Admin, please let me know if posting these videos on this forum is allowed (I suppose that technically I am advertising my youtube channel). If it is not allowed, I will happily take it down

Thanks for your consideration. I don't see that any of this is profit driven. In addition it promotes conservation. So it seems fine to me.ruthtbl wrote: Admin, please let me know if posting these videos on this forum is allowed (I suppose that technically I am advertising my youtube channel).

In cases where something like this is profit driven, or linked in some way to a commercial endeavour, it is a form of advertising and would not be permitted on VE unless a prior arrangement with me has been made. VE does seek to generate income through advertising as a way of sustaining the amount of time it takes to run the site and some of the projects that VE is involved in. This approach also keeps things for free for members of the site. If anyone is unsure about something that they intend posting, please feel free to check with me via PM or email first. Each case is considered also on the merits of what value the content may add to the site, and what the cause or purpose of the content is. In my to-do list is the formulation of policies and guidelines addressing this kind of thing, along with how VE relates to organisations and companies, so more will posted on this at a later point in time.
