    I'm reading #7 and I must ask, what if the image is hosted on another server and hotlinked to the board?

    Surely, if I post a youtube video, this site doesn't have to worry about the bandwidth.

      That should be fine. It shouldn't be a problem. YouTube videos are fine. They get posted on here frequently.

        I'm trying to make sense of the connection between bandwidth and oversized pictures. If the photo is hotlinked from a different server, how can the bandwidth of this site be impacted?

          If the photo is hotlinked from a different server, the bandwith should be fine. I don't think that the bandwith of this site would be impacted. However, it might eat into the bandwith of the original host of the file.

            Oh, OK. The wording of Rule #7 sounds like oversized images impacts the bandwidth of this site.
            There are free services that provide hotlinking of photos.

              Hello, I'm new here. This is my first post.
              In regard to rule #4...Does it mean that we can't talk about our frustrations with white supremacy or the LGBT agenda here? I'm hoping this forum can be a safe space for black men to vent/discuss openly our thoughts about things without fear of being banned/suspended like Twitter/FB etc.

              Can you please provide a bit more context for rule #4?

                No it doesn't mean you can't talk about your frustrations with white supremacy and the LGBT agenda, as this site was made for black men to come together and discuss issues affecting them in this society, and the world. However, it does mean that if the intent of your expressions is to vilify, humiliate, or incite hatred, against a group, or class of persons, on the basis of race, religion, skin color, sexual identity, gender identity, ethnicity, disability or national origin that is considered hate speech and is prohibited.

                  Thanks for the clarification!

                    Hello I'm new to this form and just looking at these videos these people don't look like us. I thought this was a form specifically for foundational black men to vent and discuss topics without filter. Let's see how it goes

                      You can talk about anything you want to on here, as long as you follow the forum rules. This site is for black men to vent and discuss various topics. The videos are up there to further explain the reasoning behind the rules. Affiliate marketing is used to pay for the website. In order to have Ads on the site, certain rules have to be followed. I hope that I explained everything clearly enough.
