Some suggestions: Youtube embedded on forum & new emoticons

[today]

I do hope not, i hate videos on forums really pisses me off :/

so despite it being a 2:1 majority, (even though the main thing was that it was meant to be in just music and spam (maybe tv now too tho) in which case theres more than a 2:1) you still might not implement it?

and unless vb4 is literally coming in like 1-2 weeks, i fail to see why it cant be turned on, i mean, it takes a very little amount of time i thought..

One poll isnt going to make a decision for us, we aren't yes men just sayign yes to absolutely everything. How many people have voted, like 30? We make the decisions based on a lot of things, of course we take into account what the public want us to do and all that, but its not going to be the be all end all that makes the decision for us. So yeah, even though its a 2:1 majority, we still might not implement it.

VB4 should be coming this month which only has 3 weeks left in it anyway.

i know youre not yes men, im jsut saying that in pretty much standard politics, its known that a majority vote pretty much means that you should implement it. Yes, theres 30 people that voted, but thats because people either dont really care (in which case, dont know or yes as people would have voted no if they didnt want it) or they havnt seen the thread. Its clear that its like 10% public, 90% management. That was made clear in the other thread with the big disclaimer at the bottom...

Still, 3 weeks is a long time, and it will probably have been forgotten by then anyway, unless it comes as standard and it cant be removed, in which case, win.

Its pretty much standard politics that if theres a majority vote on something it should be implemented when the politician themself holds the referendum. If we had decided to hold a poll to gain public opinion on it, then thats more comparable toso called standard politics. I can't walk into my local council and say "I just made a poll and we all think that you should give this school a grant for such a reason" and expect them to implement it.

It won't be forgotten theres a lot of things we have to look for, and Im sure with the vast amount of members they wont let us forget. Obviously if it is forgotten by members, I think it says a lot about whether or not they really care anyway.

Make it so you can turn it on or off in user cp?

I love our smilies. I dislike yours sorry. But in regard to youtube, I don't see why not.

41 people is hardly a reliable sample of the population. Even if a hundred people voted on the poll, it still wouldn't be a reliable source of data unless ALL the criticisms that have been raised were included in the OP to ensure they fully understand what they are voting for. Anyway as Sam says, there are lots of other things that must be considered.

Maybe you should read the post that I'd made after sam had said this same thing. If people havnt voted, they obviously don't care enough to try and stop this from happening. If you don't want something, you'd vote. And actually, how many people actually use the forum a day anyway? As in actively who would actually see regular use of YouTube embedding? Probably less than 100 anyway..

What other things are there to consider? New rules? Not really, considering the same rules would apply when posting a link to the YouTube video. Which is why it's no extra work for moderators as they will have to watch the video anyway.
