in the very best scenario if this passes, global mods will just constantly be interfering with the stream.

So your excuse is not to do anything because the hammer might fall on you for Peacefully Protesting.

this law, in the best scenario, will result in only MORE censorship. that’s not my excuse that’s just the facts.

if you want to propose tos changes, talk to the mods or the owner. this won’t help anybody.

How will this law result in MORE censorship then?

And don't you think if We stood Together UNITED Peacefully that the changes could be made?

have you even talked with anybody in charge of the site? maybe you would find them more reasonable if you did that instead of jumping to a “peaceful” protest which allows harassment.

You know I'm not in favor of Harrassment and it doesn't ALLOW It.
2 ups, 3y,

but still, have you talked with someone in charge of the site prior to this?
0 ups, 3y
I have but it doesn't matter my Law doesn't break TOS it doesn't condone Harrassment it's just about Protecting User's against the Site and other User's of course.

I'm not talking about going after Anyone, I like Olympian and Andrew I don't know Dlyan or Kate the grate, Ser Donald and Acuity but id be willing to give them a go at friendship,
I'm just expressing a opinion through the power of meme about some issues the user's could have with the site and the Speech most likely nothing will come of it I know that,and even more likely everyone will get bored of it and forget about it but anyways.

i apologize, i read the image wrong. i thought it said harrasment and illegal speech are allowed. not the other way around.

admittedly, the tos is rather vague on what counts as harrasment or targeting. i’m actually trying to talk with kate the grate on what is targeting and what’s not.
0 ups, 3y
Personally I know it can be a vague thing sometimes ​so it's not necessarily an easy job, I don't Envy them.
0 ups, 3y
All I can say is anyone saying I support Harrassment ( NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU JUST IN GENERAL) should check my history, I don't comment on memes I don't like or agree with because I'd rather support memes I like and not pee on someone else's opinion because everyone has that right to an opinion whether I agree with it or not.

No thanks, I won't support a law that goes against TOS.

My Law has nothing to do with Harassing anyone MOD or not

Then what's the point? Ceremonial?

No,it's our voice, Because We can organize Peaceful Protest events to bring attention of Real Site abuse and more.

The TOS doesn't already allow that? What's the difference? I understand encouraging the behavior to report abuse, but why not just encourage it? What's the point of passing the law in the first place outside of just a ceremony?

Abuse From Site and User's.

How exactly do you expect Me to respond like this

"Violently and Breaking the TOS"

you'll just get banned and have no opportunity to change the mind of the Owner or Anyone else.

I think I understand that a user shouldn't be banned by a mod or owner without a fair trial, correct?
1 up, 3y
Of Course.

Does this protect things against TOS? If so, we'd get in trouble with global mods
0 ups, 3y,
1 reply
No,This is Dylan's site I have never or would never encourage someone to break His TOS
Whether I agree with all of it or not, but that doesn't mean we can't discuss it peacefully with the Sites Owner/Mods (if) We find something We think is Abuse from the Site itself.

1st: We have it investigated and if the investigator thinks it's abuse
2nd: We then look at it ourselves and decide if We think it's Abuse by a Vote on it, and if We think it's an Actual Mod/Site Abuse, then We politely talk to the Mod/Owner directly about it.

That's All.

Okay. What's an example of speech this stream has blocked that this would protect?
0 ups, 3y,

You the reader, will probably never agree with my positions on real world politics, but seeing the Censorship on Imgflip getting worse, (Through the site itself and private streams) I've come to a point and decided to start a Peaceful Movement of Free Speech on Imgflip with encouraging people to Stand for Their Rights with Peacefully and posting The First Amendment or just the Bill of Rights along with every comment made.

It may seem like a lot to ask but whether your on the left/right/center or any where else, the Freedom to express yourself is a right nobody can take away regardless of Stream owner or Site owner and together We Can Peacefully Make Imgflip a better site for All.

What an Argument...So your excuse is do nothing not even Peaceful Protest.
0 ups, 3y
Despite my differences with Some on Imgflip, I know the site can't function with infighting user's We must have an Opening of Dialogue before We tear the site apart
