It's not that bad but I'm not using a mobile so I guess it doesn't really matter how not bad it is for folk who it's not bad for.

I think this is key.

Fair point, well made - even if I do say so myself =D

Can't - or won't - put up too much of an argument cos my main point of contention is that I quite like having the option to embed if it seems like the best option for whatever reason I have for posting it. I do try to think whether or not an embedded link is actually worth the extra bit of load time and (obviously) conclude that it is when I do. But presumably everybody else who embeds feels the same way so don't really have a leg to stand on and so will hop-it.
 
Well knock, he lost a nice post that was not aggressive but witty, he had been 30minutes to write it, and he was quoting raas and SHM :D


^I think that is what he is sayin
 
Just want to say a proper sorry I think I may have been one of those guilty of embedding a vid when I shouldn't have. Will try harder <3 Blame it on current pain meds and other self administration. I have terrible broadband speed here in sticksvillle so can totally appreciate the reasoning.

The reason I suggest embeds should be kept to their own threads is so people can then choose not to view them simply by not going to those threads.

I can see how that might seem a bit extreme. But it's a really easy rule to understand and follow.

Just because it's easy to understand and follow, doesn't mean it's the best option. Too many rules like this end up spoiling this place imo. This reasoning may be useful for really important crucial stuff like HR, but for embedding, which is pretty low in importance in the scheme of things, it's silly to make decision on that reasoning. It just leads to creating too much policy.

People dont tend to embed in HR threads, so that's not a worry really.
People tend to embed in social threads. I think embedding daily trivial stuff in Gibberings and a few other threads, like movies and TV is a valid process in what makes those threads function well, and should therefore be allowed. I just scanned the some of the TV thread on my phone and some of gibberings from a couple of days ago, and the embeds didnt slow it down.

I think it'll be a loss to those threads to 'ban embedding' in them just because it's clear cut and easy.

If you look at the problem in terms of WHAT embeds are causing the influx and cluttering, you'll find it's mainly music ones being randomly posted in all threads, and if you took the stance of NO MUSIC embedding allowed in anywhere but the 'Music Embedding Allowed' thread, the problem would largely be solved by that much alone. AND it's a clear cut and simple to understand stance.

I have faith that 99% of EADD would be able to follow this rule consistently, but it only takes that one guy who doesn't listen/comprehend to go post 10 music videos in various threads in one sitting and the whole rule is redundant.

It's a good rule, but I think we'll have to give out warnings and infractions for people who can't follow it to avoid the above happening more than once.

So if everyone's ooooook with that. No complaining when someone goes on a temp ban for posting music video embeds in the non-embed thread!
 
So long as the rule is just a slap on the wrists for first offenders, ie no points. Let's not get too draconian. And I'm someone who detests all the embeds coz they make my IPad crash all the time.
 
You can't just give out infinite warnings; people just realise there's no repercussions and carry on as usual. Tbh an infraction seems like a slap on the wrist. A 1 day ban seems like a slap on the wrist.

If you're still getting it wrong after 3-4 infractions and you're getting longer bans, then pay attention (or stop fighting the system).
 
Oh lol.

Sorry, I'm tired. Standard bluelight rules apply, basically.
