…do the mods look at the entry before it is fully uploaded to the site?(i mean so everone can see it) I know it's probably a stupid question but i was just wondering.

I'd assume they don't
Otherwise the amount of meme entries seen daily would drop dramatically.
And shitstorms would be rare in the memes section.
As a suggestion though, I think that'd be brilliant.
Yeah i was just thinking that.My brother's on a forum that used to let you post whatever thread you liked, but after the site update they made sure a mod had to have allowed it before users could see it.Considering how many trolls we get i thought it would be a great idea to try and combat trolls.
I think there's a featured or stickied thread on this site just for suggestions on how to make KYM better. I say you should try petitioning it there to get feedback on it.
I think we turned away from that idea a while back because we'd rather the community have a chance to see it before we deadpool or hide something.

Ah. Makes sense.
Sorry, OP.

^^this.
If it's a entry that could possibly be a meme then you could let it pass, but if it's somthing that's an obvious troll (e.g. OMG LOOK AT DIS MEME I CREATED LOL) then you could get rid of it. While i do agree with you, letting the community seeing the trolls would only put the troll entries on the trending bar, let the communit react to it (feeding the trolls) and would stop the good entries from getting the spotlight.It would help to get rid of the obvious trolls that are always on the trending bar.

That adds a layer of complication to the existing system.
This way, we have the community view it, and then if it's a bad article it's deadpooled. If the mods pre-screen the obvious trolls out, then they have to do two screenings instead of one. It's more efficient just to leave it at one.
