If you post "edit when done", it's a ban for spamming. No exceptions.

this is such a f..king stupid rule, it is a forum. WHY THE f..k DOES ANYONE CARE. People say that people who post EWD to get a first post need to get a life. YOU need to get a life if you care that someones posts ewd. IT shouldnt matter, if it seriously bugs you, then you need to get a life. Honest opinion.

DUMB rule

And you need to get a life for caring that we care.

And so on, ad infinitum...

This makes sense..and people stop asking "can i say..." when the meaning is the same, ur just trying to bend the rules. You realize this rule is for "EWD" but is not limited to the words... I'm sure if the meaning is the same as "EWD" then the ban will be the same

This is a good idea...however, please try to enforce the recent EWD's...I didn't post an EWD and I was banned for three days. I'm assuming a mod saw an old EWD I posted before this rule came into affect and banned me. Whatever, just saying don't throw bans around to people who actually try to contribute to this community.

Moderation team does not need "instructing".
I think I found the reason.

I've had two 3 day bans. One was for that post, and the other one I don't know why, that's the one I'm wondering about...and "the team" definitely needs some instructing if things like this happen to people like me. I don't incite anything, don't insult anyone, and I try to help people out at the montage/video help forum a lot. The first ban was justified, but the second ban was for absolute nothing. I wasn't even given a reason like the first one.

BTW. I hit the edit button after I watched the video and was already banned. About 15 minutes passed, the time it took me to DL the video and watch it entirely...

You never receive a ban for nothing.
The EWD is a house rule going back to summer 2005 that has never gone away. It is just being enforced again. Simply - In an announced video thread, if you are not posting your response/comments/critiques AFTER watching the video, then that's a problem.

If you post a 'placeholder' post that is anything (EWD/DL now/will watch/sounds cool/great I heard about this/et cetera et cetera) in a video thread so you can edit it later, you are breaking the rule, which happens to be Z's rule anyways, as it always has been, period, end of story.

The reason for this is simple - as soon as a video is annnounced, everybody and their brother floods into the thread, in an attempt to be 'as early' a poster as possible. Posting first or before anyone else is not a contest - Announced threads end up being 4 to 7 pages of nothing but "will watch" and "edit when done" and "Ill have a look" or any other creative bozo-esque responses.

Simply - Announced threads are not your personal 'contest', they are for the video content and your responses only.

Bottom line - your mouse cursor should go nowhere near the edit button in an announced thread - ever. Watch the video if you want, then post comments AFTER watching.

If you don't like the rule, you need to convince Z otherwise - which I don't recommend as this has been a rule for over three years - Z pays the bills for H3F, and as moderators we simply keep the rules in order. This isn't debatable, negotiable, flexible, producible as legal tender, or variable. In fact, it used to bother Z so much that he used to actually add "EWD posts = ban" in announced video threads. So yeah, he's that serious about it, and it's his site. Case closed.

The end.

Don't argue with RVideo... you will lose, plain and simple.
