Does this sound like a plan?

I don't think it should become a thing. Nobody forces anyone to delete their account. If you're not sure whether you want to come back or not, don't delete your account. I mean, I probably wouldn't notice a difference if it were to become possible to reactivate a deleted account so if it most people want it, fine... go ahead... I just don't think it's necessary and what's the point of deleting then anyway?

Eyyy question

If Roddy_Ricch agrees to take no action against harassment of me, then can the retaliation against him be reversed and he be restored to the status of a Mod of Everyone's_A_Mod?

If he still wants to be, that is.

I'll think about it

No, i deserve the 2-week ban from everyones a mod, maybe i should use the time to think about what i have done

Real recognize real

But we can spot the fake too 🤜🤛

What about the totally hypothetical situation of a memer who loses the keys to their ImgFlip account to a significant other and is now operating under a non-zero chance that said significant other will one day get fed up with his or her shit and decide to delete his or her account out of the blue

Asking for a friend

If the email used to set up that account is still intact and you know it, here's a handy link imgflip.com/forgot

It’s under her email address now.

And honestly I could snoop behind her back and get it back, but I just don’t want to. If I did that and she found out, there’d be hell to pay including a likely account deletion ultimatum.

I think the best I can do at this point is cross my fingers and hope for the best, and in the meantime use this alt account as a halfway house for detransitioning out of ImgFlip.

As much as I love you guys, my marriage is more important.

But aren't you technically going behind her back with this alt account? It seems you're spending about as much time doing the same things you were before.

It may not appear so to you, but my use of ImgFlip has fallen significantly.

Unfollowing “politics” and staying out of such arguments was the big thing. I’ve also turned my back on several of my own streams.

If it weren’t for this dumb JeffreyStone gimmick account and the Global Mods’ obtuseness about it, which has my blood boiling, I might have not come here at all the past couple days.

But I find I still like this website and want it to succeed and be a good place for the friends I’ve made here. Right now that means standing up to this JeffreyStone imposter.

Have you gone and talked to anyone about it as I suggested?

Final thought: Perhaps your post inspired me to “wear the pants” in the family after all!

(No, that would be ridiculous. I’m a good feminist which means women now get to rule everything.*

*Not actually what feminists think.)

Unreal.

I think, especially someone like you could start over and continue the spirit of your account without having to reinstate all the past. And everyone will still remember you and your contributions even with a new account - for proof see this alt account and the conversations we're having. And I don't believe you're in this for the points...

Yeah I don’t care about the points. And even if I did, I could build back up to where I was at in approximately

*checks watch*

Oh, about 8 months. If I memed like a maniac totally ignoring my wife’s wishes. Lol.

Anyway: I just thought of a simple solution to this problem, before the account delete button is pressed at least. To simply request the Global Mods deactivate the account delete feature for a specific account on the basis that the account is stolen or in jeopardy.

...and on that note, I’d like to go ahead and request that the account delete button be deactivated for KylieFan_89, if it’s possible. Lol.

i got a question, why does it say maga4life

I used to use this account to post breathtakingly stupid right-wing memes to “politics” stream just to see how they would do. See: Above.

Many of them did pretty well!

I deleted them all though so folks wouldn’t get confused.

But thanks to synthetic-Mantis, there’s now a stream for that; where digital MAGA-face and all other manner of flaming hot political takes and opinions are welcome and harassment is encouraged and expected:

imgflip.com/m/politics3

Enjoy

Yeah, leave it to a progressive liberal to create a stream that is intended to harass and belittle everyone that don't think the same way as you.

I just looked in there and I see it's filled with nothing but progressives. So it isn't any different than politicsTOO. So my question would be, "what's the point in creating a politics3?"

imgflip.com/m/politics3 is a stream for extremely sarcastic political memes specifically and it has no content moderation that I’m aware of. Conservatives could post there if they wanted I suppose, but it seems they have their own streams for that. It’s quite different in tone than PoliticsTOO. And I didn’t found it; that was synthetic-Mantis’s creation. Though I do love the concept and have contributed frequently. It doesn’t strike me as any different from conservative memes that ridicule the Left.

