A while ago, I noticed a youtube user account rogueyoshi, which consists largely of TASes taken from this site, many of which contain absolutely no description whatsoever (and worse, all of the videos linked to were posted at least 4 months ago). I was going to have my TAS removed and/or have the account suspended, until it was pointed out to me that this site actually links directly to that user's account several times (see: Diddy King Racing or Zelda: A Link to the Past). I guess this means whoever's account it is has at very least editor priviledges here. They should definitely get around to describing these movies in a better fashion than "I'll describe these later..."

What a disgusting thing to do. I say we ban him.

He has an account here: http://tasvideos.org/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=2449. However, I'm sure it wasn't him who added the YT links to the movie pages, that must've been done by other editors.

Some videos have a satisfying description, though. I'd say, we tell him to describe all the remaining videos better and authors who don't want their videos to belong to his account should have them removed He's also got some 'important' videos like Super Mario Land. It's much easier to search for "Mario Land" and click on the first result and watch the video than downloading it from here. You can use that account for advertisement purposes, too.

I agree with this. As rogueyoshi is one of the youtube accounts that seems to be allowed to post videos longer than 10 minutes, it could be a great resource to TAS viewers who do not wish to mess around with torrents or emulators and roms.
How fleeting are all human passions compared with the massive continuity of ducks.

As he hasn't made a post since last November, I'm not sure he'll see this thread. I'll try sending him an email.

I've noticed him too. I agree that he could be very valuable (especially for 100% runs on YouTube), but what he's doing now is kind of sloppy...the least he could do are mark down the author's name and the length of the movie (I know these are subtitles in the encode, but still).
Super Mario 64 TASes and stuff.

That was me. I've been adding his youtube links to their corresponding movie publication as an added file. Since his account came before the 10 minute limit, his full uploads of TASes (including the TAS disclaimer at the beginning) I thought was useful. He also has not claimed credit for any of them, which is good. Hope no one minds.
