I just want to say that you guys are awesome! We had a GREAT month in April - and I'm here to give you the full results....
Our Smackdown Bomber flew from April 12 thru 30 -- that's a total of 18 days for those of you in Rio Linda. (Thanks for the great Bomber pic, 
alfa6!) The "Smackdowns" are removal of specific videos and the "Suspensions" are the removal of users -- a suspension can result in many, many terrorist videos being taken down as most users have more than one video posted. So without further ado...
April 12 - 30, 2008 Results:
7 Suspensions
With those 7 suspensions, 179 videos were removed from YouTube:
Plus an additional 43 Smackdowns:
Bomber Girl is very pleased!
If you're new at this, we'd love to have you working with us. Here are the steps for flagging videos:
(H/T to rawcatslyentist):
#1) If you don’t have a YouTube account, go sign up for one. You don’t have to use it for anything but this.
#2) Click one of the links below, let the video start and then click the pause button on the player so you don’t have to actually watch the propaganda.
#3) Below the video, click “Flag as inappropriate.”
#4) Choose “promotes hatred or violence”
#5) Where it says “please indicate the group attacked” choose National Origin.
#6) Where it says “provide additional information.....” type or copy/paste in the below statement.
Providing services to terrorists violates executive orders 12947 and 13224.
So — you got game? If you do, freepmail StarCMC to get on the pinglist -
typically one ping per day - and start flagging! And THANK YOU!
BTW...if you want one more laugh, go click the “terrorist video” I wanted him to review. ;-)
LOLOLOLOL!
I liked that song when I was young and stupid. Who knew it was sung by Howdy Doody?
I once heard him described as “A skinny little white guy who got Barry White’s voice.”
LOL! Fits!
My wife said I should tell you (in the interest of full disclosure) that the album “Never gonna give you up” is on happens to be in our truck right now. Again in the interest of full disclosure, it’s her CD!
I’m more of an old-school Motown guy, myself.
Tell your wife, she has good taste!
Living in Motown, makes one a Motown fan. Being big into Hairspray and Dreamgirls doesn’t help!
“Welcome to FReeRepublic. We at FR are just doing our little bit to help the troops.”
You are absolutely right! And your helping more than a little bit...
You are helping us answer some questions that have bugged us for awhile. For instance, we used to wondered if once a decision was made, the video was safe. Well... through your persistent work on that stubborn list, we now know that they are not safe...
Thanks for the welcome, and thank you all for helping counter the cyber-jihad!!!!
That would be boys and girls :) I am woman hear me roar!
Woo Hoo! All of them in #286 are Gone, Gone, Gone! #287 Done!....:)
“That would be boys and girls :) I am woman hear me roar!”
Please forgive this FReeper n00b...
Right on target GIRLS and boys!!!!! ;)
No problem, and welcome to Free Republic!

Our partner at SMACKDOWN Head Quarters, wanted me to emphasize just how important the FReeper contribution has been:
“A question in our minds has been - once YT decides NOT to take a video down after reviewing multiple flaggings - is it forever home safe? That is why we had MisterAutopsy put on the Stubborn List. He had been posted on our sniper site since March 8. There have been other people flagging them but they didn’t come down. Freepers have now answered that very important question. They are still vulnerable, and persistence pays!”
You Guys and GALS are the shock troops of YouTube SMACKDOWN! Thanks for your effort.
You call it censorship, I call it DEFENDING OUR COUNTRY! Even a free society has the right to defend itself from enemies foreign and domestic. I’m glad to be doing it, even though it doesn’t amount to 1/1000th of what our troops are doing over in Afghanistan and Iraq. That is a blood debt that cannot be repaid. I am ever thankful to them.
