First of all, this guy @Lassannn is indeed a mod as confirmed by @MartynMage
I had no idea what this was all about until a little while ago so I did some digging and decided to post what I found since a lot of others don't either.
1) People hate lindadee
2) She's accused of reporting tons of comments and getting many users banned, for things as trivial as asking if she uses bots.
3) People question if she uses bots because of the ridiculous amount of points she has, and sometimes because the views are much lower than the points.
4) These users claim to get banned or shadowbamned because she's friends with a/the mod(s).
Okay so whatever this sounds like another imgur witch hunt. But then this. /
Okay so downvoting isn't against the rules.
But what now? Why are her points get reinstated? A very similar thing happened with @mohaki. Did his points get reinstated? Have any of my points gotten reinstated? Has anyone else's? Like @Bird639 said fuck the community right?
Why reinstate her points if downvoting isn't against the rules? @icescream is right. This is clear preferential treatment and pretty disgusting by the mods.
I have serious doubts about how real this one is but I'm throwing it in there, since she has been accused of harassment as well.
Pretty self explanatory.
'And I will do the same'. Seems to me that guy did absolutely nothing wrong but @lindalee messaged him not once but twice after he asked her not to, so well, make of it what you will. This post is meant to be informative. It may get deleted.
Alexander717
Fuck her. Her profile looks like a politician's "There is slander against me, but I...am of the people! They can't hurt me! They-" etc.

Fuck imgur for making him a mod and concealing it. He should appear on the official list if he is legit.

Seriously why the fuck would they make him a mod? Is the management braindead?
Aschoon96

Moderator. It's a type of user that has some options that normal users do not have, such as banning or modifying points.

Before I always took it as a joke, which I’m sure it was. Now it seems more appropriate.

No it wasn’t always a joke people really meant it because lasannn is a sociopath. Then he turned into a joke. Source: I have no life.
MrMcDude
Care to elaborate?
JediMasterKitFisto
He said he did cpr on someone and saved their life. Responded to like every comment calling him a hero etc. Got called out deleted everythin
MoonPotadoh
I don't know about sociopathic but I know people used to get mad at him because he would post stories that made him out to be different 1/?
MoonPotadoh
people in different professions and he reposted a lot. I remember him getting hate for that but I never thought he was that bad until now.

It was a joke, but I guess whoever started it is psychic.
KeeleonOhms
There was definitely a reason for it. He reposts just as bad as her. He just wasnt as vindicative about bot reporting disagreements.

Honestly originally I was fine with it. My main thing is if it's a repost but it's funny and they're not being cunts about it so be it, but

Steffn
But why would you care about the points in the first place?
donkeymoney
We dont have a lot of rules holding this little community together. Points are the main way we express and organize ourselves.
BuiltonSin
Points are what is seen. If that rule no longer applies, Imgur is defunct (becomes what a minority want to see, not the Imgur community).
Retrikaethan
i was under the impression points were pointless in the first place. i don't really understand why either side cares as much as they do.
TheOtherAlan
They are but apparently some people get really butthurt if they lose them.
BuiltonSin
Users getting banned for not breaking the ToS is the problem. This sends a strong precedent that if you don't like it, don't use Imgur.
wintercoat
Points are imaginary, not pointless. They're social validation. And yes, social validation is pretty important psychologically.

Very good point. Because it shows he/she/it in the end is nothing more than a lil facebook attention whore.

Probably this. Lindadee is already playing the feminist card and claiming "so many women" were driven off the site for no reason at all.
cpnbeeb
Which is wild as I've been on the IC forums for a while and a lot of women have posted precisely why they've been driven away.
shadowex3
The thing about feminism is it's about a woman's right to say no to everything except feminism. They cant accept that most women reject them

Which is why women who reject feminism are brutally terrorized far worse than everyone else. See: Erin Pizzey's drive by shooting

Stop being sexist!
last1alive
...all we know is that she's the stick.

Hahahaha!
CertifiedAgreer
Some say she's still drinking!
YouAreDrunk
You all are drunk.

Just to clarify. I’ve no idea what this point lock thing is and don’t even believe it exists. But these screenshots are both faked.
Gaidenninjacat
Even if you say this, You have probably already lost the trust of so many users.
OCanadian
WTF is a point lock thing?
TheOtherAlan
Thanks for some sanity Martyn. See ya next month :]
MartynMage
For sure!
scotjam
Which ones? I seem to see 7 or so of them in the post - are they all fake?
jzim16mer
The ones that have his username, I'm guessing they were photoshopped.

How do you know that they're fake?
MartynMage
They have been shared around like crazy and have been an excuse to harass a user which is not okay whatsoever
MartynMage
Someone just appears to really have something against Linda and has dedicated far too much time to creating a circle of hate
CertifiedAgreer
The point reinstating thing was claimed by the same guy you confirmed was a mod though. I don't believe most of the accusations but 1/2
agentcase
Linda stealth account spotted!
caligulag
You mean people on imgur lie?

