A Suggestion for Future Let's Play Posts

[Romulator]

Personally, I don't see it happening to become similar to the "giveaway" thread. If they want to advertise their Let's Plays, I wouldn't have a problem with it in any way, even if it were for hit and run. It can be enforced using a post count variable check, but then wouldn't that limit those who have no idea what their doing on this forum, have no interest in development, SOMA discussion or perhaps even the Off Topic section?

I could see it potentially leading up to comments of a sentence or two with something like "very nice... i'll use it in my next project." until the post count is reached. Then the LP thread, with (sort of) well constructed text, providing a few links, perhaps updating the post once or twice in future, then "BYEE-BYEE" (Markiplier).

For the minority of those who come here simply wish to put their name out there, advertising their channels or LP's of a game is usually the first step into the world of the LP Internet. You start off small to get anywhere. If they wish to advertise however, I would like to see more than just something like this.

Hello everybody I have started a Let's play series of Amnesia: The Dark Descent. If you are interested in watching my YouTube channel is in the link provided https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RUCvWMP288

If you have any questions message me

A wall (if you can call it that) of text which shows little about your channel does not "advertise". If you wish to sell your product to investors, you need to pitch why they should do so. It works similarly. Why must we need to watch a channel? Provide us with an embedded YouTube link, and make your post look pretty.

While that last statement may be somewhat off topic, I don't think a post count is exactly necessary for the LP forum. Begin small to make it big, even if it is a hit and run.

Of course, its up to moderators to give a fuller overview of this, but I just thought I'd throw in my two cents.
