Okay, from now on, this is the place to put any MySpace, Youtube, Google Video, or whatever other video clips from video sites you find on the net in this one thread if you wish to do so. Please do not post any clips from people who have identified themselves as being Under 18 in their profiles on any of those sites as that might get us into trouble. Any links to obvious and identified under 18 stuff will be promptly deleted, and you will recieve a warning. If in doubt, check the person's profile before posting a link to that clip. If they say they're under 18, don't post a link to that clip; we don't want it here.
Please note: Clips that worked at the time that someone posted a link to them might not work by the time you get to them. We expect this to become a long thread, therefore members of Staff are not under any obligation to go through this entire thread to make sure each link to each clip still works.
Please also note that people who post clips of themselves sneezing on Youtube, myspace, or wherever else are not sneeze fetishists and do not post it for us to get off on, but rather they post it to be goofy. Therefore, we ask that you please do not post comments to their video clips as that will get us into a lot of trouble. Obviously, these sites are outside of the forum and therefor outside of our jurisdiction; however, we want to make it abundantly clear that we strongly condemn posting any kinds of comments to sneeze videos posted on Youtube, MySpace, etc. and are very uncomfortable when we see people doing so, as that makes us all look like creepy perverted freaks and draws bad attention toward sneeze fetishism in general.
Edit as of October 13, 2007:
You guys win by a narrow margin so the thread stays...for now anyway. However, posting youtube links to material that has been identified in the person's profile to be under the age of 18 will have more serious repercussions than before. As of now, the following penalties will be applied regardless of the person, his/her status on this board, how long they've been here, or anything else.
1st offense: Warning level shoots up to 10%. If warning level is already at 10% or higher, then it is taken to the next warning level after that.
2nd offense: Warning level shoots up to 20%. If warning level is already at 20% or higher, then it is taken to the next warning level after that. Mandatory three-day suspension.
3rd offense: Warning level shoots up to 30%. If warning level is already at 30% or higher, then it is taken to the next warning level after that. Mandatory seven-day suspension, and placed on moderator preview for one month.
4th offense: Warning level shoots up to 40%. If warning level is already at 40% or higher... etc. Mandatory fourteen-day suspension, and placed on moderator preview indefinitely. This means you will *NEVER AGAIN* be able to post something without it passing through moderator approval.
After that, well, we tried giving you all these chances so if need be, we'll probably have to remove you from the community entirely. If this many people can't bother to read stickies and follow them, then we need to up the disciplinary measures. It should also be noted that users who are still pending and break this rule will have their validation seriously delayed, if we choose to validate them at all at this point.
The above measures will also be enforced in the event that the person's age is identified as 18 now, but--for example--the video was made two years ago, as that would still be a video clip of a 16-year-old sneezing.
As always, we reserve the right to remove any link to any video if we suspect the person might be under the age of 18 even if their profile does not identify them as such and this will be done at our discretion.
As always, the staff cannot catch every violation on their own, so use of the report a post function to notify us of violations would be appreciated.
