MOD NOTE: TROPES BLANKET-BANNED FROM HAVING VIDEO EXAMPLES:

- 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.

I don't get why those videos can't all be compiled into a single video. They all seem to be from the same episode, maybe even the same scene. I also still have concerns about this being fetish motivated.

I have concerns about potential fetish motivation as well.

That, and I also think it's a form of Fan Myopia or general fan-wankage, rather than normal entry pimp behavior. I'm an entry pimp for several works, and though I've given several of those works videos, I try not to overstuff them, and even then most of them have less videos than any of the more popular works do. There's a line between pimping a favorite work and wonking about that work, and multiple videos of the same source on the same trope feels like wonkage. Who reading Balloon Belly will want to see seven videos from the same source, regardless of what that source is? I certainly wouldn't.
Variety is the lifeblood of this site, and issues like this take away that variety.

And this once again brings up the fetish issue because... people with very precise fetishes, that's who.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
That’s the thing, though—it’s technically not against the rules.
Come to think of it, duplicate videos for multiple tropes isn’t listed as being against the rules, either.

It might become the rules if this happens again, though.
Discarded and Feeling Blue
Right, it's not against the rules yet because nobody's made a rule yet and videos are still new territory.

The Rapid-Fire Interrupting video from Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony is sideways.

The "I HATE YOU!" video on "The Reason You Suck" Speech (from The Nostalgia Critic) has this description, but I question if the bolded section is relevant as it's not even shown in the video and isn't relevant to the trope at hand (I'm mostly iffy cuz this scene attracts a lot of complaining on the wiki):
"He rips into Hyper after she (again) won't leave him alone in Christmas Story II, angrily pointing out that being kidnapped and stalked doesn't put him in a loving mood, but she pulls a Wounded Gazelle Gambit and he's made to apologize to her."

Just watched the video; I agree, it serves no purpose there.
I've noticed some videos linking character pages as sources. (e.g. "One handed grip, deconstructed" on One-Handed Zweihänder) Okay or nah?

The upload form specifically mentions that's allowed.

Yes, I can't remember where it says so (maybe on the uploader?) but a character page is considered a "media source" in addition to the work page.

Ah, I see.

I think the example for Eye Catch titled "MonMusu" from Monster Musume is too NSFW, mostly because the third in the compilation is a fairly detailed Panty Shot. It would need to be further cut before being reuploaded.
I wouldn't be surprised if some of the other video examples from this series had similar lewdness issues.

Those are denim shorts, not panties. If anything, this site is far too prudish.

The point is that I can see her pussy bulge. That feels a bit... much.

Just watched the video. Yeah that needs to go. The level of detail has me suspicious about one-handed troping.
What is one-handed troping?
"Listen up, Marina, because this is SUPER important. Whatever you do, don't eat th“ “DON'T EAT WHAT?! Your text box ran out of space!”
Considering how skeevy the series is, probably 75% of the page is one-handed troping. That said, it still has enough of a plot that it's not cuttable per P5.
I brought up in the P5 thread that some of the other video examples are also a bit awkward. In particular I pointed out "Dinner, Bath, or Sex" Offer, Headbutt Thermometer, and Corner of Woe. That's only from the first page though, since it is overloaded with video examples.
That's when you trope with only one hand, because the other one is busy doing things.
If ya know what I mean.

Term used on the P5 thread (and other threads) that refers to when tropers are adding things that they are obviously aroused by as they are adding them. "One-handed" is a euphemism for...things that I would rather not discuss here.
I am concerned that the person who added that video may have added it knowing how NSFW it is, and may have had, well, other motivations for adding it.

I see. It basically means pervo-troping.
Maybe all of those tropes should be No Video Examples, Please?
Corner of Woe is not a fanservice trope, and it is admittedly probably just me being overtly bluenosey. But I kinda raised an eyebrow at the fact the video consists entirely of the characters discussing their bra/bust sizes.
