Welp, lets see! I work on WILD ADVENTUREZ and you may say, well thats dumb... but let me tell you! We work with a large variety of animals and try to put what we know out there in a fun unique way! check out our promo video
I'd probably be doing them along with him, and show him how to do it right, as well as marketing properly.
If I caught him spamming, I smack him on the head (playfully, probably more of a rough tussling of the hair), telling him that he's annoying a lot of grown-ups, and he needs to go outside and cut the grass.

Granted...my oldest is only 16 months old, so it would be a few years before I am faced with this scenario, but I don't think I would deal with it any differently.
I have two teenagers. At the age this kid is at, you try to be supportive when they are so motivated and show initiative about anything besides playing video games! There are a few issues with some of his technical information, but the production value is good, and he is obviously passionate about animals. Seems like something we would be interested in fostering as a community. If we dont encourage young kids who are into reptiles, who is going to? I mean, we are a reptile forum, so it makes sense that this might at least possibly be interesting to some people. In my opinion, its the same thing as the expo guys who only come on here once a year to push their expos.

First of all, its freakin' youtube. There's one reason people get on youtube: entertainment. Just like someone mentioned in another thread, in regards to reptiles, its dominated by people only interested in seeing feeding videos. Granted, if used right, there has been some good videos put out by some good organizations (Ex: RARR), but for the most part, one does not upload on Youtube to educate; it is only to show-off.
Its great that they're are passionate about reptiles, but you know what? They should get involved with a herp society and actually do some outreach stuff (in the REAL world) instead of boosting their ratings on "likes" on Youtube. The general public cannot interact with herps through a computer monitor. Its great to post pics and videos, but that only goes so far.
I'm all for fostering an interest in herps in young people, but in the right ways. I don't personally feel this is one of them. The mere fact that the only participation this person did on this forum was make two posts only to promote himself. He shows ZERO interest in learning in asking questions. ZERO interest in receiving critique of his work. It is all "Look at me. I'm awesome. Spread the word." I find it arrogant and disrespectful to this community.
Iask you, is THAT the kind of behavior we should be fostering?

If this was on my forum, the posts would have been deleted by now. This member needs to show a little "group" participation before subjecting us to his spam.

This right here is why I didn't delete his post.
Another forum he posted on right after he posted here deleted it right away.
I do wish he would come back though, we can't "help" him or his show if he never returns.
