<br />
== Moderating Users ==<br />
<br />
=== Warnings ===<br />
<br />
==== What constitutes a warning and when to lift it? ====<br />
Warnings should be issued to users who misinterpret the rules and can be set straight by simply telling them to review the rules and [[Guidelines|guidelines]], e.g. users who often mislabel the category can just use the flowchart.<br />
<br />
The point of a warning is to get the user into matrix or discord so that we can talk to them, make sure they go over the guidelines and hopefully learn from their mistake.<br />
<br />
Once they have confirmed they have read the guidelines, checked out their previous mistakes and if applicable, read the [[Segment Categories|corresponding articles]], the warning may be lifted. A possible prompt for this can be<blockquote><nowiki>Please read the guidelines and confirm if you understand the mistakes, or ask any questions if you have any.</nowiki></blockquote><br />
<br />
==== How to issue a warning? ====<br />
In #report-a-user post a message with the warning reasons and link their profile on SBB. The message should look like this:<br />
Warning for <nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/userid/7a7e6f513cd2a7a9abfd5c3dec7c8e2ea0e5e26f2683a83342ebad0f68d7754e/</nowiki><br />
<br />
Reasons:<br />
<br />
Intro covering content:<br />
<nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/video/kTZrV4M5Tcs/</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/video/BoQU3_4o90s/</nowiki><br />
<br />
Sponsor doesn't include segue:<br />
<nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/video/NxYPNNftnNQ/</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/video/Fci_ALdEzGc/</nowiki> <br />
<br />
Other unrelated tips...<br />
<!-- Pasting warning reason is their twice, because it is important. --><br />
The warning reason is everything '''after''' "Reasons". On SBC paste the userID and the warning reason. Please paste the warning reasons! Yes, it can be quite long. If you want to give tips to the user, do it now, as they will see this message. If the user has many wrong segments, but you still feel like a warning is appropriate, consider removing all old segments by banning and unbanning them.<br />
<br />
==== What does the user experience? ====<br />
When the user is submitting or voting on a segment, a chat window of #questions will open and automatically post a message with their warning reason. They cannot navigate to any other channels, so don't link to a discord message or other channels. Their username will be set to their userID and they will see an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alert_dialog_box alertbox] with the following text: <br />
<nowiki>Submission rejected due to a warning from a moderator. This means that we noticed you were making some common mistakes that are not malicious, and we just want to clarify the rules. Could you please send a message in discord.gg/SponsorBlock or matrix.to/#/#sponsor:ajay.app so we can further help you? Your userID is ${userID}.<br />
<br />
<br />
Warning reason: ${reason}</nowiki><br />
<br />
=== Bans ===<br />
Bans of users with many submissions need approval of one other VIP. Don't hold back on banning users, when they submit bad segments. They should be mature enough, that their bad segments show up for everyone to see.<br />
<br />
==== What constitutes a ban? ====<br />
*A ban should be issued to users who break the rules in a way, that explaining them to them would not be feasible.<br />
*Their submissions show disregard of the guidelines, in such a way that good faith cannot be assumed anymore.<br />
**Censoring people or stuff shown for pretty much all reasons<br />
*Submissions were created to lessen the viewer experience.<br />
*It shows, that the user never bothered reading the category descriptions.<br />
<br />
==== How to issue a ban? ====<br />
In #bans post a message with the ban reasons and link their profile on SBB. #bans is a private channel. The message should look like this: <br />
(Recommending) ban for <nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/userid/7a7e6f513cd2a7a9abfd5c3dec7c8e2ea0e5e26f2683a83342ebad0f68d7754e/</nowiki><br />
<br />
Reasons:<br />
<br />
Intro covering content:<br />
<nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/video/kTZrV4M5Tcs/</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/video/BoQU3_4o90s/</nowiki><br />
<br />
Sponsor doesn't include segue:<br />
<nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/video/NxYPNNftnNQ/</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/video/Fci_ALdEzGc/</nowiki> <br />
Wait for another VIP's support with 👍. After receiving approval, head to SBC and ban the user. You may choose to hide categories. Confirm your ban with ✅.<br />
<br />
==== What does the user experience? ====<br />
The user will not notice they have been banned, as we issue only shadowbans. As long as the user still uses the same IP address, they will continue seeing their segments, but no one else will. Their views will stay at zero, so their time saved and related stats will stop changing.<br />
<br />
==== How can I recognize a banned user on SBB? ====<br />
Banned users will have an ❌ in the shadow hidden column of their segments on SBB.<br />
<br />
== Moderating Videos ==<br />
<br />
=== Knowledge of Categories ===<br />
Read [[Segment Categories|these articles]] and the [[Guidelines|guidelines]] and feel free to ask in the discord after checking the wiki.<br />
<br />
=== Manipulating Segments ===<br />
Voting and category changing can be done with SBC or with Deedit's userscript or on YouTube.<br />
* Upvoting a segment will lock it. This means that it will always be shown and immune to downvotes, even from the submitter.<br />
* Downvoting a segment will immediately remove it, no matter whose it is. <br />
** Locked segments are marked yellow to warn the VIP, that this segment was approved by a VIP. If you aren't sure, search for the videoID/UUID in Discord or ask. Not all decisions are well documented.<br />
* Undoing a vote on will revert the segment's votes to what they were before your downvote or upvote. It will also remove other VIP's locks.<br />
* If a segment is in a wrong category, you can change it directly on YouTube, or on SBC. <br />
** Locked categories are colored yellow in the category selector. Be careful when changing to a locked category or submitting in one.<br />
<br />
=== Locking Categories ===<br />
<br />
* Review the entire video and make sure that all displayed segments are correct.<br />
* Make sure to include a reason why segments should not be there if applicable.<br />
* You can lock videos if you are concerned that segments will be spammed, before or after working on a video.<br />
** It is explicitly allowed to lock popular videos at release to prevent spam.<br />
* The most recent lock reason will be displayed.<br />
<br />
When users try to submit a category that is locked, they will receive the following message:<br />
New submissions are not allowed for the following category: {category}. A moderator has decided that no new segments are needed on this video and that all current segments of this category are timed perfectly.<br />
<br />
Lock reason: {reason}<br />
<br />
If you believe this is incorrect, please contact someone on discord.gg/SponsorBlock or matrix.to/#/#sponsor:ajay.app<br />
If the locked category is sponsor, the previous prompt will be expanded by this:<br />
Maybe the segment you are submitting is a different category that you have not enabled and is not a sponsor. Categories that aren't sponsor, such as self-promotion can be enabled in the options.<br />
<br />
=== Submitting Segments ===<br />
Your segments should be perfectly accurate and follow the rules. This is because normal users cannot remove your segments and VIPs don't want to remove other VIPs' segments. If you are unsure, feel free to ask.<br />
<br />
=== Abuse ===<br />
Don't go around downvoting established segments. Odds are, you probably misunderstood the rules and could lose your VIP status if you are incorrigible.<br />
<br />
== Searching Segments ==<br />
When searching for segments en masse, SBB is recommended but has an update delay of 5 minutes.<br />
<br />
Alternatively sb-slash can be used to search for segments on videos<br />
<br />
* /searchsegements - get all segments on video, regardless of votes or hidden status<br />
* /skipsegments - get segments displayed on video<br />
* /segmentinfo - look up information from the segment UUID including user agent</div>Deedithttps://wiki.sponsor.ajay.app/index.php?title=VIP_Guide&diff=632VIP Guide2021-10-20T08:23:55Z<p>Deedit: /* Moderating Users */</p>

=== Warnings ===<br />
<br />
==== What constitutes a warning and when to lift it? ====<br />
Warnings should be issued to users who misinterpret the rules and can be set straight by simply telling them to review the rules and [[Guidelines|guidelines]], e.g. users who often mislabel the category can just use the flowchart.<br />
<br />
The point of a warning is to get the user into matrix or discord so that we can talk to them, make sure they go over the guidelines and hopefully learn from their mistake.<br />
<br />
Once they have confirmed they have read the guidelines, checked out their previous mistakes and if applicable, read the [[Segment Categories|corresponding articles]], the warning may be lifted. A possible prompt for this can be<blockquote><nowiki>Please read the guidelines and confirm if you understand the mistakes, or ask any questions if you have any.</nowiki></blockquote><br />
<br />
==== How to issue a warning? ====<br />
In #report-a-user post a message with the warning reasons and link their profile on SBB. The message should look like this:<br />
Warning for <nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/userid/7a7e6f513cd2a7a9abfd5c3dec7c8e2ea0e5e26f2683a83342ebad0f68d7754e/</nowiki><br />

