Posts like this will probably still get pulled with a "fix title and repost" request.
What do you think?
I agree and especially with it being a video. The title needs to tell us WHY it is related and since it is a video we probably need to know WHERE in the video the material is because somebody could link to an hour long video and the mod can't spend an hour looking for something that may not be there. Most people will will catch on over time that it needs to be time stamped but people will still post it without time stamps. This is a situation where if I was a mod and I KNEW the material because I was familiar with it I might not pull it but give the poster time to timestamp it. That runs afoul of the "everybody has to be treated equal and exactly the same" but familiarity with material also breeds a better forum in cases like this. If I knew it was obvious bullshit of course i would want to pull it immediately and get rid of it. Sometimes a mod knows and if he knows let him do what needs to be done and not get ham strapped by the rules. We have to use the rules but we should not punish ourselves with them.
