Video Posting Guidelines
Posted: Mon Aug 28, 2017 4:05 pm
WesternBass wants to thank all anglers for sharing their videos with all of users on the site.
Here are the guidelines that WesternBass follows for appropriate videos.
Fishing related videos are welcome as long as..
1) They are embedded in the forum post. This means you post the specific video share link to YT or Vimeo within the post (NOT a link to your channel) or link to another page where the video plays. With an embedded link to your vid, you will collect all the traffic hits to your video.
To embed your link, you copy and paste the share code…. It looks like this https://youtu.be/jEPc0setJrc You then highlight that link and click the corresponding YT or Vimeo code in the post box.
IF this doesn’t work for you, just post the link and a moderator will do the rest. BUT again, please post a link to the vid NOT a link to your channel or another website.
2) Videos that are not family-friendly (meaning they have audio or background music with inappropriate language) will not remain in the forums. They will be deleted.
3) Videos that are blatant advertorials for non-advertiser’s products will be deleted. You are welcome to post a video of you showing off your fishing day, fishing any product you like as well as the fish you caught on whatever lure/gear etc. you use. The difference in a video that is not appropriate is when the video is basically a commercial, promoting a product or company by a non-advertiser and those will have to be moved.
Because all of the WesternBass site and mags are totally free to all viewers, sometimes it is easy to forget that it is all paid for by the advertisers of the site. To be fair to our advertisers that make the site and magazine possible, we can’t allow non-advertisers to promote advertorial videos for free, while the advertisers pay to keep the site running.
Again, feel free to show off your fish, what worked for you that day, what you were fishing and/or how you were fishing... we are all here to talk, watch, learn and report our fishing days; but please respect the difference in posting an advertorial video or a video about a day on the water or a catch for the day.
We want to thank all the anglers that share their videos on the site. We know how much time and effort goes into filming and editing and appreciate that WesternBass is a place that you want to share your accomplishments.
Because we appreciate your time/effort and because we are here to talk and promote fishing, WB will post appropriate videos links from our site users on the home page and/or our social media. This will help you increase your traffic and visibility and it gives us all more fishing to talk about.
Thanks again for your support of the site!
