I think it is important to have this kind of vids . out there.
Inspiring.
 
Good time to bring up an issue: many here are text oriented. Some even refuse to watch video.

To communicate to the broadest possible audience on a print text forum set up to write posts that the members read, could it be possible to get a line or two summarizing the intent of the link?

Maybe it's just me, I see a growing trend on the dozen or so forums I frequent to just post a link and then the resulting thread becomes a private conversation among those who know. Well, we have PM's for that.

Seems contrary to the nature of the medium and impolite in a way the High Road doesn't represent.

Ok, put me in the "cranky old gaffer won't click vid link" category. But, like I said, I visit about a dozen forums a day to read posts. Kind of a Sunday paper experience daily. If I wanted to surf youtube I wouldn't be here.

FWIW. Mods?

That's a great idea, maybe it should be a rule.

Oh wait a minute.... :)

Posting links: Don't post a link to a news article and let it go at that. Please post the first paragraph or a summary of the article. That would help members decide if they want to go to the linked article for the remainder of the story.
 
I agree with sharing a summary.
I don't click video links.
I have a good virus program and I can't count the number of times clicking a video link has given me an immediate message that a virus was blocked. I stopped clicking video links for that reason as well as, like the poster above, I come here to read. If I want to watch video and/or ads I'll watch TV.
 
You are VERY correct

As much as we want to have a place of "trust" clicking links blindly is a no-no (I am in a way connected with a cybercrime organization - cant say more) and one of the worst things you can do is blindly click links.

If someone says this is a youtube video on how to strip a Marlin 60, which one is real , which one is bogus ?

Field strip a Marlin 60

Field strip a Marlin 60

If you picked the first one without CLICKING to find out you understand. the easiest way is to let your cursor hover over the link....in this case if it shows you are going to a youtube video, you are safe. But the second one did not have a link to youtube so should be suspect.

Also beware of links that have the valid site in the name but are NOT the valid side...example

if the link starts with
""https://www.youtube.com""

You are safe
but if it was something like
""https://www.ent.youtube.com""

BEWARE..that is someone trying to fool you.

Also, I personally use TrendMicro...with it turned on, it verifies ALL links before hand with a check mark...(no affiliation to TrendMicro)

So ...summary...we should trust the links here posted by the good people..but it never hurts to check if the "safety is on"...lol
 
Forgot to mention

The second link is safe..it just goes to an article on Cybercrime. If anyone wishes to know more about "protection" you can pm me...be glad to help.
 
As a casual user I could care less. I just want to read or watch about guns. All I need is a title for what the link is. Are these forums moving toward the more computer user elite among us. At least its not a real virus like herpes. Dont you have software? I might be in a situation some day where I have to find a forum where there is not so much expectation and moderation when you post. There are a lot of us who arent setting out to hurt yalls sensibilities.
 
Okay, I have a smart phone, felt it was reasonably safe to watch, didn't watch the whole thing.

It's a video of people encouraging patriotic thought and liberty aspirations, and several people holding signs saying they will not comply with some rule or another, and holding various forms of firearms.

Since I don't live in New York, and don't know the intricacies of each and everyone of their rules, I am not competent to describe various implements being displayed, and whether or not they have this or that part.

But someone asked for a summary, so I hope that helps. Nice music.
