Justin, just to be clear, we don't mind you embedding the videos as part of helpful posts in other threads, or occasionally in their own right.
It's simply that in your first 40 or so posts, you bashed a series of half a dozen or more videos out in their own threads. Now, we had multiple reports that you were spamming the forum - you see, we have a
rule that is kind of at least being bent by that...
Prohibited content
- Piracy (of the internet kind), anything naughty or criminal. Market research, surveys etc.
- Anything that makes you money (or goods) from our community (Referral links etc).
- Anything else that just isn't nice.
now, you signed up to, and presumably read these rules when you joined. You have said yourself that there is advertising revenue at stake depending on the views you get, so technically, just "post and run" threads with a video and no other conversation or explaination in them pretty much falls foul of that rule. Hence the slightly aggressive nature of some of our members posts on here - remember that some of these people pay hard-earned money to advertise their business on here, and get aggrieved when people come on, flout the rules and make money out of the forum...
So, earlier in the thread I pointed out to you that we'd really prefer if you contributed in ways not solely confined to dropping videos and disappearing. You seem to be joining in, and we're generally not minded to take any action at this time, but please - take this as a serious heads up from the people looking after the running of this forum - keep your participation up in ways not related to the bit that's earning money off the back of everyone on here - or - if you want to advertise your video tutorial business, hit the contact us link and enquire about our very reasonable advertising rates...
