I would like to see a couple of examples of incorrect template usage, and too many unnecessary transparent images and labels. If I’m doing something ridiculous—I need to know, so I can fix it.

Sure!

Here's the classic crappy new user meme. It uses the "one does not simply...x" format wrong, and adds unecessary (screw correct spelling) captions/transparent images. Post that image to the politics stream, and you have your average annoying new user.

Thanks for the clarification. Just saw your other stream too. I’m seeing a lot of watermarked images—which would be a good example for that stream. Isn’t this a TOS violation?

Roger that. Just texted leBoyfriend and asked if I could have it tonight, since he’s going to make me lock up my tech for the weekend. (uh!) He said yes. So, I should be able to get the file tonight. See u in a bit.

most users that have been on imgflip for at least a few months, like you, have gotten the hang of it. But it seems as the age of the user (judging by their comments and other actions) gets lower, the less they follow classic imgflip norms.

It does take a while to learn the ropes. I’m still picking up tidbits here and there. Hopefully, the stream housing the “what no to do’s” will help those who are open to learning. : ) Imgshit isn’t a very constructive name though. Lol!

It annoys me so much when people do not upvote comments that they reply 2, raydog taught me that ;)

yeah a lot of users, me included, learned some etiquette from the OG imgflippers

Yea

Why?

I’d question this one.

Because people take advantage of this by just replying to every single comment they get for seemingly no reason. Like who_am_i or wintersoldier23

Why not reply to comments though?
3 ups, 4y,

Because most of the time, you have nothing of value to say except for just “lol,” “XD,” or “ikr.”
Especially when the comment you’re replying to also just says “lol,” “XD,” or “ikr.”

You have a point, but if I want to reply to comments then I think it’s alright if I do.

Well of course you can reply to whoever you want to whenever. I was just using it as a premise for my questioning of Imgflip etiquette.

I see your point. Of course there's users that take advantage of stuff like that, but simply upvoting another user's comment and them upvoting yours when you're just having a normal convo is different from upvoting every comment on a meme you post and replying with a gif, even if the user just says something like "yeet".
