Rating Videos


EBaum's is the bomb. You can't find a better website. But there is a problem with the administration.

You've seen the submissions. You've seen who gets credit. The typical M.O. is to go to a website that has a cache of videos, download and then upload for eBones.

The administration gives the cash value to all, equally, but the credit goes to a select few. What do I mean?.... Well, I contend that if I submitted an original video to eBaum's and latter submitted it to one of those websites that are typically used from which to upload, my video might be featured by a favored, regular eBaum's user. And even though I submitted it first, my submission would be passed up and the regular's submission of the same video would be featured.

I'm not here to cry my eyes out. I'm just pointing out a fact that dissapoints us all.

Give credit where credit is due. Did Michael J. Fox man the camera?  Is the video quality to our liking? Is the subject matter appealing to the typical eBuam user? Is the video concise? In short, do we want to see it here? And if you know you saw it a couple years ago, you know it's a re-post. Does it deserve 5 stars?

If your ebaum's buddy posts a weak video, and you rate it 5 stars, you're lyiing. It might make you feel like a good friend at the moment, but you're only encouraging shitty videos to be submitted.

We have found a gold mine of a unique outlet. Why would we defile it by rating horrible videos above our standards?

And for you trolls,... You wish to gain respect through admonishment. Then once you have found a friend you don't want to push the envelope. Keep pushing is my advice. Make your friends better.; And if you know them well enough, they should be able to tolerate constructive criticism. 

I don't watch obvious advertisments: Those get zero stars.

A boring video that SHOULD be here gets one star.

A video with plenty of action using a horrible camera man gets 2.

A video with interesting subject matter and adheres to said subject gets 3.

A good quality video with shock factor gets 4.

And finally, a video of high quality, original, appealing to the eBaum massses, and forever memorable gets 5.
