MOD NOTE: TROPES BLANKET-BANNED FROM HAVING VIDEO EXAMPLES:
- Attempted Rape
- Bound and Gagged
- Epileptic Flashing Lights
- Jump Scare
- Nocturnal Emission
- Pooping Where You Shouldn't
- Potty Failure
- Sensory Abuse
- Screamer Prank
It's been discussed a lot at the Video Uploading thread that a lot of poor videos are slipping through the cracks, and that a clean-up effort is necessary if we are to combat the problem.
Common issues are:
- Videos spoiling major events from a work
- Videos not actually fitting the trope they're attached to
- Videos in which the important part doesn't happen until halfway through, with the length being ultimately pointless
- Videos that use the entire work, breaking copyright; this can be done either with one video showcasing an entire short video, or multiple videos that add up to using the entire work in piecemeal.
- Videos lacking the proper media source, or any media source at all.
- General quality problems, like audio issues or artifacting.
So, we've got our work cut out for us; but this is at least a place to discuss problems and come to solutions.

Please take video moderation requests to this thread.

Okay, I've taken the video to the moderation thread, thanks.
I don't know that work either, and I thought the same thing, that it was a mother upset with who her son was with. But I also don't speak the language and was relying on the subtitles... which didn't seem to be in sync with the amount of talking going on in the scene, so I'm not sure the subtitles were capturing everything that was being said.
If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.Thanks for the reply. I'd ask the troper who uploaded the video myself but they are a bounced user. I have decided to consult Spanish speakers on other threads.
Macron's notesOn "Joan's Dream" on Erotic Dream, please add The Immodest Orgasm as a secondary trope as the video shows Joan moaning Abe's name loudly during her sex dream.
Sorry! My URL autofill must've gone to the wrong thread!

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.For the same video on Erotic Dream, also add Asleep in Class (as the whole sequence happens while Joan is asleep in math class), and Talking in Your Sleep (as Joan passionately calls out Abe's name in her sleep) as secondary tropes.
Bigotry will NEVER be welcome on TV Tropes.I can do and but these requests go into the Video Moderation thread.

The video here has a voice over from a review, and edits from what I presume are her own, but the "media source" and the description for the video doesn't list her as part of it. Only links to 4 Kids, Once Piece and the related arc.
Do we know who the speaker is?
Most of the videos in Totally Spies! all use the name: "Totally Spies!"
This isn't helpful in case there’s a need to update any of those videos but I have no idea what to rename them to.
Any ideas?
A lot better now though a few repeated the same title. Thanks anyway.

"I just need one of you to come here to give your life to the sun god. It will be for the monkey city's glory."Hi, as someone who had uploaded a good number of those videos, I'll take care of the titles. Stand by please!
Edit: It's no problem. Better that than all of them with the same name at least.

I have things to do and daddy issues to repress!I've asked this before on "Ask the Tropers" and was directed here: do we need any examples of Squick given its possible disgust nature, and even if someone is simply reacting to (offscreen) squick, wouldn't that qualify more as Screaming at Squick or Take Our Word for It?
I can't deal with these forums; they anger up the blood too much.None of the videos qualify for Screaming at Squick nor are they bad enough to justify a ban.
I suppose we can remove Squick as a trope for them though because it's an Audience reaction and there's no "audience". I don't think Squick should be used as YMMV trope and there's some confusion on how it should actually be used as it's covered by multiple tropes but that's for TRS
Macron's notesOK, I brought this up in the Video Moderations thread but I'll say it again. The New Hope example for My Significance Sense Is Tingling looks horribly pixelated even when set to 1080p.
Art Museum Curator and frequent helper of the Web Original deprecation project~AudioSpeaks2 As you already brought it up on the video moderations thread, there's no need to bring it here. You will have to wait for a mod to review the video. For future reference, you should go this thread first if you want more feedback.
Macron's notesAlright, got it.
Art Museum Curator and frequent helper of the Web Original deprecation projectIs the time limit for video examples still two minutes and thirty seconds? Because the Villain Song example for UglyDolls outclocks that at 3:52.
Yes, that's still the limit. I rejected that video.

"Superman kneels before Zod" (Kneel Before Zod, Superman II) is windowboxed. Additionally, it lists a creator—Terence Stamp—as a source.
EDIT: Speaking of windowboxed Superman videos, "Superman Spins the Earth" (Spin the Earth Backwards, Superman: The Movie).

I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.Ok I’m not sure on this one but…
DBZ - You Mean Kuririn!? (It's under VideoExamples.Dragon Ball currently though I do intend to have that source be axed)
This one do we be consistent with the English dub of Krillin or is it fine to leave it as the Japanese dub of Kuririn? The video is in Japanese but with English sub so I am not sure if we go by the language of the video or we must turn it into English because we're in an English site.
"I just need one of you to come here to give your life to the sun god. It will be for the monkey city's glory."I should probably ask: a lot of the videos listed on Videos Needing Review cite quality issues like being too blurred, too long or too long and blurred. Example: "Star Wars: A New Hope" on Curbstomp Battle - this one has complaints of the sound being pitched up and the video being a minute too long.
Now obviously a video can't be edited after it's uploaded, so what'd be the best way of solving this? Would it be acceptable for, say, someone else to upload the same video but with the issues fixed and then petition to get the video with issues removed or something?
Edited by Snipertoaster on Jul 27th 2023 at 10:16:53 AM
Yes, uploading a quality upgrade of an existing video and asking for the old video to be d rejected is fine.
Macron's notesThe subtitles themselves use "Kuririn".
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.Heroic Build has a clip from Dragon Ball Z Abridged but the trope seems like it's limited to traditional western styled superheroes.
No. Heroic Build does allow non-western themed heroes.
"I just need one of you to come here to give your life to the sun god. It will be for the monkey city's glory."
^ That's fine.
I think the description for "Que haces besando a la lisiada" on Bullying the Disabled is off.
I was just going to fix the "his" pronoun to her because it was clearly a typo but then I decided to actually watch the video first....and I don't think the description matches the context of the video? I don't know the work (and I don't know much Spanish) so I can only go by the English subtitles but it looks like a woman being upset that her son is with a girl in a wheelchair. I could be wrong but eh.
