Posting of videos rule

Does anyone care to tell me where the "posting of videos" rule is? Because I can't seem to find it.

TBL's rules wrote:Section 1: General
(1) Forum rules are subject to change at any time, without notice and apply retro and prospectively.
(2) These rules are basic guidelines; moderators have the utmost discretion to expand on these rules at any time in order to ensure the smooth running of these forums.
(3) Foul and abusive language is not tolerated.
(4) Anything related to porn, warez or any illegal activity is not tolerated.
(5) Posting racist, sexist or defamatory remarks is not tolerated.
(6) Posts that create a negative atmosphere, or could potentially create such an atmosphere, within the Forums will not be tolerated.

Section 2: Posting
(1)(a) Please perform a Forum search before posting a thread. If there is already a topic on the matter then please post in that topic; don't start a new thread on the same topic.
(2)(b) Also, check the Frequently Asked Questions Box located at the top of the Graphics & Game Add-ons Forum; this may provide the answer to your question.
(2) Please only post in English. While the site and its moderators respect other peoples' languages and cultures, it is not possible for the moderators to moderate threads in foreign languages since they can't speak them.
(3) Users may post in a foreign language where it is relevant to the thread and is in an attempt to help a fellow user.
(4)(a) Do not post in all capitals.
(4)(b) Capitals may, however, be used to highlight a word or a phrase.
(5) Ensure that thread titles provide a brief summary of the topic you are posting about.
(6) Do not post in "text speak". This means abbreviating words in the style of text messaging. Normal abbreviations may be used, as may Internet chat-related abbreviations such as: lol, iirc, imho, etc.
(7) Ensure that you stay on-topic in a thread. If you wish to discuss another topic, start another thread. If there is not an appropriate forum for your topic, use the General Discussion Forum.

(2) Users may post links where it is related to the thread and is in an attempt to help a fellow user.

(1) The moderators of each forum are listed in the forum index page.
(2) Moderators have total discretion as to when and how the forum rules apply.
(3) Posting abusive comments about any moderators, any users or the site is not tolerated. Constructive criticism, on the other hand, is always welcome.
(4) Moderators may move a thread to another forum at their discretion.
(5) Moderators may delete/close/censor a post/thread and/or warn or ban a user for reasons that are not listed above.

Section 5: Warnings & Bans
(1) Moderators may warn a user for breaking any of the forum rules or for any other reason, subject to s5(b).
(2)(a) If the reason is sufficiently serious, the moderator may ban the offending user(s).
(2)(b) The moderators may use their discretion as to the definition of "sufficiently serious".

How am I supposed to know what's going on inside of their heads?

Point being, that A) this should be taken up with the mods, via PM so you can discuss the situation with them, and B) if they felt there was a good reason, there is a good reason. You just asked which rule it was, and I pointed it out.

Thank you, Taloncarde. I didn't know.

You are welcome. Keep in mind, you should always go to the moderators privatley first, when making a public post like this it appears you are attempting to start drama, not having a legitimate question.

I definitely don't want to start a drama. Non of the admins are here right now and I just wanted some feed back.

I understand, and I don't know if you are upset about it or just wondering, but usually it's better to wait it out to discuss it with them. Specially since the rest of us can't do anything about it regardless. Keep in mind, I could be totally wrong and recieve a warning if I am stepping out of line myself.

Like I suggested earlier, i'd just send Calv a PM and request clarification, or you could PM Archie and Minstrel as well, but they are the ones you need to be talking to.

For future reference: Please PM any of the moderators in the future rather than posting a thread about it.

Not a dig at anyone here as Systemfel has indeed PM'ed me, this is just a general point
