As y'all probably know by now (and if not you will do in a minute) there has been a bit of a problem with excessive embedding of music videos in threads other than the embedded music video thread. Whilst we all love to hear new music it is a real problem for people who don't have a fast connection or are using mobiles to access BL. They make pages take forever to load and they interrupt conversations. As such, it's been decided that they only belong in their designated thread from now on. Embedding of other things is not such an issue currently so that will still be allowed - just think before posting and it will stay that way. Music videos have become too much and have well and truly worn out their welcome though so it's bye-bye to embedded music videos (unless posted in the relevant thread that is).

Given this is a change in policy there will be a short period of grace where misposted embeds will simply be removed on sight. After that period warnings will be issued for those who haven't gotten the message. Ultimately infractions will be used if it has to come to that but I'm sure it won't. It's not the biggest issue in the world and certainly not anything anybody should need that level of "encouragement" to accept. Spare a thought for those whose connection doesn't allow for embedded video links. They are as entitled to Gibber as much as anybody else. Courtesy costs nothing - keep it to the relevant threadp it to please folks.
 
Shambles would like to add that FoolsGold is exempt from this rule, and we look forward to seeing more fantastic video's of Avril lavigne and Satanic rock music soon. With lyrics, naturally;)
 
Raas needs to reload pages more often if he actually thinks that his post bears any relation to reality. Alternatively he should lay off the gin and smack and buy some Sudoko books cos I hear they're good for memory, comprehension and recall.
 
Bumping this thread for the benefit of the few members we have left who haven't yet abused this rule.
