Image & Video comments can now be deleted by MODs!

Just another heads up guys - we now have deletion rights over comments on videos and images.

I have already begun to delete all 1, 2 and 3 word comments on videos and over the next few days I will go back to the beginning of the month checking and deleting comments of 3 words and less on images and videos in order to be fair to everybody..

Please make sure if you make the effort to leave a comment in future that you respect the rules or you will lose credits when your comments are removed.

Regards,
Debs

I am for one very happy the mods are in the images and video. Does look like a professional site when you go view something and all their is for comments are "Thanks for sharing".

People do it just for points, but in the long term, it would just hurt us as visitors would not take this site seriously and it would that limit the growth of VN.

That's right Debs. I noticed that many VN members are leaving short 2-3 word comments just to earn credits. Please leave some substance and relevant comments. Otherwise, expect your comments to be deleted. Sorry, let's stick to the rules here.

Thanks for the update Debs,I welcome it, but for one querry, which I have mentioned below.

That's a welcome Rule. It will not only give more structure and sense to the replies by members,but also make them appreciate the hard work, by posting a more relevant comment, than just saying -Thanks for sharing- or Great video. I was waiting for this Rule to come into effect and welcome it. Just one point I would appreciate, is that you mentioned that you are going back to the start of the month to delete 1,2,3, word comments, on posts that were already commented, in the past. Since you have started this Modification of deleting comments say from the April 15th, why not make it effective from that date, and send a message, to all members in the Broadcast mail, and also post it as a final rule on the Forum, as you have done now. This will benefit not only the new users, but also be very clear to all members as far as the effective date of this rule is concerned. This is only a suggestion, and I accept your decision as final on that issue.

All the same I full appreciate your taking this action. Better late than never - Thanks - Sachin

Sachin... that would be a good suggestion if the deletion process didn't already start. But now that some people have already lost points for comments earlier than April 15th, Mods have to continue and treat everyone equal. The rules have always been there, just Mods didn't have access to images and videos before. Having the excuse that it was ok because the moderators could not go into images and videos before is not a very good one.

First day Debs was deleting comments, I lost 6 points. But I still welcome this rule and I should have known better myself. We don't need a site full of "great video", doesn't make VN a serious site.

Thanks for your support Stephane and just to point out as well that you didn't lose any comments for saying 'great video' - unfortunately some people have made what I would consider to be fairly relevant 3 worders that had to go because it would be too subjective for me to decide which should stay and which should go - that means all 3 worders and less have gone from this months vids and will go from this months images.

I haven't had time to go through any more images today as I have been tied up with other commitments but I will continue from tomorrow with those and as mentioned in order to be fair to everyone it means that it needs to go back to beginning of the month..

We have had these discussions several times in various parts of the forum previously Sachin and I have warned people quite a few times within those various threads, as well as Andy did before me, that once we got moderating rights people would lose credits for comments of 3 words and less.

I'm not actually able to message everyone simultaneously, I can access 6,000 random members so there's no way that everyone would receive my broadcast anyway - I have used the forum and the buzz feature to try to ensure that all active people are up to date with the situation..

Regards,
Debs

Thanks for this great information Debbie. But usually when only have few words in mind, I don't care to drop comments anymore. Great job.

We just have to check the video and photos carefully before giving out some comments.

This should now alarm all those who just post a Thanks for sharing sort of a comment just to earn credits and make away without any effective contribution

I also would like to add, to our fellow and valued VN members; kindly observe our rules regarding video uploads.

Please, please, please, do not add any image (for the sake of credits) that's completely similar to the first one you've already uploaded only that it was presented from a different angle or view. It is for image evaluation and purposes still 'similar'.

Especially, images that are of no aesthetic or true 'value' whatsoever. We are sorry but we will continue to take down those images. I hope this is clear and that everyone will do their active part to contribute value to this community and let us not clog our database with unnecessary images. :)

Thanks so much!

Just a timely reminder guys as I have been going through video and image comments and finding (and deleting) lots of comments that go against t&c.

Please remember that comments have to be 4 words or more and need to be relevant - if you like something tell us why - 'thanks for sharing this' type of comments won't cut it..

cheers,
Debs

Sheila Basco,

According to the place to see what you get points for, members no longer get points for adding images and I was also told that when I sent in a support ticket because I had not gotten points for my images so I think that is irrelevant now.

As for Debs, I stopped leaving comments because every single time I used too they were always deleted which was over 1 year ago since I left comments. Now I watch and rate videos only because when my comments just get deleted it makes it a waste of time. This is why I thought you already could delete them. So who was able to then?

We could delete them for the past year William as I mentioned in the original post here - I just bumped this one to add my reminder rather than start a new one..

Unfortunately it superseded Sheila's post a bit too now that the rules have changed with regard to credits being allocated for images.

Although you are no longer leaving the kind of comments that get deleted, there are others who either didn't realise because they are new or forgot about the rule so I just wanted to point it out again to save people wasting their time writing comments that are going to be deleted (those that are less than 4 words or not relevant to the topic / image / video they are commenting on)..
