December was actually a GREAT month for YouTube Smackdown! I hope you enjoyed seeing all the dancing babies as much as I enjoyed posting them! You'll REALLY enjoy seeing these numbers!!
AhDoodieClaire - 12 suspensions and downed videos totaling 491 videos removed!
LanAstaslem - 3 suspensions, 238 videos removed.
SIT – sniper videos – don’t have figures yet
JSDotd - 30 out of 31 down for Dec. total of 216 to date - 88.5% SMACKDOWN
It has taken over a year and a half to assemble the arms and legs of this project to make it the success it is today.
And, it demands constant vigilance to stay on top of the seemingly unending changes YT makes to their TOS, without officially notifying their users! Without testing what are basically gut feelings, we don't know which direction the river runs today.
To that end, GnatMasterson worked most of December (over and above his love for providing weekend gnat amusement) to test a growing suspicion he had that YT had rewritten software to allow much older videos to be taken down. He and his loyal minions pulled users from the archives and flagged videos until they were satisfied that the hypothesis was in fact, correct. The results -
238 individual videos downed and 12 users suspended totaling an additional 561 videos! That's 799 total videos from Gnat! YOU ROCK!!
Another avenue for cleaning up YT's dereliction of duty has been opened, you will be seeing much more of the older videos for flagging. Thank you GnatMasterson and crew for a job exceedingly well done!!!
And thank you Free Republic - the 101st Chairborne Division - for all your help in making 2008 a very successful year for Operation YouTube Smackdown!
61 Suspensions
2756 videos were removed from YouTube:
(large bombs represent 25 videos, small bombs represent 1)
Bomber Girl is very pleased with your efforts! w00t!
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!

Mornin' Fellow Chairborne Warriors!
Here is our play list for this lazy, hazy Sunday morn. As I feared, YouTube is once again asleep at the wheel. Yesterday's list saw only two GNATS SMACKED down. On the bright side, jihadi SMACKDOWN of the day delivered the Coup de grâce to dasilvacl, a terrorist supporter who really needed to go.
Today we have more GNATS for your stomping pleasure.
Break out the RAID 'cause we got GNATS. Yuck!!!
Sunday Ping List Play List
If you are interested in diving back into yesterday's play list, follow the link below:
Saturday Ping List Play List
P.S. Here are some instructions on how to SMACKDOWN terrorist videos.
You guys have been flagging videos for a while now and you know how
to spot bad ones -- and many of those are videos we have missed.
Several of you have asked if you can help more, and to that end, we'd like
to recruit you to help. This list is a list of videos submitted by FReepers
(the Pajamahideen) who help with Smackdown on this thread. "Wacky
Smacker" is something that one of the hirabist sympathizers at YouTube
labeled those of us who smack down their terrorist trash. If you would like
to be on the lookout for videos to submit for this list, please FReepmail StarCMC for guidelines. A
FReepmail will be sent back to you with instructions and tips for looking for good, smackable videos.
We will keep each list up for a week, or until all the videos are down, and we ask that if possible
and if you have the time, you smack each video on this list every day this week. This should be fun!!
