I was looking at the "Grozeth Nebulae" page, when I Saw the video section was empty.. just a few seconds before I had seen 2 videos of Grozeth Nebulae on YouTube, so I upload them.
At first I got bonus points for having improved the page, but at the last night I received 2 private mssg saying that I received 4 Negative points for your Submission of Grozeth Nebulae for it has been estimated as incomplete.

"The reason is :
Invalid video: too short or concealed mp3"

But the link was working, and those were the official video for the band's label... so, why the videos have been removed and I received a penalty?
Sorry if I'm wrong, I'm new on the site. Greetings!

Hi sbrtrec.

Did you name them correctly? is this your first time trying to add videos or have you successfully added them before?

Which Grozeth Nebulae videos did you try to add?

You could always ask the person who sent you the Negative points to explain in more detail why you received them.

Yes this was my first time trying to add videos, so I'm not expert about this site, but I think that I have added them in the right way...
the two videos are "April's Fish (bitch!)" and "Storm of
Cesneckath" (both from youtube)

It's not really important for me, my question was just to understand what I did wrong, if I did something wrong, so I will not repeat the mistake the next time..
Thank You for your time

Hello sbrtrec

There are two reasons why you might have gotten penalties.

The first one could be you have titled them incorrectly.
here is an example of a correct way to title a video
"Immortal - Blashyrk"
band name first then a "-" and then the track title.'

The second reason would be that the video is just a static image. I looked for the two videos on youtube and all I found were static images with an mp3 (I found them on the sbrt records youtube channel). But unless they are actual video clips, they cannot be added to the site

Thanks

I also got a point penalty for uploading a live video (and I selected "live video") of a show for Whyzdom. The video and song name are correct. I really don't understand what the problem is? The video was pretty good as well :/

The "reason is" section of the PM I received was left blank.. (helpful..)

I'm reading again (I also asked the person what was wrong, that sent it to me) and I see "for it has been estimated as incomplete".. the video was a full video of the entire song? I guess I just really don't understand.. it must be a really minor detail I missed.

EDIT: I looked back at Whyzdom's page.. the video I uploaded is still there (though now it says added 0 minutes ago) along with the SAME EXACT title I uploaded it with.

I was given 2 Negative points for my video Submission, but I don't understand what I did wrong at all.

EDIT EDIT: I got a reply from the admin (they weren't happy with me because apparently I come off as rude when I try to reply in another language I can barely write, she is French and I was trying to help by replying in French :/)... anyway it seems I had a title issue. I will have to pay Closer attention next time. She said to look at how she fixed it, but I honestly don't see a difference. I guess I fail or that it was really an incredibly minor detail (in which case I'm scared to ever try to post anything again! O-o)

Hello Anex

You don't have to worry about the Validators comming off as being MAD, its in their nature Anyway, how exactly did you title the video?

did you:

"Band"-"Song Name""(where the concert was held and year)"

Did you remember to put the articles in the middle of the song name lower case?

if you did all that, then I don't know what you did wrong
