, and they regularly attack each other and post things attacking the other, and other divides. We should have places where people can coexist, and have informed conversations rather than arguments.
Thank you for this opporunity.
