pretty sure you could just directly message a global mod

You can, but if you’re arguing with some who breaks the TOS and they see you doing this, they quickly delete everything and accuse the user of either photoshopping or inspecting their comments. Ran into this situation with another user here once and I was the one who got temp banned for 8 hours. Before the whole argument, I had already told the Crusaders of the situation and provided links before they deleted everything. The result was them accusing me of photoshopping evidence and using inspect because I took screenshots while on my phone and provided them to the crusaders and global mods. They then launched a libel campaign on me and of course I’m the one banned for harassment. I will admit, towards the end when there was no point in continuing it, it did become harassment for a little bit, so the ban was pretty much deserved, but the other account got nothing but a slap on the wrist because they deleted everything and then changed their username on top of it to lie about who they were (it was a bad attempt, I think he forgot you could still see the prior username) before deleting their account altogether. If I had to guess, their probably still on the site but they just created a new account so no one knows who they were.

Using internet archive while the argument us still going could be helpful tbh then, since its a direct url copypaster

Because there isn’t a report function, this resulted in a lot of crazy arguments where the global moderators can’t do anything because everything gets deleted after. This also was a large factor of the huge stream wars in 2019-2020 where large numbers of users were fighting each other over not liking the other streams members and resulted in streams that police other streams being created, The Crusader stream is one example where if they see heresy (someone posting near nsfw but not technically nsfw images, which is what I reported one of their own members for which resulted in the situation in my previous comment where both sides were harassing each other) they jump on them and harass the user for a little while. Another example is both the anti-furry-society and furries stream members “spying” on the other stream and looking for ways to “raid” them (which I’ve requested that the furries stream stop doing it and stop posting low effort memes against anti-furries for it). Anti-furry streams are allowed here but they are banned on Reddit now for encouraging violence and killing people when someone sees a furry. This is most likely a result of the influx of new users on to the site who aren’t scared of the repercussions if they get caught doing this, and why should they? The global mods don’t do anything to stop this type of behavior of raiding streams and in some cases, encourage it.

I know, but it would be much easier to report the user without them knowing you’re talking to the global mods about them breaking the TOS.

How to repost

This should be a function and it’s not, I’ve said this already. People make dumb arguments on “oh people will target the anti-furries or other anti-[insert group name here] users who just want a community to feel safe!” Like bitch, the whole reason it should be there is for the GLOBAL ADMINS AND MODERATORS to review THE USER’S ACCOUNT FOR BREAKING THE TOS and then ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING rather than COMPLAIN THAT NO EVIDENCE WAS PRESENTED BECAUSE THE USER DELETED EVERYTHING BECAUSE THEY SAW THE OTHER USER TALKING WITH A GLOBAL MOD. The report button should already exist but it doesn’t because I think it’s because they don’t want to do “extra work” they’re supposed to be doing in the first place, it also could be their mod team is too small. In any case, at least you can actually talk to the mods here.

jesus christ dude
calm down
it legit exists already
flag>abuse
or request image removal
or feedback
or email general
or msg sitemod

Flags only work for specific comments and images, if any mod sees you flagged someone’s comments too many times, they’ll ignore it thinking you hate them. Flag spamming, even when justified, is largely ignored. This would mainly be used to report large scale harassment (jumping from image to image and stream to stream to harass a user or multiple users).

see notice how i mentioned 4 other methods of reporting that you apparently cannot see

Sir, not everything happens on MSMG, I know you guys over there think it does (or at least the site mods do). Request image removal only takes images down, often with no other punishment when there should be. It’s also more difficult than most sites to find request image removal. Most social media has the regular report button for individual posts and comments and a user report button for continued TOS breaking. It’s common practice to have both buttons. Why this website doesn’t have one is strange.

what this has to do with msmg i have zero idea
and yet again, you ignore multiple of my other solutions

Saw MSMG, didn’t see sitemods, my bad. I’m any case, I’ll repeat the main issue.

1. If the person breaking the TOS see’s you’ve reported them to a site mod, they will attempt to delete all evidence, which usually makes the site mods punish you. Site mods usually take forever to respond unless you get lucky, which allows time for the user to delete everything and frame you. You wouldn’t believe the number of users that do that. I know memechat is a thing now but most people do not know how to use it, further more it only shows the last 15-20 messages sent, which makes talking to them difficult if they forget something.

2. Most flagged images are handled by stream mods, which are usually biased towards friends long time stream users, I know because I’ve abused this before myself (the shit THP says would not fly in any stream other than MSMG by the way).

3. Feedback is downvotes and comments. This is the quickest way to get everyone’s attention if it’s in in a large stream, which if it’s between two small users, it only gets noticed half the time for 15 minutes tops. While downvotes don’t do anything because downvotes are just rarely used in general, comments are the major factor. The fight that usually ensues when this happens can get both users banned and is not usually needed and causes more stress than there needs to be. If big enough, site mods will respond fairly quickly AS LONG AS someone reports it to them. This can result in a situation 1 scenario or the fight can continue for much longer than it’s needed.

4. Request image removal only works on images, is somewhat difficult to find, and usually just a slap on the wrist if any punishment at all. If you’re trying to report a user, this is probably the longest way to go next to emailing people and MCing a site mod. Emailing people is an issue as well because not only do you have to email the owner of imgflip, it’s also embarrassing and they don’t seem to care. Request image removal and emailing are the worst ways to report a user. The best way currently is to MC a global mod, which can take time.

1. memechat isn't an obscure concept, that's just incorrect. it's a well known, easy to use feature. also.. take screenshots? screen record? preserve the evidence so it cannot be deleted

2. you mention certain things being allowed in certain streams, which is correct, but that's only a portion of naughty images. if you think an image breaks ToS but is allowed in the stream, again, screenshot and dm sitemod

3. that is not what i'm referring to by "feedback", i'm referring to the tab that says "Feedback on the left of your screen

4. i'll admit i was stretching it when suggesting you e-mail general, i am sorry for that one. also, request image removal isn't exactly difficult to find (scroll down or use Ctrl+F). the punishment for request image removal would be equivalent to any other method of reporting, imgflip tends to be very lax with rules in the context of images

yes messaging a sitemod is slow, but how would a report button change this? the response time would be near identical, it's the same team of 7 sitemods on this "report" feature as the 7 sitemods that you can message

1. I’ve taken screenshots. The other person can usually just say “it’s photoshopped!” Or “you used inspect that’s not what I said!” As a defense. It works very well. I ended up being banned fir 8 hours because of that claim. I am telling you what I have previously experienced.

2. I’m on mobile, I do not see a feedback button on the left hand side of the screen. This might just be an issue with mobile I do not know.

3. Your right, I said most people do not know how to use MC and I missed it when skimming over the argument again to make sure everything was correct, that is my fault, I meant emailing because only the site owner’s email is readily available. Memechat’s main issue is you can only see the last 20 messages in the group total, sometimes making it hard to communicate if they forget.

1. screen record yourself refreshing the page

2. it's at the bottom of the page, check the attached image

3. a memechat report conversation wouldn't go beyond 10-15 messages in most circimstances
