Spamming threads with just an embedded video is not the point of a discussion forum. When the video isn't even in the language of the forum, it's just downright inconsiderate.
Language??, parla un cristiano mon ami
Lol, they can accuse you of being discriminatory, especially because some of your friends here post videos in German and New Zealand all the time without any written topic, I, on the other hand, always accompany with a thought about it, except for this one.
I was wondering when you would come back with this stupidity of yours "only in English" or "no videos, I'll go to YouTube and watch it".
*There is a translation function on YouTube, try it, maybe you will learn something more, to think in this century that the world tours around Europe and only you, are a little Nanderthal, don't you think?

New Zealand? They speak English.
As for the other videos in German, I would feel the same about those. I don't see every video that's posted. I also don't respond every time you spam a thread, but every so often I react, as has happened here.
"Stupidity" of mine? The official forum language is English. It's in the terms and rules, and all members are expected to post in English. Why do you think the rules don't apply to you?
The reason the language of the forum is English is for good reason, and that's so people can discuss cars (this is a discussion forum, after all). If people want to watch videos they can go to YouTube and search for whatever they're looking for . There are also specific areas of THIS forum for videos. Why are you not posting them there instead of clogging up the discussion part? If you want to post a video in this section then it should be part of a broader discussion, and not just spam. It's incredibly annoying and time wasting to click through it, and that you think it's acceptable says everything about you. You're selfish. Some people don't have time to spend hours on here like you do. They have lives and commitments.
As for *me* "learning something", who the f*** do you think you're talking to? I've experienced other cultures on every continent for the last 30 years. I left my home country to live in another. The last thing I am is small-minded. The ironic thing is, you're lecturing me about language, yet you're clearly using an online translator, so get off your high horse.
The same nonsense for years, videos are published here in all languages, again, talk to your gang and you will see that they are the ones who do it the most, it's good that you have a life where you surely bother others, what happened Betty?, did we change the pill?, or did they increase the dose?
Screw you, your discrimination and your stupidity about publishing videos, flat head, arrogant piece of ........

I have complained about other people doing it. You just ignore that. And I've no idea who "my gang" is supposed to be.
I'm asking you to be considerate by not spamming threads with videos and no additional text. I'm quoting the official policy of the forum. It's not just me picking on you:
- You are allowed to post embedded content in thread discussions, however, use moderation when it comes to loosely relevant images and videos. Do not flood official threads. Such actions may be considered spamming. Instead, we encourage you to create new threads (and use prefixes such as Videos, Video Reviews, Pictures, Reviews, Comparison Tests, Photos, etc.), or post your content in existing media-related threads.
And posting a video that isn't in English is twice as annoying. These rules are there for good reason. I don't have time to sit on the forum all day. I come online when I get a spare 15 minutes and click "new posts". I've wasted so much time opening a thread which has new posts, only to find spam. This afternoon pushed me over the edge to react when I click and find it's just a video and in Spanish.
Quit the insults and learn to partcipate in a civilised manner.

Another non-English language video, this time posted to deliberately provoke.

@dalab
- You continue to ignore the spirit in which the forum rules have been set out by the site's owner to preserve the quality and continuity of discussion on this forum.
- You continue to provoke members instead of recognising that your conduct is antagonistic and confrontational.
- You seem to believe that your command of language is of a high standard but whatever online tool(s) you're using, combined with your own "reasoning" contradicts this. We've had many complaints about you and your rambling argumentativeness.
- You are by no means a popular user in the community - not that this is a forum rule but rather an indicator of how you're perceived by members here.
- These observations and sentiments are consistent with all the moderators here.
How?
For responding to provocations? the same ones that here let it escalate to intolerable limits, forcing one to defend oneself?
My last two posts, for those who shamelessly attacked me, how confrontational they are!!...
They call me a Fascist because of the second one, the one with the figures, did you see it? Do you even read them?
Matski did understand it and for the first time the moderation was in my favor, first time, also deserved.
The second, the video, do I have to smoke Big Sam playing the moderator because of the first video in 3 years that I post without a context?
He chooses me, among 15,000 members of the 100,000 who do the same? (with the history I have with him) please that boy you know well that he is the first great expert provocateur.
Define many
I know I'm not popular with you, how come I'm NEVER right and you always give it to others who argue with me?
Once again, define how many, those that I can count on the fingers of one hand, those four or five that are fan for Mercedes and not like what is happening with their venerated brand and almost prohibit anyone from writing about it, jumping to the jugular with unprovoked insults?
Maybe it's time for me to move on to the spectator side a bit, it's evident that the closeness and understanding with some members who are never banned for that same reason, puts me in a bag where I don't want or deserve to be.

