I would love this idea, and I mentioned it previously too!

I hope this comes into action, makes things a lot easier.

It's been mentioned at least 4 times (twice by me :P) never got impletemented.

Even though it is a simple bb code :)


fully behind it, would make threads much neater.

No, I'd be sick of waiting to have the embedded videos show up on my page, plus people will go over the top with them.

Just stick with external links, they work just as fine.

no, mindless sheep will be posting rick roll videos getting hard off them.

As long as -

• An option was created to turn it off for people who don't want to see the videos (it would just display a link instead).

• There were rules to stop people posting stupid things like Rick Roll.

The first thing came to mind for me is that it would have to be necessary for someone to warn that a video may contain swearing because that falls under the Habbox rules and if someone didn't post a warning, how a (super) moderator would deal with the user (but that'd be managements job to decide). Also, every now and again, inappropriate videos can slip through the net so that could become a problem with people abusing the new feature. I honestly wouldn't mind doing an extra but of moderating, ensuring that the videos are clean and such - Like I said, it'd have to be compulsory for members to forewarn about swearing and such like most do when posting links. I can't actually see this being implemented but it does exist on other forums and proves pretty successful so management should definitely look into it properly. I'm sure for the first few weeks it would be used pretty much everywhere but like most things, it'd die down and probably become confined to the spam section (aswell as the Entertainment forums).

As long as you don't get idiots posting 'Funny Fight' and then you click play and it's rick roll but the preview that actually shows on the 1 second picture preview at the front is a pic of a kid or something.. :rolleyes:

Hmm, after reviewing this, im not so sure about i first said. If there were rules about it and law and order, it could work, and as Slowpoke said, an option to turn it off.

No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.

No.

I'm not sure if it lags up the forum but I'm pretty sure it does. Regardless, it makes it possible to put things like rick roll and innappropriate content on the forum which just makes things annoying.

I'd rather not have the feature than have to add in a set of rules to create, enforce, and make members remember to govern it, since its pretty nonessential and easy enough to click a new link :P

What's wrong with posting a link that people can just click anyway? :P
