It would be nice if there was a way by which threads started with just a video could be outlawed.

I’d say it depends on the video but threads with what looks like a snappy topic but then turn into a 20 minute (or more) video of someone pretending to have a TV channel waffling on and on without getting to the point right away are message board cancer.
And that goes for both sides of the political coin.

Censorship huh? You'd fit right in with Florida Republicans.
(Heh heh, that'll rile 'im up good.)

They (he) should mention at least one part of the video. Because sometimes the videos are interesting (sometimes).

Wasn't aimed at anyone in particular because many do it, just that they tend to block up boards and are posted merely to back up a pre conceived opinion and usually the source is just a you tube video of someone the OP agrees with. If they had a covering explanation and a kind of "watch 2 minutes 30 for relevant bit" then they wouldn't be so annoying, they just block up the board and other more relevant stuff slips off the front page so gets less traction. Maybe another location could be found for those that enjoy watching them. |

There is so little of substance among the topics on the board that the videos sure don't block up the boards for me. |

Exactly, it's about 1 in 20 threads and yet it "blocks up the boards". |
