What's the Problem?

What is really sad is when people are misled to believe they can learn the truth or at least explore possibilites of truth in a forum like ATS! When it seems they are hiding the truth, that is sad!

Its sad people have no idea how to make a proper thread.

Maybe ATS needs to change it rules because there is simply so many dumb folk coming on now who simply are not capable of creating a proper thread.

What is sadder, too see is when someone starts insulting someone over it, who may have made a mistake on accident!

Two problems.

(1) The video had already been posted.

(2) From the T&C:

15k.) Video links/embeds: You will not embed or Post a link to a video without a reasonable description of its content and why it interests you, is germane to the topics discussed on the Websites or the topic of an existing thread should you post it in a reply to an existing thread.

We frequently close duplicate threads with a link to an existing thread. A thread started with nothing more than a link to a video will be deleted. The member will be (and in this case, was) advised why.

Thanks, know it is sad, however would think you need a law degree to to interpret that number 2

Again thanks again for resolving, however if you can leave it open please, as really we have only addressed the problem that arises from a problem that could be an issue, and that is the way it gets us here, i.e., the thread viewers are not alerted, some who may not have ever read or care to read the TOS, and as observers not be aware, as well as new members, who really just click, "yes" like me, who have not ever read the TOS or care too...

Now I am getting off topic, as I know, that I am a part of the problem so, no need to point it out, as sure I am not alone...

So solution wise, think as mentioned earlier, could be as that simple as some suggested with briefing for viewers and comments, etc, to avoid any unexplained disappearances, as we got enough people to fill that role and don't need threads vanishing on us here or anywhere as a redirect or link on the 404 page be a start besides nothing, as some may know and those that don't going to be neurosis to some extent, and very predictable.

This thread is closed and is automatically being terminated in 72 hours (or so)
For the following reasons...