<br />
Other unrelated tips...<br />
<!-- Pasting warning reason is their twice, because it is important. --><br />
The warning reason is everything '''after''' "Reasons". On SBC paste the userID and the warning reason. Please paste the warning reasons! Yes, it can be quite long. If you want to give tips to the user, do it now, as they will see this message. If the user has many wrong segments, but you still feel like a warning is appropriate, consider removing all old segments by banning and unbanning them.<br />
<br />
==== What does the user experience? ====<br />
When the user is submitting or voting on a segment, a chat window of #questions will open and automatically post a message with their warning reason. They cannot navigate to any other channels, so don't link to a discord message or other channels. Their username will be set to their userID and they will see an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alert_dialog_box alertbox] with the following text: <br />
<nowiki>Submission rejected due to a warning from a moderator. This means that we noticed you were making some common mistakes that are not malicious, and we just want to clarify the rules. Could you please send a message in discord.gg/SponsorBlock or matrix.to/#/#sponsor:ajay.app so we can further help you? Your userID is ${userID}.<br />
<br />
<br />
Warning reason: ${reason}</nowiki><br />
<br />
=== Bans ===<br />
Bans of users with many submissions need approval of one other VIP. Don't hold back on banning users, when they submit bad segments. They should be mature enough, that their bad segments show up for everyone to see.<br />
<br />
==== What constitutes a ban? ====<br />
*A ban should be issued to users who break the rules in a way, that them explaining to them would not fix<br />
*Their submissions show disregard of the guidelines, in such a way that good faith cannot be assumed anymore.<br />
**Censoring people or stuff shown for pretty much all reasons<br />
*Submissions were created to lessen the viewer experience.<br />
*It shows, that the user never bothered reading the category descriptions.<br />
<br />
==== How to issue a ban? ====<br />
In #bans post a message with the ban reasons and link their profile on SBB. #bans is a private channel. The message should look like this: <br />
(Recommending) ban for <nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/userid/7a7e6f513cd2a7a9abfd5c3dec7c8e2ea0e5e26f2683a83342ebad0f68d7754e/</nowiki><br />

Wait for another VIP's support with 👍. After receiving approval, head to SBC and ban the user. You may choose to hide categories. Confirm your ban with ✅.<br />
<br />
==== What does the user experience? ====<br />
The user will not notice they have been banned, as we issue only shadowbans. As long as the user still uses the same IP address, they will continue seeing their segments, but no one else will. Their views will stay at zero, so their time saved and related stats will stop changing.<br />
<br />
==== How can I recognize a banned user on SBB? ====<br />
Banned users will have an ❌ in the shadow hidden column of their segments on SBB.<br />
<br />
== Moderating Videos ==<br />
<br />
=== Knowledge of Categories ===<br />
Read [[Segment Categories|these articles]] and the [[Guidelines|guidelines]] and feel free to ask in the discord after checking the wiki.<br />
<br />
=== Manipulating Segments ===<br />
Voting and category changing can be done with SBC or with Deedit's userscript or on YouTube.<br />
* Upvoting a segment will lock it. This means that it will always be shown and immune to downvotes, even from the submitter.<br />
* Downvoting a segment will immediately remove it, no matter whose it is. <br />
** Locked segments are marked yellow to warn the VIP, that this segment was approved by a VIP. If you aren't sure, search for the videoID/UUID in Discord or ask. Not all decisions are well documented.<br />
* Undoing a vote on will revert the segment's votes to what they were before your downvote or upvote. It will also remove other VIP's locks.<br />
* If a segment is in a wrong category, you can change it directly on YouTube, or on SBC. <br />
** Locked categories are colored yellow in the category selector. Be careful when changing to a locked category or submitting in one.<br />
<br />
=== Locking Categories ===<br />
<br />
* Review the entire video and make sure that all displayed segments are correct.<br />
* Make sure to include a reason why segments should not be there if applicable.<br />
* You can lock videos if you are concerned that segments will be spammed, before or after working on a video.<br />
** It is explicitly allowed to lock popular videos at release to prevent spam.<br />
* The most recent lock reason will be displayed.<br />
<br />
When users try to submit a category that is locked, they will receive the following message:<br />
New submissions are not allowed for the following category: {category}. A moderator has decided that no new segments are needed on this video and that all current segments of this category are timed perfectly.<br />
<br />
Lock reason: {reason}<br />
<br />
If you believe this is incorrect, please contact someone on discord.gg/SponsorBlock or matrix.to/#/#sponsor:ajay.app<br />
If the locked category is sponsor, the previous prompt will be expanded by this:<br />
Maybe the segment you are submitting is a different category that you have not enabled and is not a sponsor. Categories that aren't sponsor, such as self-promotion can be enabled in the options.<br />
<br />
=== Submitting Segments ===<br />
Your segments should be perfectly accurate and follow the rules. This is because normal users cannot remove your segments and VIPs don't want to remove other VIPs' segments. If you are unsure, feel free to ask.<br />
<br />
=== Abuse ===<br />
Don't go around downvoting established segments. Odds are, you probably misunderstood the rules and could lose your VIP status if you are incorrigible.<br />
<br />
== Searching Segments ==<br />
When searching for segments en masse, SBB is recommended but has an update delay of 5 minutes.<br />
<br />
Alternatively sb-slash can be used to search for segments on videos<br />
<br />
* /searchsegements - get all segments on video, regardless of votes or hidden status<br />
* /skipsegments - get segments displayed on video<br />
* /segmentinfo - look up information from the segment UUID including user agent</div>Deedithttps://wiki.sponsor.ajay.app/index.php?title=Filler_Tangent/Jokes&diff=622Filler Tangent/Jokes2021-10-19T18:13:16Z<p>Deedit: /* Examples */</p>

Don't question VIPS on submitting a segment with a small difference to yours, unless you believe the new segment is worse than the original. In the end it is about creating good segments and not about your stats.<br />

=== Warnings ===<br />
<br />
==== What constitutes a warning and when to lift it? ====<br />
Warnings should be issued to users who misinterpret the rules and can be set straight by simply telling them to review the rules and [[Guidelines|guidelines]], e.g. users who often mislabel the category can just use the flowchart.<br />
<br />
The point of a warning is to get the user into matrix or discord so that we can talk to them, make sure they go over the guidelines and hopefully learn from their mistake.<br />
<br />
Once they have confirmed they have read the guidelines, checked out their previous mistakes and if applicable, read the [[Segment Categories|corresponding articles]], the warning may be lifted. A possible prompt for this can be<blockquote><nowiki>Please read the guidelines and confirm if you understand the mistakes, or ask any questions if you have any.</nowiki></blockquote><br />
<br />
==== How to issue a warning? ====<br />
In #report-a-user post a message with the warning reasons and link their profile on SBB. The message should look like this:<br />
Warning for <nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/userid/7a7e6f513cd2a7a9abfd5c3dec7c8e2ea0e5e26f2683a83342ebad0f68d7754e/</nowiki><br />

Other unrelated tips...<br />
<!-- Pasting warning reason is their twice, because it is important. --><br />
The warning reason is everything '''after''' "Reasons". On SBC paste the userID and the warning reason. Please paste the warning reasons! If you want to give tips to the user, do it now, as they will see this message. If the user has many wrong segments, but you still feel like a warning is appropriate, consider removing all old segments by banning and unbanning them.<br />
<br />
==== What does the user experience? ====<br />
When the user is submitting or voting on a segment, a chat window of #questions will open and automatically post a message with their warning reason. They cannot navigate to any other channels, so don't link to discord message or other channels. Their username will be set to their userID and they will see an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alert_dialog_box alertbox] with the following text: <br />

Bans of users with many submissions need approval of one other VIP. Don't hold back on banning users, when they submit bad segments. They should be mature enough, that their bad segments show up for everyone to see.<br />
<br />
==== What constitutes a ban? ====<br />
*A ban should be issued to users who break the rules in a way, that them explaining to them would not fix<br />
*Their submissions show disregard of the guidelines, in such a way that good faith cannot be assumed anymore.<br />
**Censoring people or stuff shown for pretty much all reasons<br />
*Submissions were created to lessen the viewer experience.<br />
*It shows, that the user never bothered reading the category descriptions.<br />

<br />
=== Manipulating Segments ===<br />
Voting and category changing can be done with SBC or with Deedit's userscript or on YouTube.<br />
* Upvoting a segment will lock it. This means that it will always be shown and immune to downvotes, even from the submitter.<br />
* Downvoting a segment will immediately remove it, no matter whose it is. <br />
** Locked segments are marked yellow to warn the VIP, that this segment was approved by a VIP. If you aren't sure, search for the videoID/UUID in Discord or ask. Not all decisions are well documented.<br />
* Undoing a vote on will revert the segment's votes to what they were before your downvote or upvote. It will also remove other VIP's locks.<br />
* If a segment is in a wrong category, you can change it directly on YouTube, or on SBC. <br />
** Locked categories are colored yellow in the category selector. Be careful when changing to a locked category or submitting in one.<br />
<br />
=== Locking Categories ===<br />
<br />
* Review the entire video and make sure that all displayed segments are correct.<br />
* Make sure to include a reason why segments should not be there if applicable.<br />
* You can lock videos if you are concerned that segments will be spammed, before or after working on a video.<br />
** It is explicitly allowed to lock popular videos at release to prevent spam.<br />
* The most recent lock reason will be displayed.<br />
<br />
When users try to submit a category that is locked, they will receive the following message:<br />
New submissions are not allowed for the following category: {category}. A moderator has decided that no new segments are needed on this video and that all current segments of this category are timed perfectly.<br />
<br />
Lock reason: {reason}<br />
<br />
If you believe this is incorrect, please contact someone on discord.gg/SponsorBlock or matrix.to/#/#sponsor:ajay.app<br />
If the locked category is sponsor, the previous prompt will be expanded by this:<br />
Maybe the segment you are submitting is a different category that you have not enabled and is not a sponsor. Categories that aren't sponsor, such as self-promotion can be enabled in the options.<br />
<br />
=== Submitting Segments ===<br />
Your segments should be perfectly accurate and follow the rules. This is because normal users cannot remove your segments and VIPs don't want to remove other VIPs' segments. If you are unsure, feel free to ask.<br />
<br />
=== Abuse ===<br />
Don't go around downvoting established segments. Odds are, you probably misunderstood the rules and could lose your VIP status if you are incorrigible.<br />
<br />
== Searching Segments ==<br />
When searching for segments en masse, SBB is recommended but has an update delay of 5 minutes.<br />

