well i dont know exact numbers or anything, but check all the editors that are new, that upload a few vids, then vanish never to come back. for reasons of being discouraged by bad ops, or just losing interest.
or maybe another way, you can upload more than 2 if the 2 vids you uploaded are rated at least at a 3.25 or above after recieving 10 star ratings.
better than the donation requirement idea
but it still has faults:
people are going to get their best friends to create accounts and vote 5s on their vids. or in the other extreme, a good video might hit a series of harsh raters on its first ten votes (or elitists who vote only 1s on dbz videos even if the video is good)
this was my idea from before:

If they cant store their vids online, they can at least go to op exchange, find someone willing to give an opinion, then transfer them over mirc or aim (or in the worst case, mail a burned CD.) The problem now is that the creators might get their friends to create an account and give their opinions. so to resolve this problem, i say the opinion giver must have been a member of the org for at least a month.
let me add i learned a lot from my first opinion, and improved a lot from it.
in this situation, the quality of the first amv doesn't matter. however, the creator will hopefully improve from the review the opinion giver leaves.
