So this may seem a little "anal" of me, but I run into a lot of videos posted on spots that are broken, and for that, I report them. Still, I wonder why it's so difficult for the original poster to go back through some of the things they previously posted every once in a while (every 3 months?) to check which videos may now have a copyright claim, etc. I certainly don't mind cleaning up spots by reporting broken content, but it is very time consuming...
As a tip, and to make this job easier for people who contribute a lot, broken videos often have a gray video camera as the image instead of a still from the video -- not always, but often enough. If you don't have too much broken content in previously uploaded items and you keep up with it, it's easy to pick these out and double-check if they are in fact broken.
I'd like to hear other people's opinions. Do you think I'm just being a pain in the ass (to be blunt) about the whole thing, or do you think this is a reasonable request? My thinking is it would make the spots appear more "clean," and foster a more aesthetically pleasing experience overall when visiting the website.

Many of you may not agree with me and I don't expect anyone to do so, maybe some of you like a few spots on the one topic and some of you don't, I like fanpop just the way it is, the more spots, the better.
Monday: Work on the spot I've created.
Tuesday: Contribute to other spots and join new ones.
Wednesday: Check my profile and learn more about my fans.
Thursday: Go through every video, picture, article, wallpaper etc. and save and rate my favorites.
Friday: Find new material to add to all of my favorite spots.
Saturday: Have one day to go all around the whole of fanpop, I may not do anything but I might find something new.
Sunday: Try not to turn the computer on, who am I kidding?
And almost every day I must remember to check my mail, it seems like a lot to do but it's fun anyway and if you're anything like me, someone who can stay on the computer for hours at a time? remember to take breaks at least every half an hour to avoid headaches. Have Fun.
