Shameless Self Promotion

[sgbuster]

the amount of people who join the forum to post their own channel, especially in the case of this thread, completely stamps on the point of being a community.
There's a difference between people like Cosmyk and Arjahn who actively contribute to the forum while posting their channels as opposed to others who are here to try and get quick views from the DYKG/VGFacts brand.

Okay, I understand that you want to maintain a community feel, and I respect that, but a couple of things.

One: I thought the entire point of this thread WAS to shamelessly self promote our videos, hence the title. If that isn't the case, then why not do something like... off the top of my head here, but have one thread where people can dump their videos if people feel they're just there to do that, and another thread where people who are active in the community can promote their content? With the latter being more moderated than the first, so as to keep things organized? (I honestly assumed that was already what was going on)

Two: I really wasn't sure where exactly to post the video, hence why it ended up moved to this thread. Originally, I posted it in Creative Discussion, because I honestly didn't know. However, not only was the video moved here by an admin (which, okay, I understand that), but even after being moved to someplace that I assumed was completely harmless, the only thing that's happened is people basically saying "get your crap out of here", which, to be honest? Really doesn't do much to encourage anyone to become involved in a community.

If my posting videos is frustrating, I can leave the forums alone, that's fine. But if you want me to get involved in the community, this really isn't a good first impression to give. I'll stop posting videos, but... I dunno, just consider what I said for future reference or something.
