Re: Call to Ban YouTubers
Hey guys lighten up if you don't like the poster scroll on by no harm no foul. It's not like YOU are paying for the bandwidth. By the way in case you did not know it, this forum has an "ignore" option. Access from the settings panel > My Account > Edit Ignore List - add the user names of the users you wish to ignore and viola no more posts from that individual. Be your own censor instead of banning people because YOU don't find their posts worthwhile. Others do. Choice it makes the world go round.

Re: Call to Ban YouTubers
I use the ignore feature but I still feel members shouldn’t be using this forum to spam their YouTube in the first place.
Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

Re: Call to Ban YouTubers
Part of the problem I see is that people come here to learn about stuff. People posting their youtube videos here for more views when they post inaccurate information, sponsored information, is kind of insulting to everyone who shares their experiences and passes on knowledge to others.

I agree with Will 100% on this.
There are "How to" videos like Mike P posts up, and then there are "I'm plugging this product" vids that are rather useless.
If I am interested in new product, I have already read everything about it from the manufacturer. (And of course they are going to talk it up like it's the best thing ever.) I then get on AGO and ask the forum full of great guys & girls that have real world experience with it.
The last thing I want to see is another "commercial" about it.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

I agree with this.
Yes, while I respect the idea that one can ignore or not read the threads we don’t like, it goes against the grain of what this site is all about to simply post an infomercial to make money off of (I assume their YouTube views = cash in their pocket) and then disappear from the forum u til the next filming is complete.
Other members who show off their detailing work for those to see the end result of numerous products is legit and discussing their experiences when asked is massively helpful to those considering products. But that’s not what the two aforementioned detailers are intending in any way.

Re: Call to Ban YouTubers
I actually don’t mind the Youtubers like Pan. Every once in a while they come up with an impartial endorsement for a particular product or a technique that we may find useful. I also enjoy looking at their garage setups. I do agree that this forum is not the platform for hawking their products or services.
