The Importance of Knowing and Following All YouTube Rules
The Importance of Knowing and Following All YouTube Rules
Are
you interested in joining the YouTube community? If you are, you will need to register for a
free YouTube membership account. To register, you need to fill out a short
form, which will ask you a few personal questions. In a matter of minutes, you
can be on your way to rating or reviewing the YouTube videos you watch or even
uploading your own videos! How fun does
that sound?
Although
YouTube is a lot of fun, whether you are only interested in watching videos or
if you want to upload your own, YouTube, like all other online websites, has a
number of rules and restrictions. It is
not only important that you know those rules, but that you follow them, as
there are a number of consequences for not.
Just a few of the rules enforced on YouTube are outlined below.
If
you are only interested in watching YouTube videos, not necessarily uploading
your own, you will find that there are fewer rules and restrictions for
you. One of the most common rules
surrounds registering for a free YouTube account. Only a minimal amount of personal information
is asked of you, like your name, country, zip code, birth date, and gender, but
you are advised to be truthful. Also,
there is no need for you to create multiple YouTube accounts. Should you forget your YouTube login
information, you should be able to follow YouTube’s instructions to retrieve
your YouTube sign in name, as well as your password.
Another
a rule that many YouTube video watchers have to follow concerns leaving comments
on YouTube video pages or participating in the YouTube forums. Whenever you leave comments for a YouTube
video submitter, you are advised to use your best judgment. Of course, you are able to leave negative
feedback, if you want, but you are advised to do so in a tasteful matter. You will want to avoid foul language and
definitely do not threaten any other YouTube members. Doing so, will likely not only get your message
revoked, but you may also have your YouTube account suspended.
As
it was previously mentioned, if you are planning on uploading videos to YouTube
and sharing them with other internet users, you are more likely to find a
larger number of rules to follow. One of
those rules involves the content of your video.
You are advised against posting content that is illegal in nature. YouTube encourages you to use caution when
making your videos, as you never really know who will be watching them. For
instance, now many police departments are starting to use the internet to help
them solve crimes. So, not only do you have to worry about online predators
viewing your YouTube videos, but you also have to worry about law enforcement
doing the same thing.
In
connection with your YouTube video content, you also need to make sure that
your video content is actually yours. In
recent times, there have been many instances where YouTube made it on the news
for having a large number of copyright materials on their website. This is illegal. You will want to make sure that the videos you
post online were actually made by you.
Before using music clips, television clips, or movie clips, you need to
get permission to do so. If you fail to get permission, you are, essentially, stealing
someone’s work.
The
above mentioned rules are just a few of the many that you may be expected to
follow when using YouTube. As was
stated above, one consequence of violating YouTube rules is having your
account suspended. If you submitted a
video that went against YouTube’s guidelines, your video may be removed. Should you be caught committing a crime,
whether it be using drugs, drinking underage, or taping a robbery, you may also
be prosecuted for your actions. That is
why, for your own safety and wellbeing, you not only need to know all of
YouTube’s rules, but you also follow them at all times.
