Thread: When Posting Videos ...

... please make sure that the language in the video conforms to this site's criteria for acceptable behavior. All videos should be "family friendly" and "nothing that a child cannot view" (or hear.)

If somebody says a naughty word in a post, I can delete the word and leave the rest of the post. I can't do that with a video. My only option is to delete the video, and I don't like doing that. I've had to delete several videos in the last few months because of bad language. In each case, the video was posted by a new member who was not aware of the site's language rules.

Also, I would prefer that videos be embedded. If you don't know how to do that, I would be happy to embed the video for you.

Update: I read every post, but my limit is one minute on a video. If it's 1:01, I'm not watching it. If Kim Kardashian posts a video declaring her love for me, she'd better do it in under one minute. So, if somebody watches a longer video and notices inappropriate content, please let me know.
