No more anonymous submissions to this stream going forward.

lol so true

Good. Anonymous memes, especially in Politics, always annoyed me. If you're that ashamed of your beliefs, don't post it. And isn't everyone kind of anonymous on here, anyway? I mean, unless you shared a photo of yourself and give out all your personal info, we're all just hiding behind a fake username, of which we're capable of changing every 30 days.

For sure it's a good setting for m/politics and it's now available for every stream owner to use as they see fit.

I think a lot of new users used to submit to the fun stream that way over the years, nothing sinister or malicious about most of those, just as a way to test the waters here.

Since I started out with a few that way when I was new here, I'm kind of nostalgic about the old Imgflip. It's another change away from that place.

I'll say there were more than a few users that abused the anonymous option in the fun stream, so overall I agree it's better this way.

Wait, we don't have to use our real names here? DAMN!
(there are those who poke fun of mine as if I was given it by mommy & daddy)

what happened to everyone’s follower count?

The way the number of followers is being counted was revised, deleted and banned accounts are no longer included.

I'm sad!

Everyone is upset about it..

i thought so

Last month mine went from 58 to 53 then remained there a week or two till suddenly hitting 58 then 69 in one day, and then hitting 100 the next, staying there for weeks tll tapping 101 last week then back down to 33. Was there a glitch? Nearly doubling to 100 over 2 days?

This probs our Nazi friend again

IG wait for more confirmation but just so you’re aware

Thanks. Each account stands on their own, so past conduct of a deleted account is now irrelevant.

There was definitely some conduct that was over the line, but not everything that account did was verboten.

I'm keeping an eye on Velehk. Hopefully it's a new day and there will be no need for Moderator action.

KylieFan AKA Kamikakee is the instigator behind Entcrapta and the rest of the kiddiez.

Alright alright alright let’s address this real quick

Peace_On_ImgFlip: Not my idea

DamnAdults: Also not my idea (according to stream founder, was a response to DamnKids, and this is true. The war ended thanks to a unilateral declaration of peace by the kids, not by the adults who more typically obtusely denied that a war even existed)

ANTI-JEFFREYSTONEAR: Also not my idea (and curiously, this stream has apparently since been deleted, which I believe is a HUUUUUGE mistake UNLESS the Site Mods have finally resolved to permanently ban Jeff, though I haven’t heard that myself)

Dang! That’s a lot of ideas I didn’t have!

I joined these streams because I believed in them. I hope I helped flesh them out a bit.

I didn’t join the anti-TikTok war and several other kiddo trends I’ve seen because they didn’t really appeal to me, so no, I’m just not into riding bandwagons for the sake of popularity.

Believe it or not kids are capable of having original thoughts about ImgFlip and adults are capable of agreeing with them and even helping implement them

Now, since we’re on the subject

Who would you say is the “instigator” behind the ImgFlip adults?

Hint: Look in the mirror and you’ll find one

tl;dr

Eyyyy

Short enough?

Gaagh, you are so cutting

a fart

Now is it my turn to loudly point out how I didn’t laugh at yours

Is that how this works

How Harvey describes banging Kylie:
4f05b8.gif (click to show)

that's fair, especially for first-time violations folks should receive explanations of how their conduct violated TOS and be given a second chance.

third & fourth & fifth chances tho? when there's a clear pattern of misconduct, certain ID, and many missed opportunities at reform, it's justifiable for Mods to lose patience.

all the cowards have nowhere to hide now, good move

Ey bro this shit is not okay

imgflip.com/i/4hua47

Look at all the kids on this thread going to this meme with complaints of cyberbullying and being exposed to this crap cause he’s a community Mod

It’s gone way too far

You need to tell him to calm down

It's problematic and NOT OKAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Child Army, still recruiting

Who led the Child Crusade again? Peter the Hermit?

No clue. Medieval history was never my forte. Ancient history and recent history are much more interesting IMO.