While we’re at it:

imgflip.com/m/Cringe_Hard is a stream for reaction memes where I do a variety of things from calling out dumb nonsense to supporting content I find worthwhile — a scrapbooking stream, basically. It’s about ideas and it’s not directed at anyone in particular. It’s plainly not harassment on its face; and if it is, ImgFlip has much bigger problems than that on this site it needs to address first.

imgflip.com/m/Cringe_Left is my counterpart stream for calling out dumb and violent Leftist nonsense specifically. Hardcore Leftist stuff: not the moderate Democratic content that ImgFlip right-wingers like to pretend is Leftist. It gets the least attention of all for reasons that remain mysterious.

oh ok, that makes sense, i believe its you know

I'm trying to see if OlympianProduct will restore you to the status of a Mod Everyone's_A_Mod, if you still want to be: See below.

I assume that would have to come at the price of you agreeing to not use your Mod powers for good: i.e. to take any action against harassment of me. A bitter pill to swallow, but I don't want to put you on the bad side of any of the so-called adults on this website.

I still have no idea how old you are, but your emotional maturity speaks for itself. Despite that, they're already painting you as a brainwashed teenager fighting my battles for me.

You and I know you brought this harassment issue to my attention without any prompting from me, but they won't see it that way.

Olympian said i can get it back if i dont cause any problems or shit in the next 2 weeks, which is why im gonna take a break from politics and debates for next two weeks unless its sports

Wow: and the campaign of bias and harassment of outspoken ImgFlip liberals continues

Doesn’t seem worth it to me, just to regain the status of a Mod of a stream that everyone should be entitled to Mod by its own definition, but you’ll make your own decisions.

I may not even be here by then.

Anyway: Thanks again for your support and sorry you got caught in the middle of this dumb dispute.

Don't care about the points yet posts the same pic - non captioned - on three streams at the same time and reposts them again two weeks later?

LOL @ asking for a friend.

What you have is technically a stolen account. Are there any measures in place to help with that?

And yes, I understand wrestling your main account back from your wife would not be a road to marital bliss.

I know ImgFlip can’t solve my marital problems (in fact, quite the opposite), but it’d still be nice to have some peace-of-mind to know 5 seconds of spousal rage won’t necessarily equate to 8+ months of lost work.

Maybe you should fix your personal life first then... Being here with a new account will probably not help your situation... 🙈

But working on my personal life is stressful, and I need meme time to destress.

So: an alt account which I use to post 5 memes a day instead of 50 is actually the perfect centrist solution for facilitating the difficult, complex, and drawn-out process of breaking up with ImgFlip that is #Kyliexit.

That’s what I tell myself, anyway

🙈 ok

It's a win-win really

If I fix my marriage, then I fix my marriage
If I don't, I get to make more memes

It's all good in the hood

So imgflip to you is on an equal plane with marriage? Yikes on a bike.

I’m not “above reproach,” but I will calmly explain why I think you’re wrong about all of this :)

Who is above reproach? This one.

Joking not joking

Honestly though: if you cared to compare KM with just about any other female pop star of the past several decades, you could do a whole lot worse for role models.

Her career has had a stunningly long shelf-life. She incorporates sexuality in her image, but it’s always classy. As for politics, she has really never been very politically outspoken at all unlike say Madonna or Lady Gaga. She hasn’t been in any petty celebrity feuds that I know of. She raises money for different causes. She beat cancer. She radiates positivity in pretty much every candid or staged photo she has ever taken.

The fact she so easily became a hate figure for my trolls despite all that simply through association with me just goes to show how some folks are just haters walking around in search of a target.

That’s the joke

I would like to have both in my life: If it comes to it, I’d choose my wife every time.

Unless of course it doesn’t work out for other reasons.

