This mark has literally nothing to do with downvoting and is totally up to the discretion of moderators. You can for any reason be labeled and it has nothing to do with an algorithm and I know this for a fact. Take this as you will. They will of course deny this.

Yeah I know, but I’m still paranoid about that.

Why?

Identifying information. I’m paranoid they may have some kind of filters or whatnot that I’ve never heard of, or data in the image encoding that can be traced back to me. I’m comfortable confessing the extent of my ignorance in these matters. I’m using a lot of software, the ins and outs of which are largely a mystery to me.

No offense dude but you aren’t that important.

I commented earlier today about a free program to wipe metadata from images quickly.

I use it every day and I try to wipe metadata from any image I save from online, but I always wipe an image before uploading it to a hosting site. Anyone uploading an image online should do so before hand. Some image hosting sites claim to automatically wipe metadata, but I don't trust them. It's at least something to help clean potentially identifiable information from an image.
