Videos
Hey. Please be aware that non-admin are not allowed to post videos to this wiki. The ones you uploaded are prime examples of why. First of all, videos must be from a YouTube source that has all the necessary rights to the content. File:Doctor Who Dimensions In Time - Children In Need 1993 (HQ - 480p) was ripped by some guy's video collection. Likewise, File:It's a gas mask does not have the necessary copyrights. While File:The Master steals the Doctor's regenerations - Doctor Who the Movie - BBC does not break Rule 1, it cannot be viewed outside the UK area. This is also not allowed.

For more information on this topic, please see Tardis:Video policy. If you would like to recommend videos to be uploaded by admin, please go to the newly created Tardis:Video recommendations, or T:VREC. Thank you. --SOTO ☎ 00:18, September 7, 2013 (UTC)

Images and videos
Hi! As a new user, you are not aware of our many rules regarding image and video uploading. Your recent uploaded images have been deleted. Please review Tardis:Image use policy before uploading any more images. In addition, as SmallerOnTheOutside mentioned above, only admins are allowed to upload videos. Please review Tardis:Video policy. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  04:10, September 7, 2013 (UTC)

Banned
No second chances on video uploads. T:VID is one of our very most important rules. It shows that we are making a good faith effort to honour the BBC's copyright. I don't think it's at all possible you could have posted a video without seeing, several times, a clear warning not to do it. The punishment provided by policy is very clear and very harsh. Although we normally do give people warnings before we ban them — as Shambala108 quite properly did, above — I'm countermanding her in this instance. Reviewing the nature of what you uploaded, I simply cannot allow you to retain editing rights on this wiki. 16:58: Sat 07 Sep 2013 Additional detail: It is never a pleasant thing to have to permanently ban a user — especially a new user. We want to try hard to help you become an asset to the site. But when people directly threaten the site, as you've unfortunately done, we just can't take a chance that they'll reform.

Let me be clear: nobody in the nine-year history of this wiki has ever committed so many gross copyright violations in so short a time as you did in the past 24 hours or so.

You uploaded multiple full versions of complete shows, including, but not limited to, the entire audio of Doctor Who at the Proms (2013). You uploaded well over a dozen fan-made videos which illegally used BBC content. And you've uploaded new versions of videos on top of old versions, compromising the known copyright status of the original file.

Since there is no way – absolutely no way — that you can upload a video to this site without seeing the big, bold words, "only admin may add videos to this site", you are automatically deemed to have known that what you were doing was contrary to site policy. Not only that, but during the time you uploaded these videos, there was an active forum discussion highlighted that was all about the creation of a new way for users to recommend videos for admin to upload.

Thus, you don't even have what Shambala108 was trying to give you to fall back on: ignorance of policy. Unless you have an inability to read English, which is unlikely, only one conclusion presents itself: You knew the deal, and yet you chose to ignore it. Wilful violation of T:VID must be met with permanent banning for the rule to retain any useful integrity. And that's why we reluctantly, not joyously or frivolously, cannot allow you the luxury of a second chance. 16:58: Sat 07 Sep 2013
