I received an email from rights@vimeo.com
Dear Encript:
Your video ‘Geometry Wars 1,000,000 points(921864)’ has been removed for violating the Upload Rules of Vimeo.com:
Vimeo does not allow game walk-throughs, game strategy videos, depictions of player vs player battles, raids, or any other video gaming video that simply depicts individuals playing a video game.If you believe this was an error, please reply to this email in a civil manner with your reasoning (“I see other people do it” is not a valid reason).
Regards,
Vimeo
Thank you vimeo but this part makes me laugh especially hard
or any other video gaming video that simply depicts individuals playing a video game
So if I am just playing a video game in a video It will get removed? Why Vimeo, is what I upload not entertaining enough or helpful for people. Does everything I upload have to be approved by Spielberg. I know this is suppose to be a video sharing site, with the intention of sharing high quality videos. Its understandable that not all content belongs and can be harmful in someway. Such as content that depicts or promotes violence and pornography. But what did my little Geometry Wars video ever do. Some people found it helpful, this is why the internet is so great if you have a question, just search for it and more than likely someone else already has an answer. I wonder why youtube is so popular.
If the true problem is the size of the video why not make a cap. Say make your game videos shorter to not stress the transcoder.
Like shown in this post in case you forgot. Link Had I known deleting video game content is what Blake Whitman meant by this
but we are taking measures in the upcoming weeks to combat the increase in traffic
I probably would have been a lot more vocal.
