Guideline 1:
"..or advertising is not allowed in any capacity."
So I click on the link, the first thing I see is 3 ads, all about a handgun. After 15 seconds of advertisement I get a video with the perfect situation for exactly that handgun, self-defense from some maniac with a machete, literally hacking through the door. Do you see how that looks like blatant advertisement?
That being said, after I just refreshed the page I got an ad for a sniper rifle, which is clearly not related to the video and pretty useless indoors. So yeah I was too quick to accuse /u/Codewow of spamming but that's what it looked like from where I'm sitting.
"..or advertising is not allowed in any capacity."
The video was not an advertisement. That rule does not mean that the site can not have ads. You know that, don't be pedantic.
Do you see how that looks like blatant advertisement?
No. I don't. I don't care about the site, as long as it does not break rules. The video itself is clearly not an ad. The site does nothing that you don't see on Youtube.
I'll continue to try to explain if you still don't get it. But you do not come across as a dummy, so I think you are willfully missing the point.
And 'abuse', really? That's pushing it.
Did you try to engage him in a conversation about whether this was acceptable? Or did you just attack and sling mud?
I think the word 'abuse' applies.
I apologize if I am being a bit harsh with you. But it really bugs me when I see contributors get chased off by confused, mistaken people that attack when they should discuss. I doubt it will be a problem in this case, but consider if you started submitting posts. Would you continue to post if you were getting random hostility like your comment?
Sometimes contributors get sick of that kind of behavior, and all of Voat loses when they get chased off over a silly misunderstanding, or someones agenda. And it is almost always someone with a very low scp that does the chasing.
So please, in future, do your homework first. And then try discussion before belittling them.
How about you stop blowing everything out of proportion? I told you you were right and apologised to OP, you're acting as if I just tried to rape his mom. I'm just another anonymous asshole on the internet, you shouldn't give a fuck about what I have to say and neither should OP. If anything, you are the one stirring up trouble here.
