Been a low-traffic member for six years now, longer except my first account was lost in the crash of 2008. Sure, I haven't submitted much, but even the ability for me to HELP SOMEONE ELSE'S QUALITY VIDEO is restricted. It's very frustrating.

A review and retool of the policies for this site seems to be in order. There's way too many restrictions on someone who has been a faithful, low-trouble but infrequently contributing member of this site for a very long time. And I would bet that the barriers to other, newer contributors are frankly too high.