== Moderating Users ==<br />
<br />
=== Warnings ===<br />
<br />
==== What constitutes a warning and when to lift it? ====<br />
Warnings should be issued to users who misinterpret the rules and can be set straight by simply telling them to review the rules and [[Guidelines|guidelines]], e.g. users who often mislabel the category can just use the flowchart.<br />
<br />
The point of a warning is to get the user into matrix or discord so that we can talk to them, make sure they go over the guidelines and hopefully learn from their mistake.<br />
<br />
Once they have confirmed they have read the guidelines, checked out their previous mistakes and if applicable, read the [[Segment Categories|corresponding articles]], the warning may be lifted. A possible prompt for this can be<blockquote><nowiki>Please read the guidelines and confirm if you understand the mistakes, or ask any questions if you have any.</nowiki></blockquote><br />
<br />
==== How to issue a warning? ====<br />
In #report-a-user post a message with the warning reasons and link their profile on SBB. The message should look like this:<br />
Warning for <nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/userid/7a7e6f513cd2a7a9abfd5c3dec7c8e2ea0e5e26f2683a83342ebad0f68d7754e/</nowiki><br />

<br />
Other unrelated tips...<br />
<!-- Pasting warning reason is their twice, because it is important. --><br />
The warning reason is everything '''after''' "Reasons". On SBC paste the userID and the warning reason. Please paste the warning reasons! If you want to give tips to the user, do it now, as they will see this message. If the user has many wrong segments, but you still feel like a warning is appropriate, consider removing all old segments by banning and unbanning them.<br />
<br />
==== What does the user experience? ====<br />
When the user is submitting or voting on a segment, a chat window of #questions will open and automatically post a message with their warning reason. They cannot navigate to any other channels, so don't link to discord message or other channels. Their username will be set to their userID and they will see an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alert_dialog_box alertbox] with the following text: <br />
<nowiki>Submission rejected due to a warning from a moderator. This means that we noticed you were making some common mistakes that are not malicious, and we just want to clarify the rules. Could you please send a message in discord.gg/SponsorBlock or matrix.to/#/#sponsor:ajay.app so we can further help you? Your userID is ${userID}.<br />
<br />
<br />
Warning reason: ${reason}</nowiki><br />
<br />
=== Bans ===<br />
Bans of users with many submissions need approval of one other VIP. Don't hold back on banning users, when they submit bad segments. They should be mature enough, that their bad segments show up for everyone to see.<br />
<br />
==== What constitutes a ban? ====<br />
*A ban should be issued to users who break the rules in a way, that them explaining to them would not fix<br />
*Their submissions show disregard of the guidelines, in such a way that good faith cannot be assumed anymore.<br />
**Censoring people or stuff shown for pretty much all reasons<br />
*Submissions were created to lessen the viewer experience.<br />
*It shows, that the user never bothered reading the category descriptions.<br />
<br />
==== How to issue a ban? ====<br />
In #bans post a message with the ban reasons and link their profile on SBB. #bans is a private channel. The message should look like this: <br />
(Recommending) ban for <nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/userid/7a7e6f513cd2a7a9abfd5c3dec7c8e2ea0e5e26f2683a83342ebad0f68d7754e/</nowiki><br />
<br />
Reasons:<br />
<br />
Intro covering content:<br />

<nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/video/Fci_ALdEzGc/</nowiki> <br />
Wait for another VIP's support with 👍. After receiving approval, head to SBC and ban the user. You may choose to hide categories. Confirm your ban with ✅.<br />
<br />
==== What does the user experience? ====<br />
The user will not notice they have been banned, as we issue only shadowbans. As long as the user still uses the same IP address, they will continue seeing their segments, but no one else will. Their views will stay at zero, so their time saved and related stats will stop changing.<br />
<br />
==== How can I recognize a banned user on SBB? ====<br />
Banned users will have an ❌ in the shadow hidden column of their segments on SBB.<br />
<br />
== Moderating Videos ==<br />
<br />
=== Knowledge of Categories ===<br />
Read [[Segment Categories|these articles]] and the [[Guidelines|guidelines]] and feel free to ask in the discord after checking the wiki.<br />
<br />
=== Manipulating Segments ===<br />
Voting and category changing can be done with SBC or with Deedit's userscript or on YouTube.<br />
*Upvoting a segment will lock it. This means that it will always be shown and immune to downvotes, even from the submitter.<br />
*Downvoting a segment will immediately remove it, no matter whose it is. Locked segments will be marked yellow to warn the VIP, that this segment was approved by a VIP. If you aren't sure, search for the videoID/UUID in discord or ask.<br />
*Undoing a vote on will revert the segment's votes to what they were before your downvote or upvote. It will also remove other VIP's locks.<br />
*If a segment is in a wrong category, you can change it directly on YouTube, or on SBC.<br />
<br />
=== Locking Categories ===<br />
<br />
* Review the entire video and make sure that all displayed segments are correct.<br />
* Make sure to include a reason why segments should not be there if applicable.<br />
* You can lock videos if you are concerned that segments will be spammed, before or after working on a video.<br />
** It is explicitly allowed to lock popular videos at release to prevent spam.<br />
* The most recent lock reason will be displayed.<br />
<br />
When users try to submit a category that is locked, they will receive the following message:<br />
New submissions are not allowed for the following category: {category}. A moderator has decided that no new segments are needed on this video and that all current segments of this category are timed perfectly.<br />
<br />
Lock reason: {reason}<br />
<br />
If you believe this is incorrect, please contact someone on discord.gg/SponsorBlock or matrix.to/#/#sponsor:ajay.app<br />
If the locked category is sponsor, the previous prompt will be expanded by this:<br />
Maybe the segment you are submitting is a different category that you have not enabled and is not a sponsor. Categories that aren't sponsor, such as self-promotion can be enabled in the options.<br />
<br />
=== Submitting Segments ===<br />
Your segments should be perfectly accurate and follow the rules. This is because normal users cannot remove your segments and VIPs don't want to remove other VIPs' segments. If you are unsure, feel free to ask.<br />
<br />
=== Abuse ===<br />
Don't go around downvoting established segments. Odds are, you probably misunderstood the rules and could lose your VIP status if you are incorrigible.<br />
<br />
== Searching Segments ==<br />
When searching for segments en masse, SBB is recommended but has an update delay of 5 minutes.<br />
<br />
Alternatively sb-slash can be used to search for segments on videos<br />
<br />
* /searchsegements - get all segments on video, regardless of votes or hidden status<br />
* /skipsegments - get segments displayed on video<br />
* /segmentinfo - look up information from the segment UUID including user agent</div>Deedithttps://wiki.sponsor.ajay.app/index.php?title=Preview/Recap/Hook&diff=610Preview/Recap/Hook2021-10-15T15:26:12Z<p>Deedit: /* Description */</p>

<div>== Preview ==<br />

For segments that show what is coming up in this or future videos of the same series, but do not provide additional context with text overlays or voice-overs. If it includes clips that only appear here, this is very likely not the right category.<br />

<br />
== Recap ==<br />
=== Description ===<br />
For segments that show what happened in this or past videos of the same series, but do not provide additional context with text overlays or voice-overs. If it includes clips that only appear here, this is not the right category. If the video that is recapped is not directly linked to the current video, but clips from the recapped video are shown, you shouldn't submit them either, because others have probably not watched the recapped video.<br />

<div>__FORCETOC__<br />
<br />
This article covers tools and work sequences for [[VIP|VIPs]]. VIPs can help moderate videos and investigate potential abuse if they have the time for it, but there are no expectations for the amount of work or commitment. VIP is a permission level, not a job.<br />
<br />
== Code of Conduct ==<br />
Don't question VIPS on submitting a segment with a small difference to yours, unless you believe the new segment is worse than the original. In the end it is about creating good segments and not about your stats.<br />
<br />
== Tools and Terminology ==<br />
*[https://sb.ltn.fi/ SponsorBlock Browser] by Lartza. Short: SBB<br />
**[https://gist.github.com/MRuy/ca74d6a359c487d760f4a698e76fb0d6 Userscripts] by Nanobyte. They make SBB prettier and easier to read, aswell as utility.<br />
**[https://gist.github.com/TheJzoli/8a4cd979d433b7359cdf61c238bc0181 Userscripts] by TheJzoli. Small user experience improvements for SBB.<br />

