Here's the deal... Terrorists post snuff videos, sniper videos, calls for jihad and all manner of nasty stuff on the internet in order to lure more young skulls full of mush into working for or with them. A lot of these videos are hosted at YouTube, of all places. YouTube's policy is that they will only remove offensive videos if those videos are flagged by the YouTube community as offensive. That's where you and I come in... We need 100 people who will give us 10 minutes a day to simply sign in to YouTube and flag videos. You don't even have to watch them - in fact, in most cases, I'd recommend that you NOT watch them. If we flood YouTube with flagged videos, they WILL remove them. So will you help? (Please?)
Here are the steps:
#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.
Good to have you aboard, Dave. See ya at the FReeper Canteen sometime?
Cheers
*DieHard*
Those two are done too!
Idiots...
...and down goes kazasker50!
Yeehaw!! PWN3D!!
Even better, I clicked on the homepage links of a couple of the terrorist posters in the comment section on the last thread and they had been banned.
Maybe somebody over there doesn’t like the bad publicity and they’re cleaing house a bit.
Whatever it takes! I am SO THANKFUL for everyone who is holding their feet to the fire!
You guys deserve a big WOOOOHOOOO!!!
No smackdowns yesterday, but if we keep at it,
we'll get some more...and stay tuned
because tomorrow we will start a new
thread for the month of May, and I'll
start it off with a visual show of our
accomplishments. I think you'll be
very surprised by what you've done!

SPECIAL CONSIDERATION:
The DNC apparently thinks that it's a great idea to politicize the deaths
of our brave ones and have decided to use video very similar to that which
we are battling on YouTube every day in an anti-McCain ad.
Regardless of your view of John McCain, using the deaths of our soldiers
in a political ad is morally reprehensible. If you have the time, please
see this thread and then voice your displeasure with the DNC.
Steps for flagging videos (H/T to rawcatslyentist):
#1) If you dont have a YouTube account, go sign up for one. You dont 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 dont have to actually watch the propaganda.

#6) Where it says provide additional information..... type or copy/paste in the below statement.

So you got game? If you do, heres your first list a couple of the videos have already been Smacked Down! WOOHOOO!! Lets get the rest!

New YouTube Smackdown Ping
Freepmail me to be on or off the Smackdown Pinglist!
Thank you for helping!
Dang it — update at #527 — SORRY!!
WOW! I made a mess!! Somehow I double posted in 528 & 529. Oh well!! (Sorry guys!)
Having a hard time connecting to YouTube right now. (Hope I have not been suspended). Will try again later!!
Goodonya, Star! Two thoughts. First, you write:
> No smackdowns yesterday, but if we keep at it,
we’ll get some more
For the videos that have been flagged but haven’t been converted into “Kills” yet, I wonder if there is any value in keeping them on a “Crippled” list for follow-up?
We can probably only flag each video once each, but for the “Cripples” we can enlist new FReepers (or indeed family members, or...?) to flag them, too — if we keep hammering them they are bound to eventually go down in flames.
Second, I wonder if, at some point, we should actually go after YouTube itself. They are aiding and abetting the terrorists by providing this facility. This is wrong. They are an American company and they should not be doing this. And it should not take private individuals like us to make them do the right thing. For free.
Perhaps we should instead offer to help police their content for them, in exchange for regular hefty donations, either to the FRee Republic or to a Veteran’s Cause or to CARE Packages for the troops, or...?
We are doing them a valuable service by helping them comply with the law. They should be grateful, and they should be willing to acknowledge that somehow.
Your thoughts?
Done!
StarCMC has also linked to the DNC video about McCain showing the two soldiers being blown up.
For FYI, I've read that the soldiers walked away from the explosion but the video implies that they were killed. Either way, it is just as despicable as the terrorists' videos.
Also, Star will begin a new thread for the month of May. She plans to show all videos removed and the posters that have been banned. April 30 List in Post 527
First, the videos that are flagged but not removed ARE kept on a list and are recycled periodically. There are some who, for whatever reason, are EXTREMELY stubborn. They will keep coming back until they are DONE. :-)
As for the other — I don’t know if you read that article from The Jawa Report that I linked here called “You Tube Speak With Forked Tongue” but I have thought about what you’re thinking about too. They say that they rely on their community to help them police, but when we are flagging like mad, it appears to me that that statement is a CYA move and NOT what they really do. There are some videos that have been flagged many, many times that are REALLY bad and it’s as if they have some special behind-the-scenes deal with YouTube. I will ask the Smackdown folks to give us a list of a few of those that we can flag every week until they are down — maybe a steady complaint line would do it. But YouTube is Google. They are BIG. Of course, once upon a time, Dan Blather was big too. :-D
fyi, i''m sick of them & "all their works".

> But YouTube is Google. They are BIG. Of course, once upon a time, Dan Blather was big too. :-D
(BIG GRIN!) Yes, so was Enron and so was Conrad Black. When you’re big and do naughty things and the Feds decide it’s time for you to go down, you go down with an almighty WHALLOP.
I’ll second your post.
And thanks for keeping up Star’s Smack Down.