Marriage like any other human relationship (work, family, friendship etc.) is worth working on and trying to save, up to a point, but should not be saved at all costs and at the price of putting up with things like abuse.

Gosh I hope you're not having to endure abuse. (Unless being locked out of your account is abuse, maybe for you it is, lol) you're right a marriage is worth saving. Perhaps this site was just taking away too much time that your wife would have preferred spending with you. I have to be careful of my phone distracting me from the husband and kids. So that's why I am not as active. Sometimes just logging out and saying I'll check it in 3 days or one week helps alot. I could easily get sucked into it as well, so I totally get where you're coming from.

No, I’m not in an abusive relationship. But wifey can get pretty stubborn and judgmental about certain things. She’s Type A, I’m Type B. We both know that about each other.

She works 60+ hour weeks. I work 30 hours, ish, especially since my practice slowed down a bit with Covid. Yeah, I’m that “trailing spouse.” But it means I can take care of her more and have extra time left over for me.

I find ImgFlip to be a creative outlet where I can go for awhile to just “be me.” I come here to put my ideas out there into the world and make friends.

So you jest, but honestly, issuing an ultimatum to cut me off from the friends and personal growth and new wellsprings of creativity I’ve found here on this site could in a sense be considered abusive.

I really have had to struggle with my feelings for her and my feelings for here, and that is what this alt account is about.

“Rumors”

Lol. Starting rumors about *yourself* is fundamentally not cyber-bullying. It’s good-natured trolling.

There was just enough truth and plausibility mixed in here that I guess some people bought it. Perhaps it was a little too good for its own good.

But speaking of people lacking humor: You didn’t find this funny? I thought it was a scream. So did several others.

The joke is that being a paid troll is perhaps the lowest form of life on the internet and here I am openly admitting to it and cheerily celebrating it.

“Paid troll” is also a lazy accusation I’d heard leveled at me in many a political debate so I just figured I’d take it and run with it.

I don't really know of anyone besides Boma that didn't take you seriously and still think you're a paid troll, simply because you do troll an awful lot. But not sure you're a good enough troll to pay anything above minimum wage, lol. I've seen better.

You forgot the other 3, labeling, sexual content, threats.

To answer your other question: I believe I found the meme through a comment on someone else’s profile. There are many ways to find a meme without it being featured in a stream.

And there were a trainload of TOS violations in that meme and the comments it inspired: beyond any sort of comments by KylieFan_Mom.

Starting with the fact the meme was made by an account called KylieFan_Mom.

And continuing with the fact this is just the latest sequel in an ongoing months-long pattern of harassment against me over multiple memes and comment chains by a relatively small but prominent and powerful (i.e. one is a Community Mod) crew of so-called adults.

But forget about me for a second: If you care about assisting young ImgFlippers period then you’ll read up on what constitutes cyberbullying, how to spot it, and use whatever influence you have to encourage the Global Mods to reform their current attitudes toward it, which amounts to an effective denial that it even exists.

[image deleted]Let's talk about who's in denial shall we?

I can tell you haven't been on this site very long nor know what satire, sarcasm or irony is. Can you just for a minute laugh at anything?

“Threats”

I myself can’t sue ImgFlip, as I’ve stated many times, and individual memers are probably safe because of the simple fact that they’re judgment-proof (lawyerese for broke).

At most, I gave free legal advice that ImgFlip should probably take, but chose instead to chuck in the garbage can. Oh well.

The third-rate “legal analysis“ OP offered was hilarious and not even in the right ballpark. I’m not going to waste more time repeating why it was wrong.

I guess Kylie M. has decided all this is beneath her, but she beat Kylie Jenner (world’s youngest self-made billionaire) in a trademark battle after all, so if she were inclined to enforce her rights in this matter I would not favor ImgFlip’s chances.

*This message does not establish an attorney-client relationship, nor do any others I’ve ever offered on this site.