Yes, I did see it. To be clear, we're talking about this image you posted:
Without going into a who's who, let's be clear that all that was said was that your data table was wrong - which it is. No big deal.
Instead of just taking the fact, you immediately go on the offensive and start using phrases like "big mouth", "shut your mouth" thereby escalating matters by your own accord.
Matski, seeing that it was a simple mistake came to your defense for which he completely unfairly and undeservedly got criticized for. YOU were the one that escalated things and he ended up taking flak for defending you.
Well, those are the written rules - maybe you need to reflect and consider why you are being singled out?
I have no responsibility to do so.
Maybe it's time for you to recognise the problems you cause and adjust your online persona to be more civil and mature.
As it stands, please engage me no further on this matter. I'm in no way accountable to you and your experience here on this forum.

You've posted SIX in the last week alone.
Rather than posting conjecture, I decided to conduct a search, which took me all of five minutes. You can't argue with facts, although I suspect you probably will. Stop trying to make out you're being unfairly targeted when it's clear to see your own perceptions are very different to the reality.

You accuse me of playing a moderator. The truth is, I don't react to 99% of what I see. On the occasion I do, it doesn't suddenly mean I'm trying to be a moderator.

@Big Sam - in the interests of moderation, I have to point out that dalab is not alone in creating posts solely with youtube vids, and in a foreign language at that. It is something that the forum is beset with and to single out dalab for doing this is unfair. Please refrain from pursuing this argument any further.
I will answer this and withdraw from the topic, I believe I have the right to one last reply.
They always hit you and you have to ask yourself why you? let's balance a bit don't you think?
What is the error? All evils are born from a wrong interpretation, 7 series: 714 units, then I broke it down for informational purposes, 200 of those are i7's, but 7 series are all, that is a fact, it is in the table.
What there is (believe it or not), is an anger of certain fanatics here, after all it is a forum for car enthusiasts and some do not tolerate the facts, (I include myself, but only sometimes).
That's throwing the stone and hiding the hand
That's fine, you're partly right, but as you see, you consider me an inciter instead of someone who calls me "unreliable" because I post real quoted figures!
So I can't post anything that Gianclaudio, Merc1 or Big Sam don't approve?. Have you read his gratuitous insults towards me?
*My humble advice, the culprit is always the one who starts, the criteria to understand that makes a good moderator.

Look at this table carefully and the context of the data it's meant to convey:
There's no way to argue it: for contextual data analysis, the top line "BMW 7 Series" under Units should read 514 and not 714.
This is not about semantics, it's about having the correct context for the data measures presented. It was this error that was highlighted and you were triggered.
You said the data was provided by Leylandi, so let's look at it...
... you transposed the data incorrectly. To me, your error is obvious and inconsequential but to others it IS an error - whether they like you or not is immaterial. When you got made fun of, you lost your cool instead of taking it like a man.
So according to you, the i7 is not a 7 series?, that, is simple not correct.Look at this table carefully and the context of the data it's meant to convey:

The thing about "taking it like a man", it's unnecessary, everyone takes it as they please and the sum and repetition of attacks by these characters towards me (almost without intervention from the forum mods.), sometimes inevitably causes to lose your cool, leading to rage.

So, here we have a perfect example of why you don't ingratiate yourself with forum members.
I gave you a very specific explanation, using the most logical and appropriate terms, as to why the data you posted was rightfully called out as incorrectly presented. You don't understand the meaning of "context in data analytics", you need to google it. So here we are, you arguing in square circles purely for the sake of arguing and wasting others' time. Typical dalab modus operandi. This is why so many members can't tolerate you.
| 7 Series ICE: | 514 |
| 7 Series EV: | 200 |
| Total 7 Series: | 714 |
Since we're here, why don't you do a survey on how many members can't tolerate you?
You have 24 reports against you in the moderation panel. Martin has none.
Among others, one of the reasons you've not been banned 24 times for responding unnecessarily abrasively, is because the person that's reported you was also being a dick.
Martin on the other hand, is showing you patience and tolerance, and everything he's said is reasonable. It would go a long way if, instead of letting your frustration dictate your responses - which it seems to do oh so often these days - you took the time to consider what he's said, it will be time far better spent than getting into tit for tat squabbles with the likes of Big Sam.
I do not particularly want to dwell on any of this, but I would recommend asking an AI service to rewrite the occasional post, improving spelling, punctuation and grammar on your behalf, and perhaps you'll find you're better able to express yourself.
