I have seen some posts disappear that did not look like what I would think we're violations of society's standards but possibly contrary to personal standards of individual monitors. Could anyone help me to know the particular bent of Imgur culture authorities so that I may know how to tread carefully?

Could be self-deletion at points. Sometimes people regret posts and delete them.

Or just clean out their images folder and forget they uploaded one. I've done that.

According to the EU, there is an awful lot you can't criticize, including the EU itself it seems.

I'm not allowed to criticize anyone cause they might get "offended."

they are unpredictable. I've had posts pulled that violated none of the rules. no warning or message why. just deleted

Well, you are "ruled" as soon as you feel the need to ask what the rules are.

I had a post marked as sexually explicit because someone had a half-body bikini. As In It covered everything but her legs.

Guys, you're doing this incorrectly, you can't give away you're giving away the truth because by then it will be too late you HAVE TO RUSH T

The quote is incorrect, it's not from Voltaire, it's actually a paraphrased quote from neo-Nazi Kevin Strom

That bloke seems to be a fuck-head, but at the same time, a broken clock yada, yada over used and cliched statement right two times a day.
geauxhike
I doubt Strom was the 1st or only in History to say this. It's a pretty obvious statement on how to identify those with power over you.

To be fair, doesn't that make it more poignant? I would consider a neo-Nazi an expert on oppression.

Also it doesn't really work in the modern day when one company owns all media and can influence who you think you can't criticize

Don't criticize @OP. You should know he is beyond reproach.
darkandstormynight
There's nowhere that actually provides solid evidence he said this either. He gets attributed to it online but it's STRONGLY paraphrasing.
Sludgesoda
Eh, it's pretty close IMO, what gets attributed as the original quote from "All America Must Know the Terror That is Upon Us" is:
Sludgesoda
"To determine the true rulers of any society, all you must do is ask yourself this question:Who is it that I am not permitted to criticize?"
darkandstormynight
Well yes, definitely not saying that isn't paraphrasing his thoughts. But I'm sure many many people have said things like this before. 1/2
darkandstormynight
I can't imagine that he's the first one to suggest this, so giving him credit because something he said is similar is a little odd.

Well, OP needs to reevaluate this post

Sorry, didn't vet it. Seemed like sound logic.

"Even a stopped clock is right twice a day." The truth can still be spoken by liars and fills.
TreeOhhTree
Just bc the dude was a Neo nazi doesn't mean you have to refute the statement. Bad ppl have good ideas, good people have bad ideas, it's
TreeOhhTree
how the idea speaks to you that matters. And I highly doubt you'd use this logic to empower hate speech. I mean idk you but still..
bishop2905
Even so, good quote.
likeAStonedMonkey
Hmmm who came first?
Sludgesoda
Well, his conclusion to who we aren't allowed to criticize is "But anti-semitism is the ultimate sin in America" So of course, it's the Jews
pissinginthewind
How do they explain the early toleration towards BDS in that case? If they do at all, that is.
evilterran
No it's not. Are we ruled over by, say... veterans, cripples, or the recently deceased? It's bullshit.
rshackleford
We're allowed to criticize them. If you take this to mean can't in that you'll get your civil liberties taken away it makes sense.
earlywormy
Not true. I think the quote applies well to comedy, the fact that most comedians have moral codes though complicated the matter
kapp70
As a handicapped veteran, you are wrong. Anyone should be able to be criticized. Thin skins shouldn't be trying to lead.
evilterran
Did I say we *shouldn't* be allowed to criticize them? No, I said we *aren't* - as in, society tends to frown on it. Doesn't mean I agree.
kapp70
Oh, I apologize. I misconstrued what you were saying. No hard feelings?
