Forum rules: No links to Cinema5D, DPReview, Nofilmschool

[Andrew Reid]

It's time to take a stand.

DPReview for the umpteenth time refuse to lift the blanket ban on EOSHD URLs on the forum, so I am going to do the same. No DPReview links are welcome on this forum and they'll be deactivated automatically. Of course you are still free to discuss their articles, but I don't see why I should drive their traffic while they do their best to shut me out and censor their own forum users.

To be honest it'll be no great loss if you didn't discuss their articles, in my opinion.

Now the same goes with Cinema5D because I disagree fundamentally with the ethics of those who run the site.

They have been absolute horrors towards EOSHD and never supported my presence as a rival from day one. They deleted their user's DSLR community, tossed an entire forum in the trash. Remember this and please don't draw attention to their articles which are in my opinion, blatantly misleading biased reviews, like with the 1D X Mark III rolling shutter situation and the hatchet job on the GH5 when that came out. You can get your info directly from me here instead so you don't need them anyway.

Nofilmschool are banned for same reasons due to my view of their editorial and business ethics.

With Nofilmschool this is also a zero loss. I don't think there's been a mention of them for years. Who reads that exercise in SEO any more?

Please appreciate, that my appeal to all of you in this forum is....Choose your sources with thought and care!!

This forum should be good quality info.

I don't want it to become an aggregate of misinformation and a place to bookmark YouTube clickbait, page after page.

Best of all, let's create our own content. We all have a camera. Let's test it, shoot with it, compare it. And lenses too, and software, and computers!

There are so many good people out there doing superb cinematic work and camera reviews.

Let's draw attention to them instead.

My bad I won’t post anymore links to those mentioned. Hope you accept my apology. 

[Andrew Reid]

No need to apologise.

[Kisaha]

No useful info over there for some time now, ages; still watching some of Chris and Jordan though, these guys are just likeable!

[Andrew Reid]

Just run the SQL commands.

1049 links to DPReview removed from EOSHD forums

398 links to Cinema5D removed from EOSHD forums

PS I have met Chris and Jordan in person. Not in the least bit likeable on that occasion.

[Andrew Reid]

Please follow those who deserve it!

High quality info...

They may be entertaining, but I have serious doubts that they are likeable, or at least what most people would consider to be likeable. Both of them come across as having a strong potential to be d*cks in person  

[Andrew Reid]

That's the impression I got at the Panasonic S1 unveiling in Barcelona. Really very into themselves.

Here is the response from Cinema5D by the way:

When I first started getting into filmmaking I really liked NoFilmSchool, and followed NFS closely, but as I grew as a person/filmmaker (and I moved beyond their generic common denominator target market) and as the founder of NFS stopped blogging the majority himself (instead outsourcing it to hacks, who often didn't have a clue) then I increasingly stopped bothering reading NFS. Now for years I haven't checked out NFS regularly. Plus their botched attempt at a forum was a disastrous mess.

If you want to know about Toneh and other useful insight in the relativity of it all, don’t forget this channel:

I especially like the insider/management meetings he does 🙂 There are a few great ones about Sony and Canon...

This is hilarious, you already have lost your top contributors to this forum.

[Andrew Reid]

Who's on yours?

[PannySVHS]

So this leaves more attention for the famous EOSHD list of the less well known youtubers. Should become a sticky topic:

How about this guy. The Iggy Pop of youtube camera craze. Love the straighfowardness and his own kind of realness and also mellow cheesyness. Still plenty to see for the minute. Great entertainment and display of friendlyness:

😂

Just followed a thread on DPR that has a link back here.

Have they changed policy or it just has not been shut down yet?   In the R forum on the R5.

[Andrew Reid]

Please paste the URL here so I can keep an eye on what happens 🙂

It'll only remove the domain name, so paste away and I'll follow it by editing back the correct URL
