I noticed a strange error when trying to upload a pizzagate related image to ImgTC. so I went to ask the creator about it on Voat, and noticed that he deleted his account.

I can upload other images just fine, but for some reason this image acting up: https://img1.steemit.com/0x0/http://i.imgur.com/WKj2H2i.png Which I found here: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1429561.
Try uploading it, and you'll get this.
"Unable to display image. It has either been moved or deleted for violating the Terms of Use."
Even after renaming, it still wouldn't let me upload it.
Is this the Sli.mg fiasco all over again? (I never did hear what happened to them)

If it is, get ready and back up what you can.
Be aware though that I still haven't verified the validity of that image, which is what I was trying to do when I came across this blog: https://archive.is/QCjd4
"We previously reported that Comet Ping Pong had a seemingly suspicious “protected” area of its website with an array of password-protected zip files, as shown below:"

"However, on e of the researchers has debunked the claim that this is suspicious, as can be seen in this discussion. This development shows that confirmation bias has not taken over the research — participants are narrowing down aspects that are do seem geniuinely suspicious or remarkable by discovering that some of the discoveries, after all, are not. In other words, they are fact-checking themselves as they learn and uncover more."
Besides knowing more about the state of ImgTC, I'd also like to know whether this image was actually "debunked"..

Last couple weeks there's been a drop in visitors at a time and excessive amount of Mods. I think because they have done stuff to the site so we are like auto censored by codes or whatever they probably have in place so they don't need to use as many resources to babysit us. Someone even mentioned they put an invite only for the sub...probably only shills are allowed in now and have multiple accounts to be assholes to us.

You think mods are comprimised? I haven't been keeping up, but have heard rumors. Are you speculating or do you know for sure? Also what do you mean by an exessive amount of Mods?
With way the rules are set up (mods must comment explaining their deletion), and with how we have moderation logs, you'd think it'd be pretty transparant no? Sub activity has certainly gone down, but it could be completely organic.

There was recently 15 to 17 mods which was athe least 3 times as many as other subs and they take the job of finding reasons to delete posts very serious around here....meanwhile there's still a bunch of crap and repeats taking up space.
