Hello, WWE Current about embedding WWE videos

[The Zombie Mod The]

Recently there as been an increase of embedding WWE owned footage from youtube accounts that are not WWE owned/run, as most of you know we have had major issues with this in the past. So much so that we've even included their tape library listings in the official rules page

Failure to abide by this may result in an instant ban or a suspension of account privileges.

While we didn't like having to warn for this originally and still don't, the rule was put in place for a damn good reason. We did relax it a bit by allowing links to videos from non-WWE accounts embedding those videos is still not permitted here, people have been breaking this rule more and more frequently recently so for the love of Bob stop embedding videos if they are not from an official account and just link to it.

We hate having to warn/ban people for posting a wrestling video on a wrestling board but it is going to happen if people don't stop breaking the rule quoted above, it isn't something we've just sneaked in as a rule... it's been one for four years so there is no excuse for it. This rule does also include themes owned by WWE so avoid that as well obviously.

If you are unsure about it, just link to it.
