It's not actually a policy, but yeah, I'll support the removing of the requirement that it has to be approved first, so long as the user who posted it is still responsible if the video is bad. per this

Technically this petition is just asking for the removal of the VP exception (although it is implied that the author wants the whole policy irradiated), not the entire video-linking policy.

Perhaps he misunderstood the policy as saying all video links must go through VP, when VP is just a way of bypassing Moderator permission for posting a video link.

Now that I have thought it over I think it should just be modified to state that the video must be approved by a Moderator (video-wise, the comments should be irrelevant) and that if a Moderator gives permission for a video that video can be linked in the future without approval from anyone as long as the user posting it states something like "Alemas approved this video previously:". Since VP/YTC are irrelevant if we don't care about suggested videos and comments. Anyhow, just a thought. Read the original post. :p basically that's exactly what this petition calls for, getting rid of people being responsible for comments, suggested videos, and ads. Basically the video is the only aspect being moderated.