If you can’t entertain the possibility that this handsome, never-married 30-something cult leader who challenged the conservative teachings of the Pharisees, preached universal love, tolerance, and acceptance, and continuously stood up for the rights of the socially disadvantaged was gay or at least bisexual then I don’t know what else to tell you.

How do you know he was handsome and what does looks have to do with it anyways? Why didn't you pick any"cult" leader. Christianity is not a cult fwi. And since when does standing up for the poor and needy equate to being gay? And he stated several times (if you ever actually read the bible) why some people don't marry. St. Paul lived the same life, as have millions through the centuries, are they all gay? It's a ludicrous idea. You simply wanted to get a rile out of people as you admitted, if that isn't harassment i'm not sure what is.

Your efforts to characterize calling out cyberbullying as the real cyberbullying is noted and dismissed.

The nature of the KylieSUCKS stream and other similar efforts is not genuine criticism of either her or me, and you know it.

Are you kylie minogue? I'm not sure why you take a stupid stream that is full of badly photoshopped pictures of an obscure pop star that no one in this site cares about except you so personally unless you are actually her.

Figured you dismiss any criticism of you because you are beyond reproach and have a pristine and flawless record on this site. ROTFL. You really are a piece of work.

And like you we will continue to dismiss any claims that you make calling out cyberbullying because they're all in your head.

I don’t think that making a thought-provoking argument about Jesus that might ruffle people’s feathers simply because of their own negative beliefs about homosexuality is “harassment.”

In reality, I don’t think the Bible offers much textual support either way about Jesus’s sexuality. Heck, he may have been asexual. We don’t really know how (alleged) supernatural beings’ sexuality works.

Let me reiterate that I love Jesus and his moral teachings, despite some of the cult of personality around it, and the total failure of many of his loudest so-called followers to live up to those ideals.

Yea, yea, of course you can't be guilty of harassment, you are the harassment police after all, lol. If you want to call it a cult fine, we've been called worse, even the ones who do live up to Jesus teachings. Not that you seem to be doing any of that.

I have a question, is this really your mom?
https://imgflip.com/user/kyIiefan_mom

Yeah I would say disapprove it, again I haven't seen it but I can't imagine it's anything good

They should really keep that shit in the KylieSUCKS stream

Which is also a TOS violation in and of itself but ImgFlip doesn't see it that way it appears

So you had a kid delete a meme that you never even clicked on and claimed it was a violation of TOS?

Ok, got it

@KTG: The name of the account itself is pretty clearly harassment. I don't know how old Roddy_Ricch is but he's clearly more emotionally mature than whoever did that

Does that help?

But by all means: Feel free to provide a written description of the offending meme or repost it somewhere that isn't modded properly.

Turns out that in a stream called Everyone's_A_Mod, I guess some of them are good ones

Thanks again

And they ought to make you a mod over at Peace_On_ImgFlip, if you want to be.

Ok, i will check the stream out, ill see how it is

Thanks man. Good to know there’s someone out there not afraid to use their Mod powers for good.

No problem, always good to help a friend out

Plain and simple. You made the right call.

I was told they unmodded you from Everyone’s_A_Mod after your efforts to contain the harassment.

Apologies, I had no idea whoever’s in charge would do something like that.

Welcome to your first brush with the ImgFlip powers-that-be.

Question, how did you take a look after the meme was unfeatured and all the comments from Kyliefan_Mom deleted?

That would be a no

Still ain't clickin' that link

Should i dissaprove the image? Its in everyones a mod

k ill tell the people on the image

are you really kylie_fan89s alt

I am told there are other KF_89-adjacent alts running about

But I’d imagine it would be difficult for a KF_89 detractor to find it within themselves to ever post a picture of Kylie M. looking happy and normal like this

So take this as proof

ok i know its you, because you usually write in comments

like this

when making comments

with images

I did not even notice that about myself

Really

Only if the memes and comments they were running away from are restored as well. Deleting your account shouldn't become an option to wipe your post and comment history.

this is what happened to me. MY mom made me delete it now I'm stuck with 0 points.
