The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

A step in the right direction after all of the bullcrap "copyright claiming" critics have gotten, if you ask me.

Jim Sterling explains it all.

Glad to see YouTube FINALLY grew some balls.

Looks like this is more of an example for other people that make fraudulent claims on videos. Like Youtube is hoping this deters some of that.

I hope it does too.

Good idea.  

Maybe also making public everyone who tries to do a copyright take down thing, whether it goes through or not, a simple website that just lists that.  Some would dislike the publicity, though some would likely like that.
