Jackhammer could edit his Original Post to say that each post about a video must include the person's opinions about the song and why they have them. He would also need to note the date of the change, so that posters would know that it applies to them.
Then you could start deleting any posts that lack substantive commentary right away without any need for a general MB rule change.

You can disagree with it if you like but it's staying where it is.
And I've not been deleting any posts in there with no content other than youtube videos in them because they're not currently breaking any rules as things are now.
The point of this thread is to see if people want one.

I'm fine with that "What Are You Listening To Now" thread being in the music forum. I just don't want members to be faulted when they haven't broken any rules. I'm glad you haven't been deleting people's video posts.
I feel that if a thread-starter doesn't want just videos, she or he should explain that. Then there doesn't have to be any general MusicBanter rule against posts containing only a video. Sometimes a thread-starter really just WANTS to hear the music that people post in the thread, and listening to the music is the main objective of the thread.

Anyway, we contacted her about it previously, and she simply stopped doing it in the one thread, and moved it to others. All we asked is that she put some banter and effort into it, like we ask of any person on these forums posting about music.

Well, that's nice that you contacted her. Thanks for explaining more about the situation with Love-song. I do agree that unless there is a general rule about adding commentary, deleting any of her posts would be inappropriate.

I'm not going to go around and delete posts in the music sections that have just Youtube videos in them. But I do support the idea that we have a basic level of expectation when it comes to posts about music. If there's a thread expressing no need to do anything else but post Youtube videos/music videos, that's fine with me.
But I certainly don't think that should be a standard applied in every thread.

I agree with what you say in bold.
