Hoping we can get some clarification, as it is written my interpretation of the following rule varies from yours -

(06-25-2013, 01:39 PM)Shane <img src="https://i.imgur.com/pUgtAVa.gif"> Said: If you have a youtube video set to AUTO play in your roleplay, it MUST be at the top of the screen above your content. In other words, the person reading the RP should not have to scroll down to the bottom of the RP and click pause if they're in a situation where they can't or don't want sound coming out of their speakers.

This applies only to actual roleplays.

I may be wrong but I don't take that last line as an outlawing of all videos outside of an rp, I take it as saying the rule is unneeded elsewhere. Is there a different similar rule that someone can pull up addressing vids getting posted inside threads that allow replies?
