So sez the guy who spams empty templates to numerous streams to game the system for points. Ironic!

The reposter complaining about reposts. How ironic...

Are reposts allowed in the politics stream?

Bringing out that nasty old meanie Putin just for you ;)

If reposts weren't allowed, you would have a lot more images getting disapproved.

Are reposts allowed in the politics stream?

Did you not read the comment?

I know where reposts are allowed and where they're not

Do you?

Does OP memer?

Pretty sure I've seen some content from you in the politics section on par with the meme here that you deem as a repost. Let's take a look, shall we?

https://imgflip.com/i/4i8640 No text added, only one template added to the bottom

https://imgflip.com/i/4i846a No text or images added; purely a repost

https://imgflip.com/i/4i6aaw Advertising, violation of Imgflip TOS

https://imgflip.com/i/4i506s No text or images added; purely a repost

https://imgflip.com/i/4i355k Another pure repost

https://imgflip.com/i/4hyqmc Another pure repost

https://imgflip.com/i/4hwhu8 ANOTHER pure repost

https://imgflip.com/i/4huak2 Another one

https://imgflip.com/i/4hssk2 Another one

https://imgflip.com/i/4hr09e Another one

https://imgflip.com/i/4hr0ci Another one

https://imgflip.com/i/4hkisy Another one, also advertising

https://imgflip.com/i/4healr Another one

https://imgflip.com/i/4hebbn Another one

And that's just from the past week. Imgflip has in fact take action against reposts in the politics stream, so these posts would not be an exception and we are allowed to take action against them in the future.

Here’s where we talked about “advertising” on ImgFlip

That's Kate, not acuity. The Globals have a much stricter standard for what's allowed in the politics stream. Advertising your stream is not one of them.

I thought it was acuity12, by bad.

Anywho: If you want to link a Global here to explain why myself and KTG and 21 other memers who upvoted this idea on the ImgFlip stream are wrong about the advertising thing, feel free

But I’m afraid I can’t take you at your word because you’re just biased against me and evidence of that is everywhere.

Those are not “reposts” — i.e. content created by someone else — they’re original memes by me, posted to both politics and PoliticsTOO or another related political stream, i.e. cross-posts.

I have never been told that cross-posting is disallowed — on any stream on ImgFlip, frankly.

I disagree that “advertising” other ImgFlip content on ImgFlip is a TOS violation. acuity12 agreed with me the other day. (Subject to stream Mods’ own prerogatives, of course.)

All your effort here is a big fat whiff

Looking at acuity's comments over the past 4 weeks, I'm not seeing this comment, so you're gonna have to share the link to that.

Any image taken from anywhere else on the internet including Imgflip submitted without any sort of visible change (ie. something listed in the stream description like text or images added) is a repost, even if you're reposting it from yourself. Some streams allow for you to repost images, hence why cross posting is tolerated. Politics is not one of those streams, hence why reposts get taken down there. Here are the guidelines Imgflip has posted regarding reposts.

No reposts
Use your creativity to make something new and awesome! Moderators will try to disapprove obvious reposts and plagiarization. Rather than directly copy-pasting an image or meme text that someone else created, try to put your own unique spin on the idea! If you simply submit an image without adding your own unique text, drawing, or stitching it together with other images, then it will likely be disapproved.
Here are some examples:

OK: Posting an image you created yourself with image manipulation software other than Imgflip
OK: Posting an image using text you borrowed entirely from someone else but added to a different image than the original
NOT OK: Posting the exact same image (same text/additions/etc.) to the same stream more than once
NOT OK: Posting an image that contains text or other additions, none of which you added yourself
NOT OK: Adding irrelevant text like "yup" or "lol" or "." just to make an image different from the original

Hope this helps

Once again, I think you’re playing fast and loose with the definition of “repost” here.

I have always understood the essence of a “repost” to be content created ***by someone else***, and this explanation (which you yourself also posted) confirms that.

When I repost someone else’s content, I tag it with “repost,” and/or indicate repost in the image description, so everyone can know.

Now: If I create an *original* meme that’s relevant to both politics and PoliticsTOO, will I post in both streams? You bet — Subject to the 2-post-per-day limit in politics, which keeps a large amount of my content from ever seeing the light of day of this stream.

Why would I do this? Not everyone is an all-seeing guru of ImgFlip like yourself, or a hawklike watcher of my account like SydneyB or VagabondSouffle. People follow different streams.

There are liberals who follow PoliticsTOO and don’t follow politics, and I know a few liberals who actually do follow politics and don’t follow PoliticsTOO. And there are certainly conservatives who don’t follow PoliticsTOO.

I think it’s disingenuous to expect me or anyone else to create brand new memes from scratch every time if they want to participate in both streams.

Now

The OP memer’s collage, the meat and potatoes of this meme we’re supposed to be talking about, was pretty obviously created by someone else

Was his addition of a bit of text enough alternation to allow it to fly in “politics”? Apparently so. (I would contend that my two custom Dr. Fauci reaction memes which I created today and posted at the bottom of a timely news article evidences more creativity than that)

It’s still borderline, and I was right to draw attention to it and call it out.

And that means what exactly? Besides highlighting you're a pathetic crybaby loser?

Chances are it means anything to non snowflakes: 0️⃣

Only thing strong about her is her stench, cuckboy.

Didn't look at it but its funny that you post this. thegatewaypundit is one of the fakest sources of conservative crap and conspiracy theories that there is. Simply the fact that you post something from them shows how brainwashed you are. Its hysterical and pathetic at the same time. And exactly what Americans expect from the Party of tRUMPf.
