Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
"you think that videos are inherently inferior to words." I don't really understand this, but I'll try to explain. I personally do not think that videos are inferior to words. The thing is, most videos are just "Hey look I found this on youtube" and then say a bit about it. Henece, I usually put them in Othertoid. If the video was both irrelevant
and unfunny then I would throw it in Failtoid under the heading "I don't want to watch your shitty video".
VGSWID and RevRants are completely different. It's clear that Jim and Anthony put a lot of effort into their videos and if they were regular community members, then I would be putting them in Topsauce every time. But as far as I'm aware, no one in the community does things like that and so I just put everything (other than "shitty videos") in the normal video category.
I was referring to videos made by the user, not random videos found on youtube.
Also, I made this video for my previous internet site. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qomdAXw363M Would something like this fall under othertoid, gametoid, or failtoid. (sorry for whoring the video, just wondering)
Thanks for the recaps Anonymouse... and OMG! I LOVE that last picture!!!!
I would never fail a user made video (unless it was truly rubbish.) As long as you gave a brief explanation of it, then it would be fine. And if you gave a very detailed explanation then it could end up under Topsauce!
@Sadie: That would be the whole of the recap team... will you be doing the honours?
If you could add it as a Dec. 5 one that'd be sweet. I had no idea there were community recaps and this is pretty bitching.
@and0: Yeah, that's just one of the quirks of the c-blogs. The timestamp for your post is determined by when you open the editing page of a new post. I would recommend writing your posts in a text editor (Notepad, Notetab) prior to making a new post in your browser, then just cut and paste to avoid this in the future.
