Rules on Videos

[Seatherny]

I think rules on these needs to be cleared up:


How many videos can we have per post?
Can the videos contain swearing? - because current its against the rules to post images with swearing
Can we post violent videos?


Those are just my questions. I am sure others have many more.

Closed by Oli (Assistant Forum Manager): This thread seems to have no point any longer and is probably just going to get spammed. See rule A11 for the results.

shud that picher realy need to be thir

For your first question, I don't think there is a limit as of yet, so just be sensible, they don't autoplay so it's not a massive problem, but I'm sure we will introduce a limit soon.

The videos can contain swearing as long as you place a warning in red and bold stating that the video contains swearing.

As for violence it will really depend on the video I suspect, but for now, it'll be the same as swearing if it will offend anyone, you'll have to place a warning in the post.

Hope this helped.

[Seatherny]

Thank you :).

Another question: Can we post videos with TV shows on them? Basically posting say a episode of House in parts.

[iAdam]

That is a tricky one, I'd like to say yes, but as I have said, the rules are very under-developed at the moment when it comes to the new video feature.

[Seatherny]

Ok thanks. Just wanted to clear it up as warez links are no longer allowed.

[Catzsy]

I would say this rule still applies with the embedded video being treated the same as a link/spoiler although it is posted on the forum but I expect you will get a reply from the habbox management before too long.


A7. Do not post inappropriate content, links, or images – Images or links with inappropriate content or pictures, gore, nudity, obscenity or annoyance such as never ending pop-ups are not allowed. (Including Signature images linked to the websites). The only exception to this is when posting an outside link such as a video or image where content is mildly sexual/offensive but suitable for 14 -16 years old. This is allowed but it must be a link or in a spoiler with a suitable warning in bold . IT MUST NOT BE POSTED DIRECTLY ONTO THE FORUM and must have a warning in bold above it e.g Warning - this link/spoiler contains content which may not be suitable for younger members.

I will raise this issues when I speak with Garion & Sam later, but for now I would say follow our Super Moderator's handy advice in the post above.

Are we allowed to post videos as visitor messages?

Thanks.

One thing that is annoying me is the fact that if i happen to click the video it will then open a new tab/page for YouTube. Anychance this can be turned off?

No because this is something youtube do, nothing our side.

Could someone please answer that?

Obviously we don't have any rules for videos yet, we will start these immediately when Garion gets back from London however for now videos can be posted in visitor messages, however I think it'd be wise to limit this to one video in any visitor message :)

Lmao? Im sorry but if your allowing copyright material on the site then Im not really happy as many of my threads and post have been removed due to copyright rules.
Maybe I should start posting warez links if your that relaxed on that rule.

[Jamesy]

If it breaks copyright then youtube will take it down eventually. That should be the limits we follow.

[hah]

you can post images on profiles so i doubt u can post videos

[Hecktix]

Just to expand on points here:

- A limit of videos per post will be decided when we make the video rules
- Mild swearing is permitted so long as there is a bold warning
- See Rule A7 in reference to violence.

In terms of illegal youtube videos, they simply won't be allowed, like other illegal content isn't. As James said, YouTube take them down eventually.

[Hecktix]

Please see rule A18 for the final decisions in this area

Wait, what? You can post videos now?! OK, well I only know what I gather from this thread, but surely there is a way to avoid them opening in a new tab? YouTube videos can be watched from embedded locations all over the place so it's hard to imagine that it's not possible here. As for what is and isn't allowed, wouldn't it be fairly safe to just allow any YouTube video - or just say anything that doesn't breach the current rules? After all, anything illegal or inappropriate is removed by YouTube themselves or in some cases is at least restricted (so login is required which should mean Habbox isn't "allowing" it as such). In the rare instance where something falls through the net, then action can be taken.

I'm not sure, but what I think he meant was when you click play, it plays the video, and then if you click the video image, it takes you to the YouTube page where the video is located. We can play videos on the forum

My experience of videos on the forum since posting in this thread, have been good. I haven't found any problems :)

I was very against videos but people have proved me wrong and havent filled every post on the forum with videos, so yep, its good.

[hah]