**Explanations of all features at the top of the respective sites. You will need a userscript manager like [https://www.tampermonkey.net/ Tampermonkey]. Press raw on the right of the filename and then install.<br />
*[https://mruy.github.io/sponsorBlockControl/ SponsorBlockControl] by Nanobyte. Short: SBC<br />
*[https://github.com/mchangrh/sb-slash sb-slash] by mchangrh.<br />
*For opening the SBB page of a video while on its page add this as a bookmarklet: <code><nowiki>javascript:(function(){window.open('https://sb.ltn.fi/video/' + new URL(document.URL).searchParams.get("v") + '/')})()</nowiki></code><br />
*👍 is commonly used to show support for a message, supporting a ban or another action taken while ✅ is used to show confirmation, that a video in #incorrect-submissions has been handled or a user's ban has gone through. Alt + left click will add an emoji to your favorites.<br />
<br />
== Moderating Users ==<br />
<br />
=== Warnings ===<br />
<br />
==== What constitutes a warning and when to lift it? ====<br />
Warnings should be issued to users who misinterpret the rules and can be set straight by simply telling them to review the rules and [[Guidelines|guidelines]], e.g. users who often mislabel the category can just use the flowchart.<br />
<br />
The point of a warning is to get the user into matrix or discord so that we can talk to them, make sure they go over the guidelines and hopefully learn from their mistake.<br />
<br />
Once they have confirmed they have read the guidelines, checked out their previous mistakes and if applicable, read the [[Segment Categories|corresponding articles]], the warning may be lifted. A possible prompt for this can be<blockquote><nowiki>Please read the guidelines and confirm if you understand the mistakes, or ask any questions if you have any.</nowiki></blockquote><br />
<br />
==== How to issue a warning? ====<br />
In #report-a-user post a message with the warning reasons and link their profile on SBB. The message should look like this:<br />
Warning for <nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/userid/7a7e6f513cd2a7a9abfd5c3dec7c8e2ea0e5e26f2683a83342ebad0f68d7754e/</nowiki><br />
<br />
Reasons:<br />
<br />
Intro covering content:<br />
<nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/video/kTZrV4M5Tcs/</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/video/BoQU3_4o90s/</nowiki><br />
<br />
Sponsor doesn't include segue:<br />
<nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/video/NxYPNNftnNQ/</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/video/Fci_ALdEzGc/</nowiki> <br />
<br />
Other unrelated tips...<br />
<!-- Pasting warning reason is their twice, because it is important. --><br />
The warning reason is everything '''after''' "Reasons". On SBC paste the userID and the warning reason. Please paste the warning reasons! If you want to give tips to the user, do it now, as they will see this message. If the user has many wrong segments, but you still feel like a warning is appropriate, consider removing all old segments by banning and unbanning them.<br />
<br />
==== What does the user experience? ====<br />
When the user is submitting or voting on a segment, a chat window of #questions will open and automatically post a message with their warning reason. They cannot navigate to any other channels, so don't link to discord message or other channels. Their username will be set to their userID and they will see an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alert_dialog_box alertbox] with the following text: <br />
<nowiki>Submission rejected due to a warning from a moderator. This means that we noticed you were making some common mistakes that are not malicious, and we just want to clarify the rules. Could you please send a message in discord.gg/SponsorBlock or matrix.to/#/#sponsor:ajay.app so we can further help you? Your userID is ${userID}.<br />
<br />
<br />
Warning reason: ${reason}</nowiki><br />
<br />
=== Bans ===<br />
Bans of users with many submissions need approval of one other VIP. Don't hold back on banning users, when they submit bad segments. They should be mature enough, that their bad segments show up for everyone to see.<br />
<br />
==== What constitutes a ban? ====<br />
*A ban should be issued to users who break the rules in a way, that them explaining to them would not fix<br />
*Their submissions show disregard of the guidelines, in such a way that good faith cannot be assumed anymore.<br />
**Censoring people or stuff shown for pretty much all reasons<br />
*Submissions were created to lessen the viewer experience.<br />
*It shows, that the user never bothered reading the category descriptions.<br />
<br />
==== How to issue a ban? ====<br />
In #bans post a message with the ban reasons and link their profile on SBB. #bans is a private channel. The message should look like this: <br />
(Recommending) ban for <nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/userid/7a7e6f513cd2a7a9abfd5c3dec7c8e2ea0e5e26f2683a83342ebad0f68d7754e/</nowiki><br />
<br />
Reasons:<br />
<br />
Intro covering content:<br />
<nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/video/kTZrV4M5Tcs/</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/video/BoQU3_4o90s/</nowiki><br />
<br />
Sponsor doesn't include segue:<br />
<nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/video/NxYPNNftnNQ/</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/video/Fci_ALdEzGc/</nowiki> <br />
Wait for another VIP's support with 👍. After receiving approval, head to SBC and ban the user. You may choose to hide categories. Confirm your ban with ✅.<br />
<br />
==== What does the user experience? ====<br />
The user will not notice they have been banned, as we issue only shadowbans. As long as the user still uses the same IP address, they will continue seeing their segments, but no one else will. Their views will stay at zero, so their time saved and related stats will stop changing.<br />
<br />
==== How can I recognize a banned user on SBB? ====<br />
Banned users will have an ❌ in the shadow hidden column of their segments on SBB.<br />
<br />
== Moderating Videos ==<br />
<br />
=== Knowledge of Categories ===<br />
Read [[Segment Categories|these articles]] and the [[Guidelines|guidelines]] and feel free to ask in the discord after checking the wiki.<br />
<br />
=== Manipulating Segments ===<br />
Voting and category changing can be done with SBC or with Deedit's userscript or on YouTube.<br />
*Upvoting a segment will lock it. This means that it will always be shown and immune to downvotes, even from the submitter.<br />
*Downvoting a segment will immediately remove it, no matter whose it is.<br />
*Undoing a vote on will revert the segment's votes to what they were before your downvote or upvote. It will also remove other VIP's locks.<br />
*If a segment is in a wrong category, you can change it directly on YouTube, or on SBC.<br />
<br />
=== Locking Categories ===<br />
<br />
* Review the entire video and make sure that all displayed segments are correct.<br />
* Make sure to include a reason why segments should not be there if applicable.<br />
* You can lock videos if you are concerned that segments will be spammed, before or after working on a video.<br />
** It is explicitly allowed to lock popular videos at release to prevent spam.<br />
* The most recent lock reason will be displayed.<br />
<br />
When users try to submit a category that is locked, they will receive the following message:<br />
New submissions are not allowed for the following category: {category}. A moderator has decided that no new segments are needed on this video and that all current segments of this category are timed perfectly.<br />
<br />
Lock reason: {reason}<br />
<br />
If you believe this is incorrect, please contact someone on discord.gg/SponsorBlock or matrix.to/#/#sponsor:ajay.app<br />
If the locked category is sponsor, the previous prompt will be expanded by this:<br />
Maybe the segment you are submitting is a different category that you have not enabled and is not a sponsor. Categories that aren't sponsor, such as self-promotion can be enabled in the options.<br />
<br />
=== Submitting Segments ===<br />
Your segments should be perfectly accurate and follow the rules. This is because normal users cannot remove your segments and VIPs don't want to remove other VIPs' segments. If you are unsure, feel free to ask.<br />
<br />
=== Abuse ===<br />
Don't go around downvoting established segments. Odds are, you probably misunderstood the rules and could lose your VIP status if you are incorrigible.<br />
<br />
== Searching Segments ==<br />
When searching for segments en masse, SBB is recommended but has an update delay of 5 minutes.<br />
<br />
Alternatively sb-slash can be used to search for segments on videos<br />
<br />
* /searchsegements - get all segments on video, regardless of votes or hidden status<br />
* /skipsegments - get segments displayed on video<br />
* /segmentinfo - look up information from the segment UUID including user agent</div>Deedithttps://wiki.sponsor.ajay.app/index.php?title=VIP&diff=583VIP2021-10-02T15:05:02Z<p>Deedit: /* Moderating segments */</p>
<hr />
<div>VIP permission allows a user to have moderation-like powers in SponsorBlock. In the [https://sb.ltn.fi/ data base explorer] you can recognize them by the 👑 (crown) next to their votes. On the [https://discord.gg/QnmVMpU discord] you can recognize them by their VIP role and maybe a green or light-green colored username.<br />
<br />
==Moderating segments==<br />
Like any other user, VIPs can downvote segments. A segment downvoted by a VIP will not be shown to users anymore. VIPs can lock segments. Locked segments are indicated by a 🔒 (lock) in the [https://sb.ltn.fi/ data base explorer] and will take priority over non-locked segments with similar timestamps. Locked segments can only be changed by VIPs and all segments created by a VIP are locked by default.<br />
<br />
VIPs can also lock categories on videos to prevent future submissions for one or more categories. This is done to prevent future segments from having the same faults. For instance, if a video has a spoken introduction which people keep marking as an intro, then a VIP can lock the intro category so that mistake will no longer happen. Also, if a very popular video is being spammed with submissions and it already has all the required segments marked correctly, a VIP can lock all categories to prevent future submissions on that video. Also VIPs can use this to lock a popular video right after its release, so they can calmly create all segments without other segments loading.<br />
<br />
If you think a VIP has made a mistake, send a link to the video along with a brief explanation to the #incorrect-submissions channel in the [https://discord.gg/QnmVMpU discord].<br />
<br />
==Moderating users==<br />
Users can be moderated in two ways: banning and warning.<br />
<br />
Warnings are issued to users who make common mistakes when submitting segments. Upon trying to submit their next segment or voting on a segment they will receive a popup prompting them to ask about their warning on [https://discord.gg/QnmVMpU discord] or [https://matrix.to/#/+sponsorblock:ajay.app Matrix].<br />
<br />
A ban is always approved by at least two VIPs. The ban may also entail the removal of all submissions.<br />
<br />
Behavior that will result in a ban consists of but is not limited to:<br />
*Malicious segments such as:<br />
**Censoring certain people regardless of what they did or who they are.<br />
**Censoring a part of a video containing information which is not a sponsor or other valid segment. (Politics, Religion, etc).<br />
**Submitting segments to stop people from viewing creators.<br />
**Vandalizing a video by submitting many incorrect segments, making the video hard to watch.<br />
*Submitting segments that are consistently badly timed. If the segment degrades the [[Guidelines#Reduces_viewer_experience | viewer experience]] because it is badly timed, it shouldn't be there in the first place.<br />
*Submitting segments for sponsors, intros, self-promos, etc. that do not exist.<br />
*Submitting incorrect segments that are absurdly long to try and farm saved time and skips.<br />
<br />
==Expectation of VIPs==<br />
*VIPs are expected to only submit perfect segments, as they are excluded from the normal voting process.<br />
*VIPs can help moderate videos and investigate potential abuse, if they have the time for it, but there is no expectation that they will.<br />
<br />
==How can I become a VIP?==<br />
===== Requirements: =====<br />
*You should have a good understanding of how categories are supposed to be applied.<br />
*Your segments should be timed perfectly and follow the [[Advice_for_submitting | advanced submission tips]].<br />
*You are careful with how you vote on other people's segments. VIP votes have much more weight to them.<br />
===== How to show you meet the requirements: =====<br />
*You should have saved other people a substantial amount of time across many segments.<br />
*You should have a low percentage of ignored views and ignored submissions.<br />
*You should have submitted many correct segments across various categories.<br />
*Consider posting any incorrect segments you encounter in #incorrect-submissions on [https://discord.gg/QnmVMpU discord] so we can see how you would apply the [[Guidelines]] and [[Segment_Categories|categories]].<br />
To actually become a VIP you will need to request the "Requesting to be VIP" role in #help-out on [https://discord.gg/QnmVMpU discord] by reacting to a message. This unlocks the channel #vip-request in which you will have to link your userID preferably via the [https://sb.ltn.fi/ data base explorer]. It is not guaranteed that you will become a VIP and simply asking often won't raise your chances. You need to improve.<br />

