Ever increasing amount of non-anime videos

Ok, I've been noticing this trend for awhile but didn't say anything till I saw this guy

I figured that everyone is entitled to make videos, heck, even I have one non-anime music video. But i primarily make anime music videos. This person hasn't made one yet. Considering the title on this site, I think there should be some control as to what is put into the catalog. By having non-relevent entries in the database, it one, slows it down, and second, shouldn't even be there in the first place. Hell, I'd remove my non-anime video for the cause, but we all know you can't remove videos. Is this something i should be dropping in the mod box or do other ppl feel the same way and if they do maybe we can come to some sort of common ground on this problem.

So have a field in the database for "is this an anime video or not?" and make it easy to search for only anime videos. Problem solved, if we can get people to check it honestly.

Now, if we could have a "Suck (Y/N)?" check box and get that one populated honestly, we'd really be getting somewhere.

Having a field to check if something is anime or not would just give people more excuse to post more non-anime videos :\

If you know how databases work that doesn't make a performance difference but having a checkbox, if anything it slows it down even more. More importantly some of these ppl put for the series something like "jet lee". What this is doing is just putting more bad data into the system. But more importantly, this is ANIMEmusicvidoes.org If it was just fanmademusicvideos.org that would be different. I just think that there should be some quality control in what is allowed in here. Yeah, maybe they don't have any other place to list their videos, but that is how it was like just a few years ago with amv's. Just deal with the fact that if phade wanted to have this site cater to other types of fan made videos he wouldn't have called it what he did.
