(There is a TLDR at the end of the message if you are lazy)
Well, let's see:
There are roughly 10,000 frequently online people on here
Let's be generous and say 3000 of them choose to have custom backgrounds.
Then, we'd need a minimum of 100 mods ( and they all must be full grown adults) to keep up with demand.
Now, let's say all the mods work 4 hours a day, for $5/hour (again, being generous).
4×5=20, basic math, so $20 for a session for these guys.
Let's say the workers are split into 6 sections, one section for each 4 hour section of the day.
Now already, you need mods with a bunch of different timezones.
But let's say you still go for this, you find 100 people, cool cool.
100 × 20 is already $2000 every. f**king. day.
Now let's be a little reasonable here. Pretend that a few weeks after the feature, everyone who wanted it has it (which is unrealistic, but we'll pretend it's realistic), and the demand is a lot lower.
So now, 75% of the mods are allowed to quit and they leave, now we have 25 mods.
That would still be $500 a day.
Now to sum it up, let's say that we need the 100 mods for the first 2 weeks. That would make 2000 × 14, 28,000.
Now for a month after this it's only $500 a day.
500×30 (rough amount of days in each month) is another 15,000.
Put those together, 43k for such a small feature.

TL ; DR:
If we do all the math necessary and use estimates, it will take around $43,000 USD to pay the mods just for the first month and a half, and $15000 for the following months. So yeah, cool suggestion, but I doubt Imgflip will be willing to pay that much for a tiny feature.

I can't trust what you say about your age at this point, you've gone from 14 to 22 to 15 to 17

And also, what the f**k do you mean?
You abused MSMG owner, and got it back later.
You abused it again, got it back some time later.
You abused it A THIRD TIME, and you haven't gotten it since.

Now a possible solution for this would not be hiring mods for this, but to have users report inappropriate PFPs to existing mods.
That is definitely an honour system, first of all. This isn't the second grade. Not everyone follows those types of systems.
Second, what if a bunch of alts with innaproppriatte PFPs spam a stream with seemingly normal memes. Let's say someone extremely sensitive to graphic content clicks on one of these accounts that happens to have a PFP that is the result of a beheading. Yeah, that's not gonna end so hot.
So this is really the only solution to the problem I could think of, and it has its cons. So I would like to hear other people's thoughts on this.