__FORCETOC__<br />
=== Description ===<br />
This is for promotions, for which the YouTuber will not receive payment. This also includes the segues used to smoothly transition into and out of the segment.<br />
<br />
'''This includes:''' <br />
*Merchandise or Patreon<br />
*Videos or playlists<br />
*Charities, products or websites they like<br />
*Information about whom they collaborated with<br />
*Shout-outs with no money exchanged<br />
*Giveaways with no involvement of a 3rd party and the announcement of the winner<br />
**No money exchanged<br />
**Content YouTuber should have full control<br />
**Products should be purchased by the YouTuber<br />
* Asking for paid/free services from their subscribers (fainmail, video clips)<br />
** Just [[Mute_Segment|mute the segment]], if it would cover content.<br />
<br />
=== Exceptions/ Edge Cases ===<br />
The decision on whether it should be marked sponsor or unpaid promotion is influenced by several factors.<br />
<br />
'''For example:'''<br />
#Did they receive money as well as the product? If so, then it should be marked [[Sponsor]].<br />
#Are they obviously linked with the product they are promoting? If so, then it should be marked Unpaid/ Self Promotion.<br />
#Does the product they are promoting have their branding, similar to merch? If so, then it should be marked Unpaid/ Self Promotion.<br />
If the separation isn't feasible, because it would create an awkward transition, or the interaction reminder would be to short, calls-to-actions like subscribing or liking the video can be included in Unpaid/ Self Promotion<br />

<div>Users are encouraged to '''downvote''' and '''avoid making''' segments with the following issues:<br />
<br />
# '''The segment doesn't fit the category it's in.''' For example, when using the &quot;sponsor&quot; category, segments should contain advertisements ''for someone else'', that the video creator gets money for. Anything else should be either not submitted, or submitted as another category.<br />
#* Read [[Segment_Categories|this article]] for the current category list along with category descriptions.<br />
# '''It cuts information relevant to the video's subject.''' Always avoid this.<br />
# '''The whole video is about (or closely related to) the thing you're making a segment on.'''<br />
#* For example, if the whole video is a sponsor, don't make sponsor segments.<br />
#* If the video isn't entirely about a sponsor but could show bias for it, don't cut sponsor disclosures.<br />
# '''The transition feels awkward (poorly timed, not seamless).''' For example, when possible, avoid cutting in the middle of words, or on an unfinished sentence. The other points take precedence, however.<br />
#* You should cut segues (sections made specifically to smoothly move into a sponsor) when possible<br />
# '''It sneaks things not relevant to the segment type or not necessary to make the segment seamless.'''<br />
# '''Skipping it would detract from the viewer experience'''<br />
#* Don't cut what is merely visual and occurs during actual content.<br />

