Has DUs YouTube Group been hacked?
I was just looking at the views on my YouTube clips and noticed something odd. All of them had been rated down, yet there were no new ratings, and the numbers/ratings were normal if you clicked on the links. Only the click on screen indicated the ratings had changed. I had high ratings on 3 of my videos. Now, they say they are at much lower rating. I checked the DU group and sure enough, all our ratings had been lowered even though the clips still had the original ratings. How did that happen?

Anyone know what's going on? Looks like someone is trying to make our video clips look less highly rated than they actually are. The only ones they seemed unable to change were those with 100s of ratings. WTF?

1. Happened to all of my videos
Almost all of them had their votes go down to 2 stars.

2. But if you go to the actual video the numbers haven't changed
Also, the number of views hasn't changed.

That's very fishy.

3. bpilgrim's No Bravery video Flagged as Inapropriate?
:wtf: I clicked the confirm just to see if he had changed anything about the video, which he hadn't. Now, I can't seem to see where I can reset it to get the warning for inappropriate videos anywhere in the site. (I don't want to see abortion films, even by accident, for example)

Why would that video ever be labeled as inappropriate?

You're right. That's fishy as hell.
