Wtf where is the video?

[Stefan]

Some people create threads in the Video Gallery but there's no video (like the two new ones about Feliks). Wtf? Can we please ban them?

Those threads are made as placeholders for the videos which are to come, as that will avoid two threads about the same topic being created.

I guess they're waiting for the video to edit the first post, but I agree It's kinda wrong, let the record holders open their own threads

I think in this situation it is best if the thread is first posted in the general cubing discussion section, and later moved to the video gallery.

I forgot a thread can be shifted from one section to another, you're right

There's a reason why these aren't banned, and that is because it is more convenient. Leave them as they are.

Getting my hopes and excitement up and then crushed is not "convenient".

But not worrying about moving the thread into another section is (for the mods anyway).

To be honest, I can think of no valid reason to open a new thread as a placeholder for videos to come. The only reason I can think if is that someone wants to be seen as the first person who posted a video of a WR on the forum, which I think is just pathetic. If you have the video and are ready to post it, then by all means create a thread and post it. If not, then don't.

Perhaps we should just have people (or mods) put a "no video yet but it's coming" tag in the thread title. Like [vid coming].

It's fairly common for people to make threads in the wrong subforums. It's not a big deal since they can be easily moved to the correct ones.

Done.

That is not nice

When you're not the person that has the video and you create a post in the video gallery, I think its just for the useless post count increase. The sensible thing to do is just wait for the actual person to post the video or if you can't wait, just discuss the result elsewhere.
Also, people tend to forget any record is only a record when it's oficiallized by the WCA and *not* by the cubecomps or live.cubing.net websites. These wonderful sites exist to help run a competition but they are not official, if they were it would be at something like live.worldcubeassociation.org.
