Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

You have a point - but I would take issue that "garbage" will get you out of probie status. Most things that get published are fairly good, though maybe not your taste subjectively.

I don't think it's heavy burden to require that members are committed enough to contribute a good video to the community before gaining full membership status.

Ok, that lays the concern out in the open at least. But it doesn't seem there is consideration given to time periods or participation in other ways (years of membership, hundreds of posts...).

Alas if that's how it is to stay, then that's that. One could always just get around the qualification by submitting some garbage which gets the minimum required votes. (Which again, I prefer not to do on principle.)

Jimnms just told me that he's in the US and still can't view it, while Thylan can view it outside of the US, so that shoots my regional-blocking theory out of the water.

Hmm. Have you tried viewing it in a different browser? Sometimes I can't get certain video players to work in my Firefox browser, but when I switch to **shudder** Internet Explorer they work just fine. Go figure.

Can't play it either. Volume slider works, play button is dead. Clicking the video itself does nothing. Really wish someone would standardize all the flash players out there.

By chance, are you outside the US? Here's the direct link:

Please let me know if you can't view that either.

I used to play it all the time! Dirk was King!
