well as some of you may or may not know youtube seems to have screwed up beyond all of everything they have a new policy here it is:

As a community, we have come to count on each other to be entertained, challenged, and moved by what we watch and share on YouTube. We've been thinking a lot lately about how to make the collective YouTube experience even better, particularly on our most visited pages. Our goal is to help ensure that you're viewing content that's relevant to you, and not inadvertently coming across content that isn't. Here are a few things we came up with:

* Stricter standard for mature content - While videos featuring pornographic images or sex acts are always removed from the site when they're flagged, we're tightening the standard for what is considered "sexually suggestive." Videos with sexually suggestive (but not prohibited) content will be age-restricted, which means they'll be available only to viewers who are 18 or older. To learn more about what constitutes "sexually suggestive" content, click here.

* Demotion of sexually suggestive content and profanity - Videos that are considered sexually suggestive, or that contain profanity, will be algorithmically demoted on our 'Most Viewed,' 'Top Favorited,' and other browse pages. The classification of these types of videos is based on a number of factors, including video content and descriptions. In testing, we've found that out of the thousands of videos on these pages, only several each day are automatically demoted for being too graphic or explicit. However, those videos are often the ones which end up being repeatedly flagged by the community as being inappropriate.

* Improved thumbnails - To make sure your thumbnail represents your video, your choices will now be selected algorithmically. You'll still have three thumbnails to choose from, but they will no longer be auto-generated from the 25/50/75 points in the video index.

* More accurate video information - Our Community Guidelines have always prohibited folks from attempting to game view counts by entering misleading information in video descriptions, tags, titles, and other metadata. We remain serious about enforcing these rules. Remember, violations of these guidelines could result in removal of your video and repeated violations will lead to termination of your account.

The preservation and improvement of the YouTube experience is a responsibility we share. Let's work together to ensure that the YouTube community continues to thrive as a positive place for all of us.

The YouTube Team

I just think they need to make the age-restrictions better cause if I were a parent I would not want my child to see everything on youtube or they could just make a child section for youtube, but as a whole I dont think the way they are going about it is a good idea because as that guy stated ha I the profanity and all the other things you see on youtube cause its real life. Youtube is to much of a business now with the placement of ads in videos its just becoming television

the only thing that was good about youtube was the High quality videos,the rest of the changes were for worse,including widescreen in most cases

also on december 19th thought id point this out im gonna participate on the youtube blackout bassically you just boycott youtube and google by not using them for a day or two to show them that without us theres no you in youtube and itll also take a big chunk out of there revenue cause evertime someone watches or post comments they get money so by doing a boycott theyll hopefully change back so if any of you would like to show youtube whos most importent just forget that youtube exists for one day and thatll show them that us the makers and viewers are whats most important

I

'd at the vid in the first post. He was all wtf you thinking you sh1tty youtube crazy bastards... and I was all... you tell them!

So... yeah... wtf is this all about... I mean... are they restricting violence now too? Are they giving in to that piece and harmony bullcrap that won't happen ever... because as long as there are emotions they are the needs of needs and the wants of wants... and what we all want to see is sex & violence... You can try to correct me if I'm wrong... but you can't... that's what everyone likes (not the little kids yet, though...

) ... everyone likes porn & sex... sex & porn... violence on top of violence... yuo know what.. I'm gonna e-mail the staff of youtube, too... but I don't think they'll read it... they'll probably discard it.

wow. Cant believe how crappy youtube is.... xD
guess its time for another video broadcast server to step up.

EXCh33ky · « **Reply #12 on:** December 09, 2008, 11:36:04 PM »

If anyone finds a good new site to upload videos, youve got to post because the way youtube is going, its gonna be a matter of time till everyone gets super angry with it and no longer wants to use it. This is what happens when giant corporations buy out a popular venue, they turn it to poop

ATiC3 · « **Reply #13 on:** December 10, 2008, 01:42:21 AM »

um... a few people use blip.tv ... but if someone knows how to program... then maybe they should make n alternate youtube... I could help design the website. =-)

Like Negi said, go use gamerstube instead for your Mugen videos.

You guys have had like what, TWO YEARS to move over to another site. Less time spent complaining, imo.

I think overuse of profanity is dumb anyway so im glad youtube is starting to filter that stuff out.
Yeah we may have free speach as a country, but youtube is owned by people, people who get to make the rules.
