I would think that forum would be fine, but why not GD? I think more people would see in there.

I have LBN trashed because of a lot of rules so I go to Twitter for news. I also have GD trashed because of too many assholes so I like quieter forums. I just want to make sure Tweets are appropriate for V&M.

good luck, I stay out of GD too other than the occasional thread I read on the Latest page.

Sometimes Tweets include video and they're definitely media.

Post videos, images, or any other multimedia content about politics, issues, and current events. No posts about Israel/Palestine, religion, guns, showbiz, or sports unless there is really big news. No conspiracy theories. No whining about DU.

When we first moved to DU.3 we had separate hosts for each forum and V&M was one of the first I signed up for, it's a favorite of mine. Anything that's mostly photos or videos belongs in V&M - the main stipulation is that it's political. If it's an editorial or news item, it belongs in one of the other forums and if it's a non-political video - like a music video - that's better suited for The Lounge. That's my take on it anyway.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
