So my video hub was locked again... by SamuelJacob9 May 11, 2017 at 8:05 AM UTC

So, after posting content of my videos to my video hub which was in the OFF TOPIC category for 4 MONTHS, with several mods and staff members commenting on my thread about my videos, it gets locked. I do not understand, was there a rule change? and if so why did nobody alert me of this? Anyways...  Can I please have a detailed explanation on why my video hub was locked after 4 months. I did not say "JOIN THIS MINECRAFT SERVER!", I was just posting what people wanted and what people thought I was good at.

I believe your topic was locked because of their policy of "No promoting other Minecraft servers". Honestly, I don't understand why posting videos on servers that have 10,000 times our population is a rule but there you go.

Well 2 things.
- I have been doing it for months, many staff members said it was okay.
- Who doesn't know Hypixel lol.

Let me explain this to you again. The Rules state the following:
"Linking to content that promotes other Minecraft services. This includes, but is not limited to, other Minecraft servers and their corresponding websites and social media content that promotes other Minecraft servers"
A.3 General Etiquette and Behavior 

Your content on your video hub was not Avicus content. You can't put videos on other servers unless it's really minor for example Montages with 90% Avicus 10% other.

"many staff members said it was okay."
I would like to know who said it was okay? I locked your previous Video Hub and you went ahead and created another.

'"Who doesn't know Hypixel"
Everyone knows Hypixel, but still not allowed on our forums.

"I would like to know who said it was okay? I locked your previous Video Hub and you went ahead and created another."

Well they are wrong... Look like they have to look back at the rules

For the moment I have archived his thread and will talk to other staff about the matter

why is it not ok the share your content that you made with the community? so what if its on other servers, a server like hypixel about 75% of avicus go on that server already and 99.99% know the server. i would understand if it was old avicus that had 500 players, but the server now has like 50. why do we have to be so harsh with rules for a server with 50 players on it, its not like he is obviously advertising telling people to go on hypixel. 
please tell me how people sharing their content with the community effects avicus?

I don't decide the rules all I do is enforce them. Don't blame me.

im not blaming you im just wondering why other mods dont enforce them and why this rule is still in set

kon333 May 11, 2017 at 2:05 PM UTC

Kinda bad tbh, not your fault shadow for reinforcing the rule. But It is called "off topic" for a reason.

He's not promoting hypixel.. (Promoting would be "Join _____________ for 1v1 competitive duels")

Lokigh May 11, 2017 at 4:05 PM UTC

To be honest you don't play avicus too much anymore (https://gyazo.com/fb09d83745672d920e905777fa03ec5f this gyazo shows you haven't played 'properly' in over 20 days) and like 85% of your videos are non avicus related so it was pretty justified your video hub was locked. Basically just using the avicus forums for advertising and views whilst playing other serves :(

Padlet May 11, 2017 at 5:05 PM UTC

Seems like people don't understand that "promoting" isn't always like "hey come join this server!". Simply playing on another server is promoting it. and like Lokigh said When you haven't even played avicus in over 20 days you're just using the forums to selfpromote etc etc.

Jesus the logic you use is quite ridiculous tbh. Just because avicus has 50 players doesn't mean the rules don't apply anymore. Rules are rules and even if avicus had 2-4 players you would not allowed to be promoting other servers. It's not quite the fact that it's effecting the avicus community its more and IS on the lines of Rules are rules and will be followed no matter what.

cellish May 11, 2017 at 6:05 PM UTC

Honestly if youre gonna make a video with hypixel content go make the hub on the hypixel forums instead. Then you can have a video hub on this server with avicus content.
I do have content from other servers but thats  not too many and i still play avicus actively and upload avicus videos aswell more than you do

have a good day

What's wrong with showing other servers?

It's against the rules if you promote other servers.

vladthegreat100 May 11, 2017 at 8:05 PM UTC

I agree with my boy Memes here

{tag=Relax} and others who are wondering why it's wrong to show other servers and some motives that could be beneficial for Avicus.

tbh it's not bad that you are making non-Avicus videos, but this is Avicus, not Hypixel. You shouldn't be sharing other serves contents here..
Also think of this.
You have a channel, and you advertise your channel and videos on the Avicus forums.
If you aren't allowed to share your non-Avicus videos here, what do you think you will do to get your videos and channel advertised on the forums? Make Avicus content of course! And in repercussion, you will be making more Avicus videos making it more beneficial to your channel because you can share it here and for the server who has more free advertisements going online.

I've always been a fan of this rule and have (Pardon my strong use of word) hate that Avicus doesn't enforce the rule. It's stated clearly in the rules that it's not allowed, but is not enforced due to the Staff who have channels want to Advertise their other content thus they break the rules and then other mods just bandwagon along by not punishing to not create any drama/to not seem the odd one out.
Props to Wolfy, he's the man for enforcing the rules.
To you Samuel, you've apparently already been told, I see no reason why you continue to do it. Just because one person does it doesn't mean you should.
Would you jump off a bridge if everyone else were doing for no good reason? I think not.

"Basically just using the avicus forums for advertising and views whilst playing other serves :("
Correct, more using another Minecraft Server Platform to advertise another server in this instance.