Deacold
Not gonna lie... wasn't expecting that

Gif of @sarah dancing while drunk.
blindoctor
But all we know is she's called LindaDee.
evastria
Linda is Sarah's Herobrine.
DefinitelyNotDavidDuchovny
She was an anomaly in the code
iScreenshotGifsAndUseThemToComment
Everyone is talking about her - has anyone read anything she's ever written? She is clearly retarded or has major mental issues.
peoniesinkittylitter
I couldn't follow most of what she was writing in her messages to shimmernfade. Terrible punctuation.
OPGotDatSack
Deranged facebook mom
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
So we need an exorcism to send her back to Facebook?
BlueLube
We gonna need some candy crush, 100 likes that prove we believe in Jesus, a quote about how blessed life is, a selfie, and old memes.
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
That will just attract more of them.
OPGotDatSack
Im gonna bring some quotes w. Minions on them and some Live Laugh Love shit as well
BlueLube
Just read through some of her comments and your description is accurate. Her comments made me cringe.
RevanTheJedi
Plot twist: it's actually mark zuckerberg
ShimmerFairy
I got a non-native speaker vibe from the messages in this particular post. Nothing stands out to me that says mental issues.
IMakeObviousStatments
I was thinking the same thing
TimidTimber
After reading about it I was thinking mental issues as well.
donkeymoney
Yeah...I am worried she is some derptard who we will make sad.
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
The thing is she's failing to do the normal internet things: watch your ego, never assume people know your prior knowledge, (1/2)
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
(2/2) never redirect the topic to yourself unless it's about feels and experience, and don't pretend to be a victim while being rude.
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
(3/2) She's been on the internet long enough not to be internet illiterate 100% of the time. Most people don't derp out >33% of the time.
omgurimgur
It's like everyone forgot what happens to normal people when trolled. Everything she says in this post is obviously in defense.
iScreenshotGifsAndUseThemToComment
I get trolled all the time. I don't retard rage.
omgurimgur
Do you expect everyone to behave as you do?
iScreenshotGifsAndUseThemToComment
If only.
OriginalGamma
I don't really understand the whole downvote cap thing. Would be nice to hear the reasoning.
TrueFireduck
It's not real it was bullshit they tried to use to claim there was no point freeze, my guess is a mod was then targeted to prove it's shit
battlepants
Probably to stop (or at least slow) witch hunts.
OriginalHayze
I agree its dumb But i think its to prevent another NDelRay thing from happening.
amoebot
One user who is the victim of a rumor that spreads might need protective systems in place to keep them from being bombed to mega negative.
johnnydangerous
So what?!
amoebot
1) So what....what? Some people apparently care about points. You might not cry if you were getting PM'd and downvote bombed b/c of ...
amoebot
2) ...mob mentality, but some people probably wouldn't like it. People are being little bitches about the whole thing. They need to grow up.
johnnydangerous
If you haven't noticed, points are what drive content to become more popular. A rigged system will cause a mass exodus as usersub is not FB.
johnnydangerous
If people can't handle comments, DM's, and downvotes - go back to FB. Imgur was built for the Reddit crowd, not FB crowd, hence the outcry.
ServantOfTheGodEmperorOfUsersub
Honestly this happens enough that they would reasonably implement damage control features and procedures. (1/2)
Trecares
Sometimes it's justified and a reflection of the community's perceptions. https://imgur.com/user/thatfatkat
ServantOfTheGodEmperorOfUsersub
It's within their rights and best interests to cut these things short by any means necessary, instead of it hurting the site. (2/2)
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
If they cared about the site they'd have started ignoring Lynda D's ban and censor requests, by now.
barrettsmithbb
Probably the whole NDelRay fiasco. Hundred of thousands of downvotes because people are idiots.
tothe9ines
Nooo, she asked people to donate to her bullshit gofundme page and said, “I super duper promise I’ll use this money for charity!!”
OrbitalSquid
If I remember correctly, didn't she ask people for money on a crowdfunding site?
redmangc
Yeah, there was a normal amount of dv because of her lying about naked hula hoop, silly I know, then she edited for one and all hell broke
Trecares
Correct. It started to come down hard when she put up the gofundme link.
barrettsmithbb
She promised 'NSFW' hula hoop, not necessarily naked.
CertifiedAgreer
Exactly. I don't see any concrete proof of the mod friends and all the other stuff but this is wrong.
Spalooga
Lassann is a mod and mentioned he knew her in his post
raptorheyzues
This is extremely strange. On one hand, it's potentially treating one use better than the others. On the other hand, people being banned 1/?
raptorheyzues
is simply ridiciulous. This is an image sharing website. People are taking this way to seriously. Mods and users. 2/2
icescream
Being shadow banned is worse than being outright banned. You may never realize you are shadow banned as everything is same on the user end.
KhajiitWillFollow
My other account was shadow banned, literally everything I posted/said never got an up or down vote and I never knew until quite recently.
icescream
Except no one will ever see your posts or comments and you will never know about it. It's a cowardly way to silence real users, meant 4 bots
picturesarenice
I will say it's hard to side with a Certified Agreer. Just throwing that out there.
CertifiedAgreer
That's.... Right. Yes, you're absolutely right
