I’m wryly disappointed with metacafe, I just close two accounts on youtube because I was seek of reading hate comments and getting hate mail and I always try to be as polite as I can when I comment something, I used to think that metacafe had more polite people than youtube … I guess I was wrong, both suck on that area. Its like if the frustration of the whole world whore being exorcized throw hate comments on the video sharing sites.

This is crazy. How can they let other people change the title of a video. It’s Nuts!

This will be chaos. It seems the only people on metacafe are haters, and it;s obvious that they are only going to change to title and descriptions to things like “gaye guy iz gaye lulz” or “in dis video im gaye and retahded lulz”. Call me cynical, but in my brief experience with Metacafe, I never even met one pleasant person, or read one comment that wasn’t demoralizing, and mean, and I can pretty much tell now that the community is going to use this feature in the worst way possible. I might be wrong, though, who knows. I haven’t been on metacafe for a long time, because I hate it almost as much as I hate Break.com.

Does anybody know how to close an account on that website? I haven’t been able to figure it out, and I would really REALLY like to, so it would stop coming up when I google myself.

Although I (and I am sure marilyn) would like the ability to correct people’s spelling on some videos, I think in the long run this is a recipe for disaster, at least if it becomes a feature of youtube. people will do all kinds of bad shit with it. me included.

This seems cool, but will probably be abused.

That would be counterproductive. As sXePhil showed, tits are their bread and butter.

I think it’ll create wars, unless they say they will trace your IP and then follow through, but hard to do that with a proxy and fake accounts.

I’m surprised google hasn’t installed the image finder to deal with some of the thumbnails. Actually, I’m surprised someone isn’t sitting there all day looking at the front page deleting away at all the sex and anime.
Not that I want to squash free speech, I’m just surprised.

I loved the 12 year-old, non-English-speaking video reviewers and pimply-faced leets comments (not to mention the constant technical problems). How much more am I gonna love hormone retards editing my video text?
