Links and Video Embedding

[Michael]

Hey everyone,

As of now links and video embedding will no longer work outside of the Videos, Channels, Reviews and Milestones forum and the moderated forums (Articles and Meet our YouTubers) unless you have VIP membership.

This is to help cut down on spamming and view begging, this works similar to comments on YouTube how you are unable to post links which parse. As we have seen on there, comment spam is reduced when it comes to URLs being posted/videos being posted and this should help YTtalk a lot.

Thank you for reading

So if I wanted to spam my videos in the chillout room because I am a VIP...I could

So, we can still post links to various clips? Just not the actual video itself.

No!

The only way you can link to something is by removing http:// and not using the BBcode in the editor, others would have to copy and paste it basically With VIP though you will be able to bypass this check and it will embed as normal.

Good idea, there has been an influx of new members perhaps not understanding the rules and spamming the chillout room lately.
