I'd certainly do it. But there's really no point. If you have a reason why the Viewpure rule should stay, I'd be all ears. But if your just saying that the CMs can take on the inconvenience, that doesn't solve the problem. It still takes time whether it's a CM doing it or the one who wants it linked. Also if someone examines the video they're linking like most people do, they don't even PM an CM. So then they'd PM an CM to get it purified? I don't see how that helps much at all. The current policy states "All YouTube links or videos from other hosting services must be approved by a moderator before being posted publicly in chat". The CM can purify the video himself while approving the video. Full rule: "All YouTube links or videos from other hosting services must be approved by a moderator before being posted publicly in chat. Optionally, you can use ViewPure to bypass this policy. However, you are still held responsible if the content of the video is inappropriate."

We're able to check the content of the video itself on our own. We are still responsible for anything inappropriate, but we don't have to go through an admin if we use Viewpure. This rule is here to insure no inappropriate comments are eon the video. This petition will rid the rules of anything regarding the comments of a Youtube video when someone links to a Youtube video. Basically the new rule would be "Any user linking Youtube videos is responsible for the content of the video itself." You can also add "If you are unsure if your video is appropriate, please have a CM look it over for you." But the video itself is not what the CMs are approving, as clearly insinuated by the rule, it is the comments on the video.
