I have a quickie question, since we're on the topic of embedding etc.

If I, say, wanted to post a video that WASN'T that I thought was hilarious (say like a viral or a funny spoof etc) not for the sake of promoting it, just for a giggle... would it still need to go in the promo forums?

What about in PMs?

PMs arent currently a part of this as we have a 25 post limit to send them and spam PMs can be reported easily, we could do that if things got out of hand though

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

good update :]

That is and always has been perfectly fine, we need a good laugh now and then With VIP it will show as normal.

In relation to my first post without VIP in order for it to be embedded yes you would need to post it there, if you didn't have VIP and were posting it in the Chillout Room you would have to remove the http:// and members would need to copy and paste to view it which is still fine as long as it isnt spam etc
