I think one rating on each video per day would be a lot more efficient.

[gothatfunk]

the problem is a votebot drops 40, 60, even 100 one-star votes on a video in a single viewing. whoever is botting has some kind of software that manipulates the rating number, but there's no corresponding rise in views.

[XChillX42]

only being able to drop one rating would stop it though. It would take a very long time to make even a small difference.

[gothatfunk]

so, if i watched 30 videos in a day i could only rate one of them? that'd suck, you'd have to be really selective about who and what to rate.

[gothatfunk]

if what you're saying is you should only be able to rate a video once in a day, that still wouldn't solve the problem, as i said votebots only need to rate once to drop multiple votes. that's the point, they've subverted the software somehow, so that a single vote reads as many.

Very good idea with the 18 and over.

Good ideas all over

About the votebot solution.

Scenario:

Watching a video. Fast forwarding due to boredness or repeditiveness in the video etc..

I think you should be able to vote after watching a video like that. As you express it there would be far less legitimate votes. However the ammount of 0-votes would also be cut down greatly.

The minus is far too big in my opinion. Plus many people might get pissed by this. I would.

Say that the video should have been played for 30 seconds or so to improve. out of space

I don't like your vote bot solution. I have watched videos that I truely hated. I could not watch them all the way through. Now you want to force me to watch in all the way through just to say how much I hated sitting there and watching the whole disgusting thing. I hate votebots as much as the next guy, but this is not the answer.

The man is right. You tube needs to listen to the You in youtube.

And if they don't give me the answer I want they will get flagged :P

I have sent PM's to Sxephil, WhatTheBuck and the MakemeBad guy to ask them to make an appeal to Youtube and help save our channels. I don't expect them to make vids about it but we need "The Big guys" to put this in the spotlight, we aren't visible on the front page.

Ugh, I don't understand this thing, is that is the case, youtube should have a better system. Any your solution would indeed be said solution.
