One of the problems about the scripting and hacking that I've noticed is that people on YouTube put up videos on how to do it, thus teaching budding young h4x0rs how to scam and script others.

I was thinking to get the videos removed, but none of the reasons for flagging a video seem to fit this. I was wondering if an e-mail should be sent to the people of YouTube explaining the situation to them, but I'm not sure. Any thoughts?

True, but considering how many videos there are they probably wouldn't noticed some unless they were reported.

Youtube (And some other sites I don't know) is the only one I know that has their videos being shown with those techniques on wreaking harm on Gaia and its users. If those videos were removed EVERYTIME someone posted hacking/scripting vids then wouldn't there be a less chance or so to lower down the havoc of more new scripters using and to stop doing it on Gaia and such?

i think that it is wrong to show people how to hack on youtube so we should get alot of people to send an email asking to block those types of videos on youtube

Exactly. What about something like this:

Dear YouTube,

It has come to our attention that there are several videos on this site that show how to hack and script a website called "Gaia Online". Hacking and scripting on Gaia is illegal and moreover is dangerous, as it allows the scripters to get information like credit card numbers from computers.

Examples of such videos can be found here: [insert web addresses of videos that show how to hack/script]

For the safety of others, please block such videos from YouTube. It will help prevent many people from being placed at risk.

Sincerely, [how should we sign? The Guild name perhaps?]

has anyone tried contacting youtube about this issue...
PostPosted: Fri Jan 16, 2009 10:05 pm


I'd like to, but as I said I'm not sure how to go about it.

Btw, does anyone have YouTube accounts? I do, but I'm curious as to who else does. If we're members, we could all sign our usernames and it might carry a bit more weight.