Please check out [[Advice_for_submitting | this page]] for more tips.<br />
<br />
==I noticed an incorrect submission. What should I do?==<br />
The first thing you can do is simply downvote it in the pop-up. If it's just the wrong category but correctly timed, you can select &quot;Wrong Category&quot;. Additionally, when the timing of an existing segment could be better, submitting your own correct segment in its place may reduce the amount of times the faulty one appears.<br />
<br />
If you're on SponsorBlock [https://discord.gg/QnmVMpU Discord server], feel free to report it in the #incorrect-submissions channel, where a [[VIP]] can take a look at it. Even if the video is not in English, you can still give it a shot. Especially if you believe it’s a purposefully malicious spam, we would really like to be notified.<br />
<br />
==Why am I getting an error when trying to submit a segment?==<br />
400: Bad Request (Your inputs are wrong/impossible)<br />
*Your segment is maybe 0 seconds long<br />
*There is a minimum length for Sponsor segments<br />
403: Rejected by auto moderator:<br />
*A human moderator has locked the category or the complete video, all the segments that are needed are there and timed perfectly. If there isn't already a segment where you want to add one, try reloading the video. Make sure that you have activated all categories, as the segment you want to add is maybe in the wrong category. The video is locked to prevent spamming of bad segments that need to be removed later.<br />
409: Duplicate: You already submitted this segment, delete the one you can still add and all should be good<br />
<br />
==How is “non-music” supposed to co-exist with other categories?==<br />
[[Music:_Non-Music_Section | Non-music]] exists separately from other categories and may overlap with them. In the end, the video should resemble the Spotify or any other mix version as close as possible.<br />
<br />
==What are advanced tips for submitting?==<br />
You can find many tips in [[Advice_for_submitting | this article]].<br />
<!--<br />
These are some steps to take if you’re willing to spend a little bit more time to ensure perfect submissions:<br />
*First of all, activate all categories. This ensures that you don't accidentally submit a segment that already exists in an other category.<br />
*When there is a visible transition and a small margin of error, don’t try to get it right with play/pause. Use the &quot;,&quot; and &quot;.&quot; keys and move frame by frame. Pay attention if the video is 30 or 60 fps. If possible, make your segments start two frames early on 30 fps videos and four frames early on 60 fps videos, so there isn't an annoying bump.<br />
*Segments of different categories that are right next to each other should ''slightly'' overlap. The reason for this is that every segment should be correct and seamless on its own and make sense from a perspective of a user with only one category enabled.<br />
*If you submit a long intermission segment on a live-streamed video, take a look at it after some time. Very often large chunks of such videos are removed afterwards with YouTube trimming tool by the streamer, which messes up the submissions and makes it necessary to delete them.<br />
*When adjusting a non-music segment in the editing box, changing the playback speed to 0.25 allows for much greater precision, letting you place your segment as close to the music as possible without accidentally cutting any of it.<br />
*If the video has subtitles, even auto-generated ones, you can open the transcript and search for keywords. If the creator introduces a sponsor at the beginning of a long video, you could for example search their name or other keywords like &quot;sponsor&quot;, &quot;subscribe&quot;, etc to check if they're briefly mentioned later.<br />
--><br />
<br />
==How to browse the database and view all my submissions with details?==<br />
*You can view the database and all submissions on this website: https://sb.ltn.fi/ (this should update every 5 minutes)<br />
*You can download the entire database [https://sponsor.ajay.app/database here].<br />
Note: Your public userID in the database is different than your private one in the SponsorBlock options tab.<br />
<br />
==Can I edit/remove the segment that I uploaded?==<br />
Once your segment is uploaded, you can still easily remove it or change its category by clicking thumbs down on the skip notice and choosing &quot;Incorrect/Wrong Timing&quot; or &quot;Wrong Category&quot; respectively. In case of your own submissions, your votes will have an immediate effect.<br />
<br />
Editing timestamps of submitted segments is not possible, so in order to correct a segment downvote it and submit a new one.<br />
==I think my segment might have been deleted. Why?==<br />
One possibility is that other users downvoted it. If it was removed by a moderator however, possible reasons include:<br />
*Some other submission in that place was a bit better (even if it’s just a fraction of a second, it does make a difference)<br />
*It was against the [[Guidelines]]<br />
*Any mistake mentioned in [[FAQ#What_are_the_most_frequent_mistakes_when_submitting_segments.3F | answer #1]]<br />
<br />
==How does voting work and what do certain amounts of votes mean?==<br />
Overlapping segments of the same category don't get shown all at once, but instead compete with each other, appearing to users one at a time. The amount of votes determines how likely your submission is to be shown over the other ones. You can read more about the algorithm and grouping similar segments [https://blog.ajay.app/voting-and-pseudo-randomness-or-sponsorblock-or-youtube-sponsorship-segment-blocker here].<br />
<br />
When a submission reaches the score of -2 or lower, it gets removed and will not appear anymore for users, but can still be found in the database. It also takes two votes to change the category of someone else's segment.<br />
<br />
If a segment's has a padlock next to it, it means it has been locked and will be prioritized over any other segment. [[VIP | VIPs']] segments are always locked, due to them being trusted.<br />
<br />
==Are there any moderators?==<br />
People with the [[VIP]] permission can moderate submissions. You can recognise them in Discord by their [[VIP]] tag. Learn more [[VIP | here]].<br />
<br />
==Can I use SponsorBlock on platforms other than PC?==<br />
Yes. Aside from the web browser extension, there are various third-party ports, including mobile. See the list [https://github.com/ajayyy/SponsorBlock/wiki/3rd-Party-Ports here].<br />
<br />
==How can I transfer my Vanced userID to the desktop extension?==<br />
Warning: You can only keep one userID, so decide if you want to keep the your extension userID or your Vanced userID. Keep a backup of your private userID in a secure location. If you want to transfer your extension user to Vanced, you will have to reverse the process.<br />
<br />
To transfer your userID from Vanced to the extension:<br />
*In Vanced click on your user icon -&gt; settings -&gt; SponsorBlock settings -&gt; &quot;your unique userID&quot;<br />
*Copy this string and save it somewhere<br />
*In your browser, click on the SponsorBlock icon in your toolbar and click on options<br />
*Scroll down to &quot;Import/Export your UserID&quot;<br />
*Back up the current userID and save it somewhere safe in case you want to switch back to it<br />
*Paste your userID there and confirm the changes<br />
*Your userID is now transferred. The popup will show stats based on what you have submitted from Vanced.<br />
<br />
Some data cannot be transfered, like segments you've skipped and time you saved others, because it is only saved anonymized.<br />
<br />
== What is the mute option when submitting? ==<br />
Normally a segment would just skip to the end. The [[Mute_Segment | mute segment]] will mute the video and play the segment. Once you have reached the end of the segment, the video will be unmuted.<br />
<br />
==Can I create skip segments just for myself?==<br />
Yes. If you wish to have skip segments for your personal use, not caring about the rules, just select the timestamps and close the editing box. Make sure not to click &quot;submit&quot;. They will be stored locally in your browser and skipped automatically. You can also export them with your options.<br />
<br />
==How about adding the “off-topic” category to get straight to the video’s topic?==<br />
The problem with such a category is that it would be highly subjective. Sure, it would come in handy on tutorial videos, but once it's there, people will use it everywhere. As an alternative, the [[Highlight|Highlight category]] can be used. It pops up at the beginning of the video and allows you to jump to the most important part of the video. There are also plans to allow [https://github.com/ajayyy/SponsorBlock/issues/409 community chapters] at some unkonw point in time.<br />
<br />
== What is considered content?==<br />
Content is any part of the video which someone could find valuable to watch. Finding something a waste of time personally does not mean that someone else wants to skip it.<br />
==Is there any AI involved?==<br />
[https://github.com/andrewzlee/NeuralBlock NeuralBlock] is a neural network that detects in-video YouTube sponsorships, though current implementation within SponsorBlock is limited to a moderation tool which detects incorrect sponsor segments on English videos. Every SponsorBlock segment you see on YouTube has been made by a human (as far as we know).</div>Deedithttps://wiki.sponsor.ajay.app/index.php?title=Advice_for_submitting&diff=578Advice for submitting2021-10-02T14:34:50Z<p>Deedit: /* Overlap adjacent segments */</p>
<hr />
<div>This page compiles some tips on how to make your submissions better.<br />
<br />
=== User interface ===<br />
If you don't know what all the buttons do, you can find explanations [[Creating_Segments | in this article]].<br />
<br />
=== Activate all categories ===<br />
A segment might have already been submitted as another category. Seeing this, is a reminder to make sure, you did indeed choose the correct category.<br />
<br />
=== Clean cuts ===<br />
When there is a visible transition and a small margin of error, don’t try to get it right with play/pause. Use the "," and "." keys and move frame by frame. Pay attention if the video is 30 or 60 fps. Only if possible, make your segments start two frames early on 30 fps videos and four frames early on 60 fps videos, so there isn't an annoying bump. Also pressing "k" will pause the video if "space" does something else on the website.<br />
<br />
=== Essentials only ===<br />
To make sure the start of your segment starts as late as possible, use "Inspect" to see if you included things that do not need to be included. Ending a segment should be done on the first frame of what should come after. Use "Preview" to make sure you do not cut anything off. This is especially important for "non-music"-segments.<br />
<br />
=== Music Videos ===<br />
Boost your audio with a browser extension to cut fadeouts. The video can only be cut at the videos framerate, but music can be cut even more precisely, i.e. it has a higher "framerate" than the video. Set the video speed to 25 % and adjust the times that appear after pressing "Edit" in the popup, to achieve more precise cuts.<br />
<br />
=== Overlap adjacent segments ===<br />
Segments of different categories that are right next to each other should slightly overlap. The reason for this is that every segment should be correct and seamless on its own and make sense from a perspective of a user with only one category enabled. Segments that have the same end and start time still skip fine though, but one of the two segments might not be perfect this way.<br />
<br />
=== Submissions on videos that are edited ===<br />
If you submit a long intermission segment on a live-streamed video, take a look at it after some time. Very often large chunks of such videos are removed afterwards with YouTube trimming tool by the streamer, which messes up the submissions and makes it necessary to delete them.<br />
Segments are automatically deleted after the length of a video changes. This is triggered, when a new submission is made on the video. If you notice a video where this was the case, create a segment and delete it to trigger this process.<br />
<br />
=== Use transcript to find sponsors ===<br />
[[File:Transkript.png|thumb|right|This shows where to open a YouTube video's transcript]]<br />
If you are looking for a sponsor, look for it in the description. After that open the Transkript and press Ctrl + F and search for the sponsor. You can find the transcipt under the 3-dot menu depicted on the right. This also works for other keywords like "subscribe", "bell" or "like".<br />
<br />
=== Don't submit each segment individually ===<br />
It can help if you are creating multiple segments, to submit all segments at once after you have figured out all of the timings.<br />
<br />
=== Working around wrong segments ===<br />
If you come over a wrong segment and want to submit your own, you can either downvote it via the "i" Symbol in the video player, or via the popup that appears after skipping the segment. Only downvoting it via the popup will remove the segment from the search bar which makes it easier for you to submit your own.<br />
<br />
=== Technical Limitations ===<br />
Firefox skips later than the actual start time of a segment, that is why it is advised to start the segment a few frames earlier. Vanced always skips later than the actual start time of a segment for battery saving reasons.</div>Deedithttps://wiki.sponsor.ajay.app/index.php?title=FAQ&diff=577FAQ2021-10-02T14:28:31Z<p>Deedit: /* What are the most frequent mistakes when submitting segments? */</p>

*Your userID is now transferred. The popup will show stats based on what you have submitted from Vanced.<br />
<br />
Some data cannot be transfered, like segments you've skipped and time you saved others, because it is only saved anonymized.<br />
<br />
== What is the mute option when submitting? ==<br />
Normally a segment would just skip to the end. The [[Mute_Segment | mute segment]] will mute the video and play the segment. Once you have reached the end of the segment, the video will be unmuted.<br />
<br />
==Can I create skip segments just for myself?==<br />
Yes. If you wish to have skip segments for your personal use, not caring about the rules, just select the timestamps and close the editing box. Make sure not to click &quot;submit&quot;. They will be stored locally in your browser and skipped automatically. You can also export them with your options.<br />
<br />
==How about adding the “off-topic” category to get straight to the video’s topic?==<br />
The problem with such a category is that it would be highly subjective. Sure, it would come in handy on tutorial videos, but once it's there, people will use it everywhere. As an alternative, the [[Highlight|Highlight category]] can be used. It pops up at the beginning of the video and allows you to jump to the most important part of the video.<br />
<br />
== What is considered content?==<br />
Content is any part of the video which someone could find valuable to watch. Finding something a waste of time personally does not mean that someone else wants to skip it.<br />
==Is there any AI involved?==<br />
[https://github.com/andrewzlee/NeuralBlock NeuralBlock] is a neural network that detects in-video YouTube sponsorships, though current implementation within SponsorBlock is limited to a moderation tool which detects incorrect sponsor segments on English videos.

