OH

Its the beginning post that makes sense

And its the thing i messed up and was still new to the forum so i didnt understand anything

Would it be cheating if I started a topic just to ask people to like the first post?
probably

also what would happen if i deleted the first post?

Would it set the second post to the first post and let me get one like closer to the badge or what

Rule change regarding sharing non-hopscotch youtube videos - 05/22/23

The guideline regarding youtube videos that are not about hopscotch has changed - from now on, you cannot share videos unrelated to Hopscotch that are 15 minutes long or more, for the sake of moderation (ic). As you might have thought, there is obviously no limit on Hopscotch-related videos!

The other guidelines about sharing youtube videos still apply: if you share a video that is not yours and is not about hopscotch, youtuber must be decently popular (eg. half a million subscribers) and the video must not contain inappropriate content.

If it’s your content, your channel should of course not contain personal information or inappropriate content, your videos must be about hopscotch and your comments should be turned off. Make sure to post your hopscotch videos in Videos Created by Hops.

Happy hopscotchin’!

Most of my videos don’t exceed 14 minutes anyways, and 15 minutes is the max allotted time for non-verified accounts, anyways…

Ofc, it doesn’t matter for me anyways because I can’t share any videos on my channel due to possible Private Info of other people that the channel might contain… I could set the troublesome videos to private/unlisted, but I don’t think it’ll change the fact I can’t share videos from my channel.