Grow up, you silly twit.

Yeah I'm gonna be submitting a lot more to KMS now. Thanks for the lols, Trev!

Sorry for bugging you so much but ey

Relentless troll of PoliticsTOO threatens to have me “banned by a site Admin” for deleting his commentary that pretty much never amounts to anything other than careless casual insults

Figured it was a bluff but ya never know so just thought I’d check

(TBH I don’t care all that much, but the Stream Owner wants us to be harsher on trolls as the election nears, and I intend to do my duty to help fulfill his vision)

Thanks, I read all the comments I get about what's going on here and there, I just don't reply to them all or take action on everything I read about. Keep them coming if you like.

PoliticsTOO Stream Owner(s) make the rules there, y'all can maintain those moderating standards as the Owner(s) see fit. I've had the pleasure of a few of my images being disapproved there, not sure maybe also a comment or two, that's just how it goes.

I have occasionally seen action taken against users for their content in user created streams that was against the Terms of Use, but I haven't seen anything in politics TOO that would make me think twice.

https://imgflip.com/i/4ijd1y i disproved it but i dont think he is joking

good call m8

Neo-Nazi: an all-but-outright admitted one.

Do "Neo Nazis" not have the freedom of speech as the rest of us (those that live in the US)? I hate "woke" progressive douches, but they have every right to spew their ignorance as everyone else does. You're against freedom of speech, aren't you? Or is it only for those who you agree with?

Rather, it is better to say that ImgFlip has the same freedom of speech rights with respect to both Neo-Nazis and woke progressive douches like myself

I.e. no obligation at all to host either of our content, as neither one of us can compel ImgFlip to speak on our behalf

So, if ImgFlip wants to permit douchey progressives like myself while banning those who want to establish the Fourth Reich, that is their prerogative

All of which is to say

The questions you ask are above my pay grade, chief

I haven't seen any of this user's comments, so I can't fully say whether he's inciting violence or not, but progressives such as yourself tend not to have a great track record of supporting free speech if it goes against anything they believe. I mean, Keith Olbermann stated all Trump supporters should be silenced and made to disappear (in not so many words, as I am paraphrasing it). He isn't "the fringe" of the left, he IS the left and share the same ideals as the left. The left is unamerican and believe the Constitution should be changed to fit their agenda, like FREE SPEECH meaning EVERYONE has the right to their opinion, including those who speak hate. So long as it doesn't incite violence against others.

I find the “as long as it doesn’t incite violence” standard is a bit too loose and ill-equipped to deal with the latest troll technology

For instance this guy (and you’ll have to take my word for it) thought he was being clever and complying with TOS by stopping juuuuuust short of outright condemning Jews and homosexuals, and threatening me only obtusely

Still doesn’t mean ImgFlip has to permit a guy spamming pro-Hitler memes, claiming Richard Spencer is too vanilla, and bragging about being a part of a “NatSoc” movement in America allegedly 22 million strong

And that was just from 1 thread, I saw plenty others where he crossed the line before I really went after him today

Like you said, I'll have to take your word he was doing what you claimed since I haven't seen anything or even seen his name.

He was new and not a big user; had about 50,000 points as I recall

I still saw him get into several fights with LGBTQ memers prior to today, with a healthy dose of memes in the GeorgeMonger-wheelhouse, emphasis on the Adolf

But he’s back already so we’ll see

Thank u for bein a friend

LOL unfeatured from ImgFlip without explanation for “harassment,” despite helping lead to a Nazi being yeeted off the site

Who did this and porque

Direct threat of violence

Dumbo here tangentially slandering ImgFlippers in general with accusations of pedophilia not to mention site Mods for allegedly failing to deal with it

Probably not enough to support action but just so you’re aware

QAnon ImgFlip edition right here

Oh yeah almost forgot: He accused me of being “one of them” too lol

So lazily that it barely registered but it happen
