You apparently are determined to trash this without looking at it. Glad I saw it though.

Ha ha, you're funny. How do you propose to get the movies out of them?????

I enjoyed that vid, very clever.

Hi Ron. It's probably relevant to point out that you had posts removed because you ignored the rules of the forum to offer things for sale. Simple as that.

The squad has reviewed the post and feel that it is appropriate given that the OP has sought advice. Yes it's drawing your attention to a product that may not appear specifically "4x4" (and could therefore be considered O/T) but it is a product considered relevant to the site as many travellers are using video cameras and video equipment these days (as is obvious by the responses in the post).


It is not inciting you to buy or promoting a specific outlet. It fact it doesn't say "I have these for sale" anywhere. Heaven help them if they are trying to gain income from something that has already had over 3 million hits.

Sometimes a difficult call but in this case we're calling it OK.


Thank you,


The Squad

You're more generous than I would be, ModSquad. I've been a forum moderator on other forums for over a decade, and I can smell spammers a kilometre away.
The OP is linking to the YouTube video to try and increase its viral rating even more - and what better way than a popular forum.
I'll even wager the OP is a first time poster on the forum and only registered in the last day or two.

As we said Ron, we don't get it right all the time, but are prepared to make a value judgement based on content, value and benefit to the forum despite the nefarious undertones you imply. As long standing members of the site, we have some experience at these things and have been charged to make that call. We also take the opportunity to seek consensus amongst the group of mods as a sense check if you like. Many of those points you make are prime considerations and in fact, any member can ascertain the number of posts made by the postee by a simple search on the front end forum page. Perhaps you could have a look at the tab that outlines moderation policy for the EO site, it articulates the policy quite clearly and surprisingly this is just near the tab about the forum rules you managed to ignore despite all your forum experience elsewhere.

Thanks for the advice, you're most probably right. Still considered of value though.

If you'd like to contribute, perhaps you could become a member and
through consistent and positive contribution over time, you may be approached to be a mod on the site here as well! Stranger things have happened ;-)

Thanks again.