<hr />
<div>==What are the most frequent mistakes when submitting segments?==<br />
*Not including the segue (smooth verbal transition to the [[Sponsor | sponsor]])<br />
*Submitting [[Sponsor | sponsor]] segments on videos that are either solely about the sponsor '''or''' could show bias towards it (e.g. when using the sponsored product is an essential part of the video's content and the creator voices their opinion, viewers need to be aware of the sponsor disclosure)<br />
*Mistaking [[Unpaid/Self_Promotion | self promotion]] for a sponsorship<br />
*Segments at the very beginning not starting precisely at 0:00, but rather something like 0.0314159 seconds into the video. Similarly, segments not sticking to the exact end of the video when they should.<br />
*Misunderstanding of the [[Intermission/Intro_Animation | intermission]] category. More often than not, if should not contain any spoken words, and it's not meant for just about anything that users find insignificant, like the creator saying &quot;hello.&quot;<br />
<br />
==I noticed an incorrect submission. What should I do?==<br />
The first thing you can do is simply downvote it in the pop-up. If it's just the wrong category but correctly timed, you can select &quot;Wrong Category&quot;. Additionally, when the timing of an existing segment could be better, submitting your own correct segment in its place may reduce the amount of times the faulty one appears.<br />
<br />
If you're on SponsorBlock [https://discord.gg/QnmVMpU Discord server], feel free to report it in the #incorrect-submissions channel, where a [[VIP]] can take a look at it. Even if the video is not in English, you can still give it a shot. Especially if you believe it’s a purposefully malicious spam, we would really like to be notified.<br />
<br />
==Why am I getting an error when trying to submit a segment?==<br />
400: Bad Request (Your inputs are wrong/impossible)<br />
*Your segment is maybe 0 seconds long<br />
*There is a minimum length for Sponsor segments<br />
403: Rejected by auto moderator:<br />
*A human moderator has locked the category or the complete video, all the segments that are needed are there and timed perfectly. If there isn't already a segment where you want to add one, try reloading the video. Make sure that you have activated all categories, as the segment you want to add is maybe in the wrong category. The video is locked to prevent spamming of bad segments that need to be removed later.<br />
409: Duplicate: You already submitted this segment, delete the one you can still add and all should be good<br />
<br />
==How is “non-music” supposed to co-exist with other categories?==<br />
[[Music:_Non-Music_Section | Non-music]] exists separately from other categories and may overlap with them. In the end, the video should resemble the Spotify or any other mix version as close as possible.<br />
<br />
==What are advanced tips for submitting?==<br />
You can find many tips in [[Advice_for_submitting | this article]].<br />
<!--<br />
These are some steps to take if you’re willing to spend a little bit more time to ensure perfect submissions:<br />
*First of all, activate all categories. This ensures that you don't accidentally submit a segment that already exists in an other category.<br />
*When there is a visible transition and a small margin of error, don’t try to get it right with play/pause. Use the &quot;,&quot; and &quot;.&quot; keys and move frame by frame. Pay attention if the video is 30 or 60 fps. If possible, make your segments start two frames early on 30 fps videos and four frames early on 60 fps videos, so there isn't an annoying bump.<br />
*Segments of different categories that are right next to each other should ''slightly'' overlap. The reason for this is that every segment should be correct and seamless on its own and make sense from a perspective of a user with only one category enabled.<br />
*If you submit a long intermission segment on a live-streamed video, take a look at it after some time. Very often large chunks of such videos are removed afterwards with YouTube trimming tool by the streamer, which messes up the submissions and makes it necessary to delete them.<br />
*When adjusting a non-music segment in the editing box, changing the playback speed to 0.25 allows for much greater precision, letting you place your segment as close to the music as possible without accidentally cutting any of it.<br />
*If the video has subtitles, even auto-generated ones, you can open the transcript and search for keywords. If the creator introduces a sponsor at the beginning of a long video, you could for example search their name or other keywords like &quot;sponsor&quot;, &quot;subscribe&quot;, etc to check if they're briefly mentioned later.<br />
--><br />
<br />
==How to browse the database and view all my submissions with details?==<br />
*You can view the database and all submissions on this website: https://sb.ltn.fi/ (this should update every 5 minutes)<br />
*You can download the entire database [https://sponsor.ajay.app/database here].<br />
Note: Your public userID in the database is different than your private one in the SponsorBlock options tab.<br />
<br />
==Can I edit/remove the segment that I uploaded?==<br />
Once your segment is uploaded, you can still easily remove it or change its category by clicking thumbs down on the skip notice and choosing &quot;Incorrect/Wrong Timing&quot; or &quot;Wrong Category&quot; respectively. In case of your own submissions, your votes will have an immediate effect.<br />
<br />
Editing timestamps of submitted segments is not possible, so in order to correct a segment downvote it and submit a new one.<br />
==I think my segment might have been deleted. Why?==<br />
One possibility is that other users downvoted it. If it was removed by a moderator however, possible reasons include:<br />
*Some other submission in that place was a bit better (even if it’s just a fraction of a second, it does make a difference)<br />
*It was against the [[Guidelines]]<br />
*Any mistake mentioned in [[FAQ#What_are_the_most_frequent_mistakes_when_submitting_segments.3F | answer #1]]<br />
<br />
==How does voting work and what do certain amounts of votes mean?==<br />
Overlapping segments of the same category don't get shown all at once, but instead compete with each other, appearing to users one at a time. The amount of votes determines how likely your submission is to be shown over the other ones. You can read more about the algorithm and grouping similar segments [https://blog.ajay.app/voting-and-pseudo-randomness-or-sponsorblock-or-youtube-sponsorship-segment-blocker here].<br />
<br />
When a submission reaches the score of -2 or lower, it gets removed and will not appear anymore for users, but can still be found in the database. It also takes two votes to change the category of someone else's segment.<br />
<br />
If a segment's has a padlock next to it, it means it has been locked and will be prioritized over any other segment. [[VIP | VIPs']] segments are always locked, due to them being trusted.<br />
<br />
==Are there any moderators?==<br />
People with the [[VIP]] permission can moderate submissions. You can recognise them in Discord by their [[VIP]] tag. Learn more [[VIP | here]].<br />
<br />
==Can I use SponsorBlock on platforms other than PC?==<br />
Yes. Aside from the web browser extension, there are various third-party ports, including mobile. See the list [https://github.com/ajayyy/SponsorBlock/wiki/3rd-Party-Ports here].<br />
<br />
==How can I transfer my Vanced userID to the desktop extension?==<br />
Warning: You can only keep one userID, so decide if you want to keep the your extension userID or your Vanced userID. Keep a backup of your private userID in a secure location. If you want to transfer your extension user to Vanced, you will have to reverse the process.<br />
<br />
To transfer your userID from Vanced to the extension:<br />
*In Vanced click on your user icon -&gt; settings -&gt; SponsorBlock settings -&gt; &quot;your unique userID&quot;<br />
*Copy this string and save it somewhere<br />
*In your browser, click on the SponsorBlock icon in your toolbar and click on options<br />
*Scroll down to &quot;Import/Export your UserID&quot;<br />
*Back up the current userID and save it somewhere safe in case you want to switch back to it<br />
*Paste your userID there and confirm the changes<br />
*Your userID is now transferred. The popup will show stats based on what you have submitted from Vanced.<br />

<div>__FORCETOC__<br />
<br />
This article covers tools and work sequences for [[VIP|VIPs]]. VIPs can help moderate videos and investigate potential abuse if they have the time for it, but there are no expectations for the amount of work or commitment.<br />
<br />
== Tools and Terminology ==<br />
*[https://sb.ltn.fi/ SponsorBlock Browser] by Lartza. Short: SBB<br />
**[https://gist.github.com/MRuy/ca74d6a359c487d760f4a698e76fb0d6 Userscripts] by Nanobyte. They make SBB prettier and easier to read, aswell as utility.<br />
**[https://gist.github.com/TheJzoli/8a4cd979d433b7359cdf61c238bc0181 Userscripts] by TheJzoli. Small user experience improvements for SBB.<br />

