Y o u t u b e = boochsack?

Post by kenisama » Tue Sep 29, 2009 6:52 pm

I just notice that anytime "y o u t u b e" is typed on these forums it is automatically replaced with "boochsack". I've looked through all the forum rules and didn't see anything that jumped out at me immediately saying that we can or shouldn't type "y o u t u b e."

Is this something recent that is happening? And if this is the case, should we no longer make any reference on this forum of the aforementioned website?

I ask only because I don't want to be breaking a rule I may not be aware of and hopefully I'm not stirring something up that was already addressed somewhere else :nono:

Not long ago I made that substitution into a link. Please follow that link, as seen below.

Got it, the tube is evil. So just to be sure... the substitution link is for awareness? Or are we really not allowed to reference the tube? I'm still confused on that.

It's basically because Phade/theorg hates what the tube is, and doesn't want a-m-v.org to be associated with copyright breaking and WMG. The little fiasco with Evenescnce and their record label didn't help things either.

That's the tl;dr version anyway.

Well, also we specifically don't want direct, easily-traceable links to the 'sack. We don't want to leave the site at the mercy of youtube's policies etc. It's like the illegal downloads rule - simply put, a risk that really isn't worth taking for the .org.

I guess what I was looking for was a yes or no answer :roll:

I only found all this out cuz I was making a reference to a non-anime related vid I thought was funny pertaining copyright infringement and the best link for the vid was on the tube. I understand the reasonings and respect that, which is why, I want to know... are we or are we not allowed to link the tube. Plain and simple, black and white, yes or no.

I ask this because in the youtube post or even the forum rules for that matter, it gives no clear answer on whether or not we can.

I appreciate the attention to this matter and the responses I've received thus far. But I guess I'll just assume it's a no and drop the subject. But I do feel, if this is such an important issue, it should be in the rules.

noone will punish you for posting the word "boochsack", don't worry. We've had plenty of general AMV discussions pertaining to events on YT and those are generally productive. It's just that officially, this site will not support youtube links etc.

Isn't the no fairly obvious? Of course you can't link to it - the word-filter prevents that. :roll:
