The amount of spam on Imgflip is too damn high. If you agree, what are your ideas to help combat spam.

remember gorthaur. He threatened to send nude pics if he got any notifs from me. Here is the proof.

(I already said this before but I just thought I would put it here)

I think we should allow image owners to delete comments on their memes.
It might be abused though idk

Thanks I've seen that suggestion before, it might help. I agree that some users might abuse that though.

For now, users responsibly flagging spam comments (and other comments against the Terms of Use) is our best defense. A lot of comments that get flagged really aren't against the terms, it's up to the Moderators of a particular stream to take action from there if it's the right thing to do.

In the future, AI may help out by blocking more spam comments.

Before you joined, there was a wave of spambots that would hit the fun page with "check out my smexy pix link here" or "Make $52374 a week by clicking this link". Imgflip won that battle but now the spam epidemic is coming from within...

I mean, we could have an entirely new option other than "flag delete reply" maybe we should have a new option "Mark as spam" I know this is also what flagging comments is for but this could help to sort it out.

Interesting idea.

Like the options in the Image flag? Right now it's only flag a comment because you are sure it violates the Terms. The only option to add would be for NSFW comments.

I think a comment flag option for NSFW would be needed if Imgflip ever filters NSFW comments on SFW image pages.

If that was deployed, enough NSFW comment flags by users could help automatically hide those comments from users only looking at SFW images.

"Like the options in the Image flag?"

Possibly a drop-down menu asking what to flag the comment for whether it be spam a NSFW comment etc.

"...NSFW would be needed if Imgflip ever filters NSFW comments on SFW image pages." Agreed sometimes I go to an image and look at the comments and I see some REALLY weird stuff, Maybe it could work as a click to show things similar to blocked comments low-rated comments, etc.

My comment was worded poorly sorry

Simple they should not be able to Upvote or comment and other people should be allowed to make memes on their profile for 1 day. That will probably be good enough to permanently end spamming due to it being very extreme. So how does that sound.

I think spammers should get the new user comment timer until they prove they won't spam

Wdym?

like they would have a tier forever till they prove to a mod that they will never spam again?

Until their comment reputation Improves. There used to be a comment timer for everyone that made conversation really hard

Oh, i see what you mean now

What about my other idea....

let me grab the link

Some person posted a link on the Jake Paul clown meme to the Roblox Among Us Minecraft and Fortnite meme

If you spam you should not be able to Upvote and someone should be allowed to make memes on their account (all credit goes to me since I made this idea).
