why do you need youtube embeds on signature?

thought so. just wanna check if there's anything i missed.


actually youtube embeds don't lag the server. simply because the LYN server only serves you the code. your browser reads the code and calls whatever else from youtube without going through LYN server.

my concern (as the person who's self-proclaimed to have nuked the most siggy on LYN) is that it's subjected to abuse, considering the maturity of the people at LYN, particularly those that spam Kopitiam like nobody's business.

it's harder to monitor signatures too, just in case they contain unsuitable material. so it's like one has to load the vids just to check out what's on the signature.

put it this way la, even the SERIOUS TALK tag is not treated seriously. that also among 1 of the many R&Rs that are frequently broken. what more a youtube on signature?

anyway, let's see what the admins have to say. I'm not a decision maker but I'm just expressing my thoughts. it's an interesting idea but to me i wouldn't dream of implementing it on LYN. abuse is common here.

dimensions are not an issue. look at facebook, youtube loads in a much smaller box.

if you set post count as requirement, it may trigger a spam festival.

while waiting for admin feedback, no harm having more ideas on how to implement.

to have it individually enabled would be a great feature but i'm not sure about the amount of work involved.

don't worry about discrimination. when we choose, we're already practising discrimination.

guys, i'd like to point out that though it's not a STRONG reason - it could still be a valid reason.

btw have any of you embed link a video that requires AGE CONFIRMATION before? what will happen?

i think some stuff might be offensive in Malaysian culture but not something that's against YouTube's policies. that one we'll just have to rely on forummers with lotsa free time to report la.
