Title: Nintendo game and character fact videos!
Post by: ISE_Rob on August 15, 2016, 12:02:35 PM
Hey everyone! We've got a video game fact show on YouTube, and we're big Nintendo fans, so we frequently produce episodes full of interesting facts about Nintendo games and characters. We'd love to share them with you and get your feedback.
Unless they are telling me how they can't believe their mother makes $2786 a week working from home and wants to tell me how I can do that too, or telling us about a questionable meat product in a can that is popular in Hawaii, then I don't think it's spam.

But it's a person who hasn't been a part of the community suddenly signing up to advertise their own site and wares. I highly doubt ISE_Rob is going to suddenly start sticking around and joining in forum discussion. There's plenty of open threads on different topics that he could have made a comment or two on if he's a Nintendo fan but he clearly has shown he's only come here to post links to his videos and then tapped out in an attempt to drum up more viewers for his YouTube channel in a quixotic attempt to become the next Pewdiepie or something. So, a freshly created one-time use account shows up and makes a thread saying, "Hey guys, you like [s[foreign wives[/s] Nintendo stuff?. Then click these links I've posted." It seems very spam like to me. The only difference is that since it is a Nintendo related subject, it isn't an obvious spam designation and other users will post links to Nintendo videos or topics. So, it falls in this borderline area where it could be seen as non-spam also.
In the end, this discussion on what constitutes spam and advertising on the forum will probably be more entertaining than any of the videos posted.

I figure it's spam. I was more making a joke since I see those one time posting users pop up a lot on other community driven sites that state similar to what I said.

this thread should retitled condoned spam. Those Bowser facts were interesting.

Well, without the request for a sale, it's difficult to label such a post as "spam". However, this is uninvited marketing of some kind by an until-now outsider. This is a tough call, Khush. You certainly have your work cut out for you on this one. I recommend you at least give those charged a chance to defend their self.

They receive money for every like, view and subscription. So yeah technically they're selling something.

Ah, yes. The complications of modern commerce. Though I suppose without requiring the viewer to exchange currency of any kind, the risk to the forum community is quite low, at least lower than normal. Maybe enough for a "no harm, no foul" call?

In the original days of PlanetN2000 Fran Mirabella III used to plug his website Dolphin Cove. As you recall he would go on and be the one to give the infamous 7.9 Mario Kart DD review on IGN.

Well, I haven't tossed this thread in the recycle bin or banned the user so that tells you my call on it. That said, I knew the user probably wasn't going to stick around so I hijacked the topic to call his stuff spam which most likely isn't what he was going for with his post. I highly doubt we'll see a return by the user to defend their work. But it seems ThePerm is in league with them to help promote the videos so I'll let that serve as their defense.
In the end, this happens pretty infrequently but it has always irked me whenever some person creates an account to quickly self-promote some work and then move on to their next site to create an account and advertise there. Now I've got the power to call these users out and, by gum, I'm going to use it!

Yeah but the joke works better if you ignore that fact. Who asked you to bring facts into this discussion? Facts have nothing to do with this thread and are completely off-topic.

The videos were well made and horrible. I couldn't stand them, though I could never look away. The greatest of all time to the worst of all time in a span of spam.
What were we talking about again?

pfft. I don't know these people. I was just stating historic precedent. Some of their fact claims are stretches. A note for forum history. In 2 or 3 years I'll be on these forums 20 years. It's hard to say because PlanetN2000 and OpN2000 practically merged.

I didn't think you actually were in league with ISOROB. It was just a joke since everyone else in this thread has said this could be considered spam or made negative jokes/comments about the videos but you are the only one who has posted that you watched and liked one of the videos. Thus, I thought I'd chalk up the reason for your positivity in the face of all this criticism as though you were part of the "sales team" and not because you actually liked it.
I think the main thing to take away here is how starved the NWR community is for something to talk about. If it's not about whether AMD is an NX possibility, it's a discussion on the semantics of what constitutes spam. Maybe the upcoming release of Metroid Prime: Federation Force will be the needed tonic to spin up some controversy and discussion like Star Fox Wii U controls did. Or Nintendo could releasing some news on upcoming projects for once. This media silence and trickle of game releases really isn't conducive to creating forum activity.

There is literally not a damn thing to talk about regarding Nintendo consoles.
I don't think it can get worse unless they ban third parties from working on NX titles altogether.

Yep. The only thing to talk about is past games and systems at this point. It's all about the retro right now. So, who here has played Chibi-Robo: Plug into Adventure for the GameCube?

To be fair, the header for this forum section doesn't say anything about discussing the Wii U in here.

heres some news. I don't own a 3ds. More reason for the hybrid theory. If I only had one system to choose from than I wouldn't have this problem.
