John's place (Rated G)

This is my place on YouTube where I post my favorite game show videos and any other videos that interest me. You can view my MySpace page at the address above.

NOTE: I've been noticing a lot of disrespecting trolls on YouTube as well as those that post "RIP Bob Barker" comments on Price Is Right videos (Newsflash: BOB BARKER IS NOT DEAD YET). For those reasons, I have these rules, which MUST be followed if you choose to comment, as I want to keep this channel G-rated at all times:

1. The comments section of my channel is MODERATED (i.e. friends' comments automatically show, all others with approval). If you post ANY disrespectful comments on my channel, even a racial slur or the "F" word, YOU WILL BE BLOCKED AND REPORTED AND YOUR COMMENTS WILL BE DELETED. NO EXCUSES, NO EXCEPTIONS. So watch what you type. Just because you disagree with me does NOT mean you can bash me, so to speak. To remind all viewers: 1st amendment may guarantee you free speech--but there ARE limits, as mentioned earlier in the rule; and there are also consequences, as you'll see below.

2. If I have to, I will implement a "3 Strikes" rule: Every time a disrespectful comment is found here, that person will get a STRIKE (X). 3 Strikes (X-X-X), and YOU'RE OUT AND YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING, including the right to post on my page AND your right to free speech (your comments and the number of them will be reduced to ZERO). NO EXCUSES, NO EXCEPTIONS. That means, more importantly, do NOT mock my personal info. That includes age or beliefs, and above all, my MySpace page. And like Aubrey and Mathew say, "I'm just kidding" or "Lighten up, it's just a joke" doesn't cut it. If it looks disrespectful, and sounds disrespectful--IT'S DISRESPECTFUL PERIOD.

3. Also on the 3rd strike, you will get a TIME OUT that starts at 60 minutes and will DOUBLE by that much until you change. NO EXCUSES, NO EXCEPTIONS. If you got a Time Out in grade school; well, that's how my Time Out facility rule works: You sit in said room by yourself and serve it out until the timer goes off and then you can re-join the group, I will unlock that door, your Strike count will start over, AND you can comment..IF you get yourself together to USE THE RIGHT BEHAVIOR. If you don't, you'll stay in there and that door will stay LOCKED. If 2 or more disrespectful people are in there, they're SEPARATED from each other so they CANNOT look at with OR talk to each other. For a better idea of how a Time Out works, watch an episode of "Supernanny" with the Naughty Chair segment (if there is one), watch the Big Comfy Couch episode "It's About Time", or read this Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_time-out

As my friends have said on their channels, and I'll say it on mine: Whether my rules are permanent or temporary--Follow them and we will have no problems at all. Break them, however, and you'll suffer the consequences. Whether I warn you or not is up to me. So, before you comment, READ EACH AND EVERY RULE. If you can't do that, you can kiss your comments AND your privileges AND your rights goodbye until I see that you've gotten yourself together to USE THE RIGHT BEHAVIOR on here.

To quote Survivor's Jeff Probst: "Fire means life". Your comments towards me determine whether or not your torch will be snuffed. If they're nice, you stay; if they're not, you're gone.

Remember, my rules relate to a very important proverb: "If you can't say anything NICE, don't say anything AT ALL." That applies to MY channel and my friends' channels, as they use that same proverb too. If you get blocked you should already know WHY you're blocked; if you don't, well, THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM, NOT MINE.

HOLIDAY SEASON RULES (Nov. 1-Dec.23):

1. All respectful people will go on the PRESENTS list (Nice list).

2. All disrespectful people will go on the COAL list (Naughty list).

3. If you berate my Santa beliefs (i.e. "Santa's fake" or "Santa doesn't exist"), you will go on the HOUSE SKIPPED/YOU GET NOTHING list (VERY Naughty list)

4. And for the trolls, no matter which naughty list you land on, if you even think of using the "F dash dash dash" word on here (I won't even spell it out), expect a bar of soap in your mouth, just like Ralphie (this of course, an homage to "A Christmas Story").
