And how exactly are they not appropriate?

4. Site Policy
a. ECF is a work-friendly and family-friendly environment. This means that if a work colleague or family member looks over your shoulder while you are visiting ECF, they must not see any material that might easily offend or that may be unsuitable for children.
b. Additionally, colleagues or children must not hear language that may be offensive, for example when a video is being viewed.
c. Offensive materials are not permitted. If posted to the site, they will be removed and the member who posted the material will receive an infraction. Do not post any material that may be considered offensive, whether it is text, graphics, video or audio.
d. Do not post links to such materials.

So I watched, and have 2 points. First and foremost the back lighting is horrible. You should make the videos at night or put some cardboard in that window behind the curtains. You want to be front lit, not back lit in photo's or videos. As it is, colors look washed out all over and the left side is almost completely washed out. Second, as classwife pointed out, if you want to be able to post links or have your links be able to be posted by others, you have to not use the language that you do. I am not personally bothered by language (I don't even understand why society considers some words bad and others not. To me it is the intent behind what is said that should be considered.) but it is against the forum rules and we have to comply.

I’m assuming that you want your videos to appeal to a broad vaping audience. When you are constantly dropping the “F” bomb throughout the video, it is not only inappropriate to some, but comes off as unprofessional.

I watch review videos on many other topics/products other than vaping, such as car/truck reviews, high tech electronic reviews, etc, and for some odd reason vape-related videos are usually the only ones where reviewers seem to have no issue in using the language that they do. Why is that?

I could understand it if they were reviewing PMS medication. :eek:

Exactly. There's a time and place for salty language. A video review isn't it.

Try it like this :
ECF is "Rated G". If Disney wouldn't want you, then chances are the ECF won't either.
Well... PG-13. I consider this joint to be what my folks would call "polite company."

Except PG-13 allows some bad language just not a lot and it depends on how it is used. PG can even allow some bad words but no "F bombs". So for language purposes this is a G site.

The strange thing is, the topic of vaping itself is an "adult only topic". So with that in mind, this site should technically get a rating of NC-17 (no one 17 or under admitted) or at least an R rating.

Good thing this isn't a movie.
