Shameless Self Promotion
(10-02-2014, 08:19 PM)CosmykTheDolfyn Wrote: We still want you involved in the community.  But here's the difference between say my personal spamming of my speedruns/marathons I've been involved in and your show.
So far, you have made 5 posts on the forums.  4 of this are directly related to your show.  I'll make a guess that the posts involving promoting myself aren't as many as my posts proving trivia evidence.  Not only that, I reguarly post in other sections too, adding to conversation.
Point is, video posting isn't bad in and of itself.  However, this site is still primarily about video game trivia, not "watch my videos".  We want you to contribute in that respect.  If you do that, we won't mind you posting videos of yourself either.  But you can't simply post your videos without contributing in any other way.
I'm sorry if this is confusing or coming across as too harsh.

In a nutshell. My personal beef is that we have people who are trying to become the next big thing on YouTube and then spamming their videos. I've seen this on plenty of forums where people leave posts promoting themselves and expect the rest of the forum to watch. What's worse are people who have plenty of views already still wanting more attention.

I understand the point of the Shameless Self Promotion is about Shamelessly Promoting yourself, but not in the manner of "I've just joined now watch my video" with no other activity on the forum. 

The old forum (DYKG) had this problem on a much larger scale. Like I said, this isn't single you out, but I'm personally stopping these types of posts now. 

The only way I can think of getting around this, is that you only allowed to post here after 10 posts. If I find you spamming to get up to 10 posts, then they'll be removed. If you post in this thread without hitting 10 posts(basically signing up for the YouTube views) then you'll have that Shameless Promotion video removed. 

Just an idea. Obviously I'm not enforcing this until everyone agrees. I don't think this forum should have to put up with this.
