Video Rules

[DustyPorViva]

Last time I had something approved I got told to post it in the lounge anyways. The problem is it's stupid... they should expect their moderators to mod, not to make rules just to avoid what could possibly, if someone ever wants to, be a bad situation(which can still happen!). The problem is the forums feel like a prison instead of the community... I guess that's what we all want though! woooo :/

then the video belonged in the lounge. Exceptions could be made with approval for helpful videos in certain forums, and videos of playerworlds, such as in a thread where someone is showing progress on their playerworld, otherwise, graal related videos can go in the video forum, and non graal related can go in the lounge.

Remember, this is unixmads forum, the decisions of what to have on this forum, and where, is his decision

There is no reason that non-Graal-related videos should have to go to the lounge, except laziness.

the Non graal related forum should be removed, since this is what the lounge is for.

If the moderators chose what was to be on these forums, you might have a reason to claim laziness, but we dont
unixmad doesnt want that stuff on the main forum.

If anything the lounge should be removed.

It wasn't a video, it was a perfectly fine link that was very informative in the thread I wanted it posted in.

Like I said, there are circumstances that videos would be fine in other sections... and I know it's Unixmad's forums, that doesn't mean that it's fine, or that we aren't going to speak up about it, especially if we have to pay for access to these forums.

In the end, all I have to say is: there aren't any other forums that I have ever browsed that were as strict, and suffocating as these forums. Most forums use standard rules that are pretty universal between all forums, except for Graal... it shows that something is wrong, and I don't think it's every other forum.

Then stop claiming that the moderators are lazy, when we dont make the decisions.

[DustyPorViva]

I never said you were lazy; I said the tactic is a lazy approach, stop jumping to take everything so personally.

What's going on here is basically like banning household cleaners. Why? Because typically, there is nothing wrong with them, but they CAN be used for questionable purposes. Now, they allow you to use them, but only when you go down to townhall and specifically ask for someone to supervise you while you use them.

Now... why would they ban household cleaners instead of simply putting the effort into finding those who abuse them? Simply because the government feels it's easier to ban them instead of putting the work effort into managing them, even though the problem is hardly even cause for concern.

In otherwords... WTF?

Are you kidding me?

Then you would have to be 14 to view anything not related to Graal.

[DustyPorViva]

IT IS SAFE OUTSIDE OF GRAAL, IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD!!!!

plz don't uncap me.

rofl... that's perfect logic there.

Sorry but these are the GRAAL forums, not a place for pointless ranting or whatever. Most forums that I know of, including open forums, are just deleting non-related threads, because it's too much wasted work to remind people over and over again to not post spam and non-related things. This thread is a fine example: instead of explaining their point of view why videos should be enabled in other sub-forums, most people here just argue about how strict the rules are and how in general the world is bad. Giving us arguments why stuff should be changed is helping, whining about deleted threads that I've probably never seen is not helping.
