DU YouTube Group getting freeped

[SaveOurDemocracy]

http://www.youtube.com/group/DUTube

Someone's been busy adding objectionable videos. What a sick bunch of vicious drones they are. I hope the videos they added will be purged.

1. We have a group?

[Viva_La_Revolution]

3. MySpace and now YouTube

What HAVE we become?! :(










mainstream. :D

[SaveOurDemocracy]

4. Just in the last day or two ...

The problem is that anyone who joins can add videos and no-life low-lifes are doing their dirty work.

6. Republicans have a lot of money to spend.

I've yet to see them spend it wisely.

[Wonk]

2. OMG! I'm SHOCKED! Who could ever have imagined this might happen?

:sarcasm:

[KingFlorez]

5. They are so stupid

[Stardust]

7. Can't we flag their vids as inappropriate?

[originalpckelly]

8. There has to be a way to kick people out of your group...

along with their videos

[originalpckelly]

9. The abortion movies are against the youtube no gross out policy:

"YouTube is not a shock site. Don't post gross-out videos of accidents, dead bodies and stuff like that. This includes war footage if it's intended to shock or disgust."

[originalpckelly]

10. I just flagged them as inappropriate under other terms of use...

violations. Hopefully those will be removed from the entire site now.

[Brian Stevens]

17. Be careful

Now I have seen Olbermann videos that have been flagged as well. This is becoming a YouTube WAR.

[Stardust]

11. Please see the Juggler video --it will lift your spirits. Take your mind

off all this sad shit we find ourselves in and just really remove your mind to something equally as important. And the background music is sublime.

[Sydnie]

13. Holy Moley!

I am a juggler - made a living at it for a while - and I know just how hard what he did in the video is. My hat is off to this guy. To not only time it as well as he did, but to not drop a beat or a ball in almost 5 minutes ... he is a juggling god!

Thanks for sharing that!

[Stardust]

20. Glad you liked it!

[NMMNG]

12. It is in their nature to destroy

They are incapable of doing good, so all they can do is taint and destroy things.

[LTR]

14. Okay, here's the deal

I set up the group on a whim, since there were all these cool videos being linked here and I thought it would be a good idea to combine them in one spot. So I created this 'unofficial' group.

Yes, it is an 'unofficial' group, in that it has no official connection to DU proper, except that we all kinda have DU in common, right?

So, almost immediately, the 101st Cowardly Keyboard Commandos start spamming it with RW crap and other nasty stuff. As a result, I set the group to add videos only on approval by me. I really hate to do this, because I don't want to be seen as some arbiter of taste. But if this is the only way to get rid of these worthless losers who have absolutely nothing better to do with their time than obsess over what we're doing, then so be it. Hopefully this will encourage these dorks to do something more constructive with their lives, like get jobs and communicate with members of the opposite sex. I mean, some of these spammers, according to their profiles, are in their 40s!

:wtf:

Another irony is that quite a few are between 19-25. Why are these armchair warriors doing battle behind computer screens? They should walk their talk, enlist and fight for the country they love so much. But they're all a bunch of tough-talking chickenshits with low self-esteem anyway so fat chance of that happening, right?

15. Can you delete the original group and start over?

[Sydnie]

16. There is the option of invitation only if a new group is started

then there would be no spamming but it would be harder to join.

[chat_noir]

19. Since this is a DU group, we could pm you with our YouTube names

That way you would know who to admit to the new YouTube group. You could still keep the option to ok videos before they are posted as a precaution.

A "DU" group shouldn't have any of those despicable videos. Please start a new group.

[Generic Other]

18. It now says you must have videos approved before they are posted

so this may prevent that sort of thing. The group has grown hasn't it? Very cool.
