Opening a thread with nothing but a video and not one written word

[Zebra]

I think that is impolite.
what do you think?

Also, does that not violate the board rules on opening posts?

I mean, I got called out on my recent first opening post and rightly so.

But I don't see that happening across the board.

 

[Zebra]

yes, it is also against the rules.
Besides being impolite

Not everybody wants to listen a long time to some boring video without any transcript

From the forum rules regarding creating a new thread:

"When starting a new thread, please first check and confirm that there are no current threads on the same topic.

Please select the forum that best relates to the subject matter of your topic.

Opening posts require more than a "Copy and Paste" with a link.

You need to include relevant on-topic material of your own."

Regardless of the fact that it is crystal clear, it still has to be repeated on a daily basis.

Thank you to those who get it, and send reports when they see the guidelines not being followed.

It happens again and again, that one must listen to a video

It's against the rules, so those threads would be closed.

With the exception of downstairs AKA the Badlands.

Correct. We don't care much about those areas, just the main forums.

Lazy posters with no original thoughts of their own.

It's against the rules. We'll deal with them.

But you as the forum membership need to report it!

Against the rules at least in most of USMB forums.

But anytime somebody posts an obviously cut and pasted huge wall of text or posts a video without a good written summary of what the video shows, I pretty much always just scroll over those posts.

There is one poster who I usually agree with who does this and I sure wish he wouldn't.
