WTF is with Pro Vids and Reposts?

First of all, I'm a supporter of this site and have been a paying member for some time. There is still some great content here, so I intend to keep renewing my membership.

BUT ...

I have to say that, like a lot of other members, I have noticed a huge increase in reposts and pro vids since "the big change". Part of the reason I come here is to see NEW content and to be honest it is a waste of mine and everyone's time to have to scroll through endless reposts and parts of pro vids.

I think there are at least 2 problems here. First, some people are uploading old vids or cut-down parts of pro vids in order to get credits. Second, these are not being spotted by the mods. I realise it is a difficult job for mods to know the origin of every single vid out there, but in some recent cases I have noticed the same vid uploaded 3 times in as many weeks and even seen pro watermarks in some of the vids with the WBW logo over the top. I think this is just unacceptable according to the rules of this site.

Guys, I don't normally make a fuss like this, but I think posting pro vids here raises legal issues as well as destroying part of the reason we come here. Reposts are just annoying.

Can something be done please? Thanks in advance.

im not one of the mods that approves the movies been uploaded onto WBW..
and of course...they CANT know all the reposts to know to delete. Pro videos i agree, MUST be deleted and not approved.

One way members can help is to make a comment on the video letting comment mods with movie powers KNOW that theyre pro or reposts so we can clean it up.
that helps enomoursly

latino is right about this

one thing members can do is just make a comment with a problem about the vic, every comment that is made in ANY gallery is read from a queue.

so when a comment mod sees someone saying "repost" they will make sure the video is gotten rid of immediately.




right now our movie gallery mods are NOT the movie forum mods, the movie forum mods are the ones that have to see all the videos every single day that get linked into the movie forum and they REALLY do know their stuff. my plan was to move the movie forum mods into the movie gallery to help, speeds things up, and more importantly clean things up and make sure they stay clean.

the reason that it hasnt been done yet is because until this new version of WBW it was NOT possible, now all of that is worked out.



as a solution, i will make sure that those 2-3 mods get put on movie gallery/queue duties within the next day or two to approve movies faster than ever, and more importantly to help clean up the current queue.

I'm a free member, but I help your cause by endorsing your site word of mouth, to anyone who's of obvious age, of course!
I would love enough points to view some longer clips, but I have no content to share, and am not abusing the points system because I like the site and it does offer alot to everyone, but people are not checking themselves too closely, I've noted. Many locked threads have the same reasons!

Im helping as well.. Im uploading crap in the picture que so the mods have more to do, so people can upload more pro vid´s...

I know what youre talking about dude, but its hard to follow up some times.

Best thing you can do, like the rest of us, is to use the report button, if you find something thats shouldnt be here.

Then the mods will do the rest.

[EDIT : Spelling mistake]

there's a repost button?!?!?!

Thanks very much for the swift answers, good solution all round

When I posted I thought hmmm I wonder if this will just get locked or taken down, as it would on some less reputable boards (mentioning no names). Great to see the community spirit in action

That's because we like all of our members to have a wonderful stay and experience here at WBW.

Are you a undercover WBW Crew member ?

seen that same too. and we also have a ridiculous situation at the pic-gallery as well.

most of the massposters, also well known as wbw-regulars are abusing and ruining it by posting hundredtime-reposts over and over again. tons of zipfiles, without even bothering to check them first out before posting.

those ~20 members are the ones to blame for ruining this whole site.

keep your shit fuckers. i have no respect for any of you. (whine)

though vicky may seem like hes coming off a little harsh, anyone whos ever been a pic mod understands completely where hes coming from... its pretty much how all of the pic mods feel. ive been a pic mod for almost 2 years and it has not gotten better... it has gotten worse. it was all downhill once we introduced the zip files upload function... it was SOOOOOOOOO much better before that. but we did it because its more convenient for members.


queue work is not easy. its thankless and it never ends. theres a lot of different kinds of problems that we deal with when it comes to the uploaders and the people who are approving those pics and just every angle of it. theres no simple solution to any of the problems.

thats why there is a report button

I actually support this kind of harsh stance when it comes to the re-posters - they know who they are, and repeatedly do it... sometimes just for fun.

I think it'd be nice for diz to be able to implement some sort of way to restrict offenders with certain IP's from uploading pics.

Doesnt help us at all with having to look at 34,000 pics with 3/4 of them being repost and shit
Marked, pro, repost, so f'n dark or blurry you cant see them
The mass uploaders dont give a shit as long as a few get thru, they dont even know whats being uploaded half the time
I wish there was a way to ban them from uploading too
