...on youtube have totally hijacked LG15 (on youtube). It's' really bad over there. I keep marking the hate as spam but they are just insane enough to keep on posting one thing after another.
Is'nt their anything anyone can do about that?

The truth: Probably a question for the YouTube guys more than anybody.

The bigger truth: Only the YT guys can do anything about it, but they've yet to bother.

What Lurker says is sad, but oh, so terribly true... <sigh>

1. FIGHT BACK!

LG15 ROCKS
copy and paste if you hate youtube haters!

2. less confrontationally, you can just hit the "spam" link for every hater comment (i don't mean honest criticisms, but just pure hate). once a few spam hits are recorded for a post, it folds up.

3. there is a core group of about 10 miserable people of youtube who post the middle finger graphic spam on lg15 videos. their names include: punchpixie, memewhile, whoodiestyle, etc. they may be sockpuppets of just one person, actually.

4. so, go to the comments for "crazy emo chick" and "no trespassing" now and do your part!

5. why do you care? maybe you don't, but i love smashing haters.

Milo, and Voyboy,

I was with you last night fighting the good fight, but the problem is it only takes one click to post hate spam, but it takes a hundred or so clicks to get it hidden as spam.

I was thinking a tactic that at would at least piss the spamers off more would be to spam them back on thier profile page comments or through pm. but before you do so, BLOCK THEM so they con't retaliate.

Otherwise, another solution would be to get the creators to give a volunteer access to the account, to block the spammers. Of course I doubt if the creators would go along with that for security reasons,

i h8 lg15 its soooooo fake!!!11

Seriously, though, maybe they should just block comments on Youtube - I don't think they're ever going to overcome the vast and fairly inexplicable animosity towards LG15.

Or maybe it doesn't even matter. With this new Youtube revenue sharing program, every time the haters click on the video to post some drivel, they're just making money for the Creators. Poetic justice, really.

It seemed like i was out numbered there last night. they popped up faster as i was doing it. (then it suddenly hit me what I was doing on a Saturday night, and cried my self to sleep)

i have been doing that (usually by posting on their profile page). my profile is taking some hits in return, but i wear as a badge of honor. i have learned, however, that lg15 is allegedly a huge hollywood corporation. i bet you didn't know that!

So do they get their accounts suspended if they are linked to spam?
If so then youtube should be able to block thier IP address as well. this would slow them down on making any new accounts as well. Unless they used another computer with a different IP.

GOD! the trouble these Loones are going to because they dont like a show.

I have emailed youtube these quetions and have yet to get a response.

The simple, smart solution would be for YouTube to let people do what LiveVideo does.

Oh, sorry. You can block the haters from your profiles and your videos on there (basically, prevent them from participating in the entire channel). It's been months since LiveVideo came along with this, and YT has yet to duplicate it. LiveVideo actually offers a better service in a lot of ways, but YT will probably remain the most popular.

~~~sigh~~~

I am pretty sure you can do the same thing on Youtube, it's just that nobody who has access to the account is doing any blocking. You can also set it up so that the comments have to be approved by the user posting the video, MsKelly/HSA took this approach

yeah, youtube does give you the ability to block certain users from commenting on your videos. i bet the Creators are a bit leery of doing that, because it will invite charges (from the haters) that they are censoring all the bad comments. some channels clearly do that.

even if lg15 banned some commenters, sockpuppets would show up. i am sure some of the currents spammers are the same person.
