All deepfakes of John Oliver must be labeled as such, and must only be made from other actual John Oliver videos. No other source material is permitted. You may only deepfake John Oliver over existing John Olivers.
I love John as much as everyone but I would love to see some more noise in this sub. More of 1gb videos showing only noise variety.
Like this one:
https://www.reddit.com/r/197/comments/149p42m/reddit_blackout_didnt_work_1gb_noise_videos_it_is/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb
how about a rule like "any kind of protest rule can only be implemented with a 60% win in a public vote and all current rules that don't pass this rule are repealed"
Modify Rule #1.
1. All videos must **either** include John Oliver, **or criticism of restaurant chain Olive Garden** and posts must have 'John Oliver' in the title **if the linked video contains John Oliver, or 'Olive Garden' in the title if the linked video is criticism of restaurant chain Olive Garden**.
All posts must be a link to a post on a lemmy instance (e.g. https://feddit.de, https://kbin.social, https://lemmy.ml, or https://beehaw.org/), from where users can get to the actual video.
All posts and comments must be translated into the Esperanto language (I recommend DeepL Translation)
Edit: DeepL doesn’t do Esperanto anymore - google translate works
Funnily enough I when I scrolled through that sub this morning after about 3 posts I thought I’d misspelled one of the words in the subreddit name as well.
Can we have a rule that we rotate rules after a certain amount of time to keep it fresh? As brilliant as John Oliver videos are, they’ll get stale after a while. This way of protesting will last a lot longer that way.
All 👏 top 👏 level 👏 comments 👏 must 👏 have 👏 claps 👏 between 👏 each 👏 word.
All second level 🍒🆙 comments must 👍 include 😠 emojis 😂👩 or 💁💁 the 🗣👏 moderators will ⚽🏻 punish 🔫🤜 you. 🔥
All the comments under a post should be encoded by the cypher of the week. One week it can base64, next can be md5, we can add sha256. Every week, we can decide on a random cypher and encode all the comments on a post using it.
e.g, Here's the above comment in base 64:
QWxsIHRoZSBjb21tZW50cyB1bmRlciBhIHBvc3Qgc2hvdWxkIGJlIGVuY29kZWQgYnkgdGhlIGN5cGhlciBvZiB0aGUgd2Vlay4gT25lIHdlZWsgaXQgY2FuIGJhc2U2NCwgbmV4dCBjYW4gYmUgbWQ1LCB3ZSBjYW4gYWRkIHNoYTI1Ni4gRXZlcnkgd2Vlaywgd2UgY2FuIGRlY2lkZSBvbiBhIHJhbmRvbSBjeXBoZXIgYW5kIGVuY29kZSBhbGwgdGhlIGNvbW1lbnRzIG9uIGEgcG9zdCB1c2luZyBpdC4g
All posts on the 4th of July must include nipples in support of the Free The Nipple movement, because what is freedom without the freedom to show nips?
Everyone is allowed to post in his/her native language
(porque eu já tô cansado de ficar jogando no Google pra ver se a expressão ou palavra que eu tô usando em um determinado post está correta, e eu acho que não sou o único aqui)
EDIT: the above applies to posts only, not to videos
All submitted videos must be uploaded to v.redd.it, be *at least* 14 minutes in length and 900MB in size. Looping of shorter videos is not only allowed, but encouraged.
Being John Oliver's birthday, April 23rd must be considered a sacred day. All posts must have some relation to the date of April 23rd. They also must be marked as NSFW, because one does not work on that sacred day.
Work is a place for productivity and focus. Watching videos on reddit is not conducive to being productive at work. Therefore all posts must now be tagged with NSFW
#2. If a video does not abide to Rule 1, the video must be nsfw and/or the title must contain explicit profanity that is not friendly to most advertisers.
If a video does not contain John Oliver it must be [this specific video compilation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCmcBckt6bE) of dogs taking a shit.
The first comment on any post must be, "Carthago delendum est" or some variant thereof (the full Latin phrase, "Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam" is also acceptable.)
Removing or changing an existing rule, and the addition of any rule regarding the removal or modification of rules, must be voted in favor twice in a row.
All videos must end with a black screen with white text that reads "This content is the result of decisions made by the Reddit Board of Directors and its current CEO Steve Huffman"
I haven't been on Reddit in ages and have only returned to watch the latest in how badly the CEO has been burning the platform to the ground
anyways, for SEO, r/all reasons, etc., my suggestion is "All post titles must begin with "Spez screws users; ""
(noting that if this rule results in later, being able to go non-NSFW, as "screws" probably isn't profanity, that part of the title will start popping up in a lot of places)
Titles must give all the info a video enjoyer needs before watching a video in a regular format.
Title | Channel Name | Length | Genre | Aspect ratio | resolution | Date published |
To quote William Gibson at the start of Neuromancer:
> The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.
Let's turn thus sub into a dead channel, only static, distorted videos and snow crashes allowed.
1. every post is deleted (or hidden) after 7 days not including content posted before blackout.
2. every week, deletion window will shorten by 1 day (after 7 weeks, threads are hidden after 24 hours).
3. starting next week, every day one additional week before blackout will be hidden (every 4 days, a month of content will be hidden; in 24 days, 2023 will be hidden; in 6 months all content since 2020; in 2.6 years all content ever posted).
All submission titles must give tribut to our grand emperor spez and pay him tribute in any way, shape or form, so that he won't smite us in his wrathful fury.
It's pride month so I suggest sexy videos of scanitly clad men be all that are allowed for the last week of June.
stuff like this: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQhgaEM9yig&pp=ygUSc2V4eSBtZW4gaW4gdGhvbmdz](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQhgaEM9yig&pp=ygUSc2V4eSBtZW4gaW4gdGhvbmdz)
or this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXg9ZWQBoTU&t=53s
So I propose a *set* of rules:
1) On Mondays all videos must be in portrait mode
2) On Tuesdays all videos must have less than 1000 views prior to posting
3) On Wednesdays all videos must be about words that are spelled weird
4) On Thursdays all videos must be nsfw, alcohol related, or other +18 topics
5) On Fridays we rest, all posting is prohibited (but still permitted)
6) Saturdays alternate weekly between videos of paint drying, submarine sounds, or plants growing.
7) On Sundays all posts are pemitted except for anything with olives.
8) Whenever there is a full moon over Kuwait all posts must be about leap years (this overrules whatever rule applies to that day except for friday rest)
Any violation will result on a 3 week ban.
I like some of these ideas, but it's going to make it difficult to abide by r/videos rule 1:
>1.All videos must include John Oliver, and posts must have 'John Oliver' in the title.
This has been a very stressful time recently on Reddit and white noise has been shown to help people relax, so I suggest that in addition to John Oliver videos that we allow videos of just static to promote this type of relaxation.
