irate4x4 on Youtube

Is that what did it? Was this censoring event the one I pointed out after getting the C word and capitalization of it changed? Even though the use of it was entirely appropriate in that instance. It's too bad for humors sake. I've known a few rabid Toyota fanbois that annoyed me so I could always laugh at the ribbing from DC. Did I miss him making bad Toyota fag jokes and getting censored? :laughing:

He wanted to post pictures of naked Holocaust victims, without linking or calling it 35%.

It also wasn't "obvious" You would have had to zoom in and try to tell if those few pixels were a dried up dick or nipple.

The pics had tens of people stacked up in mass graves, in black and white, and were obviously shot with a 1940 potato.

Personally I think it sucks to have lost someone who posted often, about interesting topics, and who even had a channel dedicated to old school 4x4 building, especially when Austin is trying to get people to "blue star" on here. Again I think it's unfortunate and wish it had been handled differently, like through PMs maybe. Other people on here immediately and vigorously defended our leader and his right to do whatever he wants, which he can.

Awesome, that really didn't take long! Now once the newness wears off in 28 days we can get a URL easy for people to remember. I'll post when I have the video upload done.

I agree it sucks he is gone, it was pretty obvious, and again ... it wasn't about denial or 'my site my rules' or anything else:

You're no newb, you knew the rules there and the rules here. 35% is literally how much skin shows. Historical photos with tits n dicks are no exception. So yes I removed those pics and let the discussion continue.

I've been to Auschwitz, several memorials and museums while in Germany and even in most of those places graphic pics were tastefully given a heads up before you just walked in a room.

This isn't about me editing your voice to say whether or not your right or wrong ... this isn't saying that this site's policy will be for or against your argument. It was simply to keep genitals off unexpecting members screens. There are literally a fuckton of pics of the atrocities taken by all of the allied countries ... why do you have to post the ones with nudity? Post some of the millions of others.

going forward, can we follow this?

https://www.justice.gov/criminal-ceos/citizens-guide-us-federal-law-obscenity

The three-pronged Miller test is as follows:
  1. Whether the average person, applying contemporary adult community standards, finds that the matter, taken as a whole, appeals to prurient interests (i.e., an erotic, lascivious, abnormal, unhealthy, degrading, shameful, or morbid interest in nudity, sex, or excretion);
  2. Whether the average person, applying contemporary adult community standards, finds that the matter depicts or describes sexual conduct in a patently offensive way (i.e., ultimate sexual acts, normal or perverted, actual or simulated, masturbation, excretory functions, lewd exhibition of the genitals, or sado-masochistic sexual abuse); and
  3. Whether a reasonable person finds that the matter, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.
Any material that satisfies this three-pronged test may be found obscene.

Any idea how to put that genie back in the bottle?

With all the changes I don't know if that means they 'own' it now or what. The thread is still there, guess I could post in it...

Maybe we could get a sympathetic mod to 'engage the active user base' over there to do a poll for a new image to swap it out for someone who actually cares?

Not sure, given their 'you posted it's our' attitude. For shits n giggles try posting and telling them you won't allow the use of you image anymore.

I'm on my phone in a waiting room for a meeting so I haven't really read that yet, I can dive into that later today, I'm open to changing the policy but lets not derail this thread, start a new one and put that post there :beer:

I've started setting up a Youtube channel for the site. The overall goal is more site visibility and to draw in more members. The plan is to allow members to upload their wheel'n and build videos, possibly let the stream if they are at an event.

I threw up a couple super short videos from the Ultra4 race last weekend for now, nothing uber exciting yet.

In the meantime .. the channel needs 100 followers (and to be 30 days old) so we can get a custom URL rather than this craziness: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgy...atHSD55gwmQ2hw

If you don't mind, please subscribe so we can hit that 100 mark.

Also, that banner pic on the channel is a little bland ... post up any high-res photos you wouldn't mind seeing as the background. Keep in mind they are long horizontal images.

So, how's the upload thing going to work? Will you approve each one, or is it just going to be wall to wall dwarf porn?
Click to expand...

He, or someone will have to approve each one. The jackbooted nature of youtube pretty much demands it. Music in the background probably the biggest risk of getting a copyright strike, even if its a royalty free version of music. Then theres anything else that youtube considers an offense in its puritanical playbook.

Yes, everything will upload as 'private', I'll get an email and have to approve it.

Aside from waiting 30days to be able to name the channel ... YouTube says it takes 4-6 weeks for the necessary authentication protocols for the app to be approved. :mad3:

So hurry up and wait ... it's like building a site through snail-mail :rolleyes:

In the mean time, if you have a video you want uploaded PM me and we'll figure out how you can get it to me and I can upload it. :usa:
