Hi all!

I’ve added a couple new rules to the sidebar for posting Etho video content in the community. I just want to help keep the post titles consistent going forward to make searchability easier.

The new rules are as follows:

  • If you are posting a new Etho episode, please ensure the post title is the same as the YouTube video title.

  • If you are posting a video by another YouTuber or streamer because it contains Etho, please copy the title directly, and immediately append it with “(Player POV)”. Include a relevant timestamp in the post text body if Etho does not appear in the entire video. An example title would be: Etho Hates Ghasts! (Minecraft Starblight Desert) (VintageBeef POV)

All that being said, I am completely open to comments, feedback, suggestions, and questions. If there is anything you need clarification on, or things you would like to see added to this community, please let me know! You can comment here, or message me directly.

    happy with this change, good to have things consistent. my only slight issues is most people were already appending that information like “- VintageBeef POV” so maybe it would make sense to keep that format?

      Those posts were mostly made by me!

      I just figured changing it to have it in parentheses might help to distinguish it from the original title a bit more. Most of the Hermits use dashes and colons in their video titles, but no one really uses parentheses on a regular basis. My thinking is keeping the POV tag in parentheses makes it easy to see at a glance that it’s an extra piece of info added in, if that makes sense.

        that is a good point, I posted some of them too. happy to go update all the ones I posted too to match the new format, since we can edit titles here.

          I’m not too worried about stuff already posted but that is a good point! I always forget we can edit titles here. I’ll update the posts I made shortly.
