So, You Want To Stop Links in the YouTube Comments?

11/10/2013

With the new integration of Google+ comments on YouTube, it seems that Google forgot how important a spam filter is, and just left it out. Due to this, many people have disabled comments because people are posting links to sites that may or may not contain malware or are just generally places on the internet where you don't want to go.

I have taken the time to write a filter that will prevent any URL from being posted on either your channel comments or video comments. I also added a bit that should prevent some ASCII artwork.

All you have to do is copy the contents of the text file that is available below, and paste it into the comment blacklist filter, which can be found here.

That's it, you should now be able to block all URLs and some ASCII art, if you found this helpful, share this post with others and consider donating to help me out by going to my donate page, here.

The New Year!

1/9/2013

Hello guys! I will start with some good news, the web filter service at my school has been replaced, and therefore my website, and the control panel I use to update it are now unblocked. This means that I can make use of the resources on my site, as well as write updates such as the blog post I am writing now.

Moving on, the start of the new year has seen us smash past our Christmas targets of 100 subscribers and 10,000 views on the main channel, and the stats currently stand at 111 subscibers and over 11,200 views (when I last checked last night). This is good for us, and we are above our usual averages for view rate, but our subsciber gain rate has slumped slightly. (Source: SocialBlade). The gain in views may be due to the stint of videos I released in the lead up to Christmas day, which was a total of one video per day, way above our normal rate of production.

This may also be in part due to the return of our much anticipated Skyblock adventures after a very long (too long) break. I will be editing episode eight of this when I get home this evening and aim to have it released by Friday, possibly Saturday at the latest.

Please note that I am writing this using Internet Explorer, the only browse installed on the school systems, so forgive any poor spelling.

New Website

7/6/2012

Well, you seem to have found the official website of The Duck Pond, well done, I imagine it wasn't an easy find. I have spent the last few hours setting up the basics of the site and as I sit here I can feel myself becoming bored, and no-one does their best work when they are bored.

Now that I have your attention I will talk a little about the state of our YouTube affairs.
The channel "TheDuckPond01" will remain active, even though it is no longer the main channel of the organisation. Now, the new channel ("TheDuckPondMC") will take over this role. This new channel has been monitized and so we are able to generate some revenue from our efforts, so it is is understandable why we have made the decision to move over to the new channel. We are not purely driven by money, but it is important to get something back financially as I personally have put in well over £150 to fund hard and software.

Thank-you for taking the time to read this, and good-bye for now my friends!
