Video Rules

[DustyPorViva]

No one mentioned deleting threads? While I discussed the forums rules in general being strict, I never steered away from the main point I was making about the video rules. In fact, my discussion about strict rules is completely on topic with the video rules--because they are overly strict.

I gave my reasons, and was basically told "this is Unixmad's forums, he does what he wants." That's true, but it completely kills the point that you say we should give reasons if that's how we're going to be answered. None of what we say helps because no one in power really cares to listen to it.

I just wanted to know the rules for posting videos.

The thread has been derailed from discussion of the video rules to a suggesiton of removing the non-graal related threads. Every single MMORPG out there has a forum, and every single MMORPG has an off-topic section of their forum as it is near impossible to talk about the game all day and keep a solid community. Graal is community based, so it should be.

Anyway, Graal related videos should be allowed to go in any thread as long as they're relevant. People should be allowed to post videos of their server in recruiting threads, post videos of scripts in action, post videos of events, I don't see why they should be restricted to one forum when they could be relevant to a thread outside of that forum. Non-Graal related videos are never really a bad thing, and they shouldn't be spammed around the forums if they don't have any relevance, but they should be allowed if they DO have relevance, such as 3d tutorials, etc.

Every video should be appropriate, but I don't see why they should be restricted to two forums for no reason.

lolol didn't know posting videos was this big of a deal.

Can we post videos demoing scripts we release?

[DustyPorViva]

According to this? No.

Well, they said you can get them approved... but ya.....

[MysticX2X]

I don't get why you think you should gain rights here dusty. Its Unixmads forums, not ours. You agreed to abide by the rules when you signed up... Btw i only see like a total of one video every 2 weeks in the lounge, whats so big about it.

[DustyPorViva]

Well I joined when there were a different set of rules... but that's besides the point. I know they are Unixmad's forums, and I still abide by the rules. That doesn't mean, however, that I wouldn't like them changed. Unixmad made it so that we have to pay to have access to the forums, thus, they were a service... I'm not a happy customer and I'm going to voice it.

And even if there aren't a lot of videos, it doesn't really matter. It's not even about videos, it's about them banning everything instead of having to moderate the content. It's just like with links.

I only see like a total of one thread every 2 weeks in the lounge. Why do we need two non-Graal related forums? Just letting videos be normally posted would be fine, they're rarely posted anyways.

Perhaps a function where mods have to approve Youtube links before they're shown?

[MysticX2X]

Or just letting people watch them. I dont think youtube lets any obscene material be uploaded on their servers unless given a warning that there is before viewing the video.

[DustyPorViva]

It allows cursing... so ya. Oh, and discussion of other MMO's... OH NO!

YouTube does not pre-screen videos. And, YouTube has some videos with lots of violence, cursing, hate speech, racism; they even have messages from terrorists (which the government is trying to get taken down ...).
