This page explains what a user is and will elaborate on several workings in the application regarding or relating to users.

Edit User

It is also possible to edit users through commands. See:

Imgur name

This is the name of the account that will be subscribed

(At least one) subscription

By selecting a Taglist from the list underneath "Subscriptions" it is possible to setup ratings (if applicable) and filters for the user. Any filters should be separated by a space. If the taglist requires ratings and no ratings are selected, the user-subscription is ignored.
Any taglists that have a valid subscription are prepended with a + in the list.

Notes

Filters

Filters are custom entries that the user wishes not to see.

For example, if a user has the term weather as a filter, any tag commands that use weather as an argument will ensure that the specified user is not tagged.

There are 2 limitations to filters:

  • Cannot be s, q or e (since these are already used for ratings)
  • Cannot be the same as a Taglist abbreviation (since it will prioritize taglists over filters). Any new taglist-abbreviations that overlap with existing filters will invalidate (but not remove) said filters.

User Sanitation

Users on Imgur tend to change their names around, and mentions to their old name will not notify them. Their internal Imgur ID does not change along with this. Every hour the application goes through a number of users, updating to their new name if necessary.

As such, if a user wishes to be unsubscribed from the application, it isn't enough to change their username. They will have to request whomever manages the specified taglist to be unsubscribed.

At current (2018-04-26) the application sanitizes 50 users per hour, assuming uninterrupted operation.