**Explanations of all features at the top of the respective sites. You will need a userscript manager like [https://www.tampermonkey.net/ Tampermonkey]. Press raw on the right of the filename and then install.<br />
*[https://mruy.github.io/sponsorBlockControl/ SponsorBlockControl] by Nanobyte. Short: SBC<br />
*[https://github.com/mchangrh/sb-slash sb-slash] by mchangrh.<br />
*For opening the SBB page of a video while on its page add this as a bookmarklet: <code><nowiki>javascript:(function(){window.open('https://sb.ltn.fi/video/' + new URL(document.URL).searchParams.get("v") + '/')})()</nowiki></code><br />
*👍 is commonly used to show support for a message, supporting a ban or another action taken while ✅ is used to show confirmation, that a video in #incorrect-submissions has been handled or a user's ban has gone through. Alt + left click will add an emoji to your favorites.<br />
<br />
== Moderating Users ==<br />
<br />
=== Warnings ===<br />
<br />
==== What constitutes a warning and when to lift it? ====<br />
Warnings should be issued to users who misinterpret the rules and can be set straight by simply telling them to review the rules and [[Guidelines|guidelines]], e.g. users who often mislabel the category can just use the flowchart.<br />
<br />
The point of a warning is to get the user into matrix or discord so that we can talk to them, make sure they go over the guidelines and hopefully learn from their mistake.<br />
<br />
Once they have confirmed they have read the guidelines, checked out their previous mistakes and if applicable, read the [[Segment Categories|corresponding articles]], the warning may be lifted. A possible prompt for this can be<blockquote><nowiki>Please read the guidelines and confirm if you understand the mistakes, or ask any questions if you have any.</nowiki></blockquote><br />
<br />
==== How to issue a warning? ====<br />
In #report-a-user post a message with the warning reasons and link their profile on SBB. The message should look like this:<br />
Warning for <nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/userid/7a7e6f513cd2a7a9abfd5c3dec7c8e2ea0e5e26f2683a83342ebad0f68d7754e/</nowiki><br />
<br />
Reasons:<br />
<br />
Intro covering content:<br />
<nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/video/kTZrV4M5Tcs/</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/video/BoQU3_4o90s/</nowiki><br />
<br />
Sponsor doesn't include segue:<br />
<nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/video/NxYPNNftnNQ/</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/video/Fci_ALdEzGc/</nowiki> <br />
<br />
Other unrelated tips...<br />
<!-- Pasting warning reason is their twice, because it is important. --><br />
The warning reason is everything '''after''' "Reasons". On SBC paste the userID and the warning reason. Please paste the warning reasons! If you want to give tips to the user, do it now, as they will see this message. If the user has many wrong segments, but you still feel like a warning is appropriate, consider removing all old segments by banning and unbanning them.<br />
<br />
==== What does the user experience? ====<br />
When the user is submitting or voting on a segment, a chat window of #questions will open and automatically post a message with their warning reason. They cannot navigate to any other channels, so don't link to discord message or other channels. Their username will be set to their userID and they will see an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alert_dialog_box alertbox] with the following text: <br />
<nowiki>Submission rejected due to a warning from a moderator. This means that we noticed you were making some common mistakes that are not malicious, and we just want to clarify the rules. Could you please send a message in discord.gg/SponsorBlock or matrix.to/#/#sponsor:ajay.app so we can further help you? Your userID is ${userID}.<br />
<br />
<br />
Warning reason: ${reason}</nowiki><br />
<br />
=== Bans ===<br />
Bans of users with many submissions need approval of one other VIP. Don't hold back on banning users, when they submit bad segments. They should be mature enough, that their bad segments show up for everyone to see.<br />
<br />
==== What constitutes a ban? ====<br />
*A ban should be issued to users who break the rules in a way, that them explaining to them would not fix<br />
*Their submissions show disregard of the guidelines, in such a way that good faith cannot be assumed anymore.<br />
**Censoring people or stuff shown for pretty much all reasons<br />
*Submissions were created to lessen the viewer experience.<br />
*It shows, that the user never bothered reading the category descriptions.<br />
<br />
==== How to issue a ban? ====<br />
In #bans post a message with the ban reasons and link their profile on SBB. #bans is a private channel. The message should look like this: <br />
(Recommending) ban for <nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/userid/7a7e6f513cd2a7a9abfd5c3dec7c8e2ea0e5e26f2683a83342ebad0f68d7754e/</nowiki><br />
<br />
Reasons:<br />
<br />
Intro covering content:<br />
<nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/video/kTZrV4M5Tcs/</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/video/BoQU3_4o90s/</nowiki><br />
<br />
Sponsor doesn't include segue:<br />
<nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/video/NxYPNNftnNQ/</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/video/Fci_ALdEzGc/</nowiki> <br />
Wait for another VIP's support with 👍. After receiving approval, head to SBC and ban the user. You may choose to hide categories. Confirm your ban with ✅.<br />
<br />
==== What does the user experience? ====<br />
The user will not notice they have been banned, as we issue only shadowbans. As long as the user still uses the same IP address, they will continue seeing their segments, but no one else will. Their views will stay at zero, so their time saved and related stats will stop changing.<br />
<br />
==== How can I recognize a banned user on SBB? ====<br />
Banned users will have an ❌ in the shadow hidden column of their segments on SBB.<br />
<br />
== Moderating Videos ==<br />
<br />
=== Knowledge of Categories ===<br />
Read [[Segment Categories|these articles]] and the [[Guidelines|guidelines]] and feel free to ask in the discord after checking the wiki.<br />
<br />
=== Manipulating Segments ===<br />
Voting and category changing can be done with SBC or with Deedit's userscript or on YouTube.<br />
*Upvoting a segment will lock it. This means that it will always be shown and immune to downvotes, even from the submitter.<br />
*Downvoting a segment will immediately remove it, no matter whose it is.<br />
*Undoing a vote on will revert the segment's votes to what they were before your downvote or upvote. It will also remove other VIP's locks.<br />
*If a segment is in a wrong category, you can change it directly on YouTube, or on SBC.<br />
<br />
=== Locking Categories ===<br />
<br />
* Review the entire video and make sure that all displayed segments are correct.<br />
* Make sure to include a reason why segments should not be there if applicable.<br />
* You can lock videos if you are concerned that segments will be spammed, before or after working on a video.<br />
** It is explicitly allowed to lock popular videos at release to prevent spam.<br />
* The most recent lock reason will be displayed.<br />
<br />
When users try to submit a category that is locked, they will receive the following message:<br />
New submissions are not allowed for the following category: {category}. A moderator has decided that no new segments are needed on this video and that all current segments of this category are timed perfectly.<br />
<br />
Lock reason: {reason}<br />
<br />
If you believe this is incorrect, please contact someone on discord.gg/SponsorBlock or matrix.to/#/#sponsor:ajay.app<br />
If the locked category is sponsor, the previous prompt will be expanded by this:<br />
Maybe the segment you are submitting is a different category that you have not enabled and is not a sponsor. Categories that aren't sponsor, such as self-promotion can be enabled in the options.<br />
<br />
=== Submitting Segments ===<br />
Your segments should be perfectly accurate and follow the rules. This is because normal users cannot remove your segments and VIPs don't want to remove other VIPs' segments. If you are unsure, feel free to ask.<br />
<br />
=== Abuse ===<br />
Don't go around downvoting established segments. Odds are, you probably misunderstood the rules and could lose your VIP status if you are incorrigible.<br />
<br />
== Searching Segments ==<br />
When searching for segments en masse, SBB is recommended but has an update delay of 5 minutes.<br />
<br />
Alternatively sb-slash can be used to search for segments on videos<br />
<br />
* /searchsegements - get all segments on video, regardless of votes or hidden status<br />
* /skipsegments - get segments displayed on video<br />
* /segmentinfo - look up information from the segment UUID including user agent</div>Deedithttps://wiki.sponsor.ajay.app/index.php?title=FAQ&diff=562FAQ2021-09-26T12:28:10Z<p>Deedit: /* How can I transfer my Vanced userID to the desktop extension? */</p>
<hr />
<div>==What are the most frequent mistakes when submitting segments?==<br />
*Not including the segue (smooth verbal transition to the [[Sponsor | sponsor]])<br />
*Submitting [[Sponsor | sponsor]] segments on videos that are either solely about the sponsor '''or''' could show bias towards it (e.g. when using the sponsored product is an essential part of the video's content and the creator voices their opinion, viewers need to be aware of the sponsor disclosure)<br />
*Mistaking [[Unpaid/Self_Promotion | self promotion]] for a sponsorship<br />
*Segments at the very beginning not starting precisely at 0:00, but rather something like 0.0314159 seconds into the video. Similarly, segments not sticking to the exact end of the video when they should.<br />
*Misunderstanding of the [[Intermission/Intro_Animation | intermission]] category. More often than not, if should not contain any spoken words, and it's not meant for just about anything that users find insignificant, like the creator saying &quot;hello.&quot;<br />
<br />
==I noticed an incorrect submission. What should I do?==<br />
The first thing you can do is simply downvote it in the pop-up. If it's just the wrong category but correctly timed, you can select &quot;Wrong Category&quot;. Additionally, when the timing of an existing segment could be better, submitting your own correct segment in its place may reduce the amount of times the faulty one appears.<br />
<br />
If you're on SponsorBlock [https://discord.gg/QnmVMpU Discord server], feel free to report it in the #incorrect-submissions channel, where a [[VIP]] can take a look at it. Even if the video is not in English, you can still give it a shot. Especially if you believe it’s a purposefully malicious spam, we would really like to be notified.<br />
<br />
==Why am I getting an error when trying to submit a segment?==<br />
400: Bad Request (Your inputs are wrong/impossible)<br />
*Your segment is maybe 0 seconds long<br />
*There is a minimum length for Sponsor segments<br />
403: Rejected by auto moderator:<br />
*A human moderator has locked the category or the complete video, all the segments that are needed are there and timed perfectly. If there isn't already a segment where you want to add one, try reloading the video. Make sure that you have activated all categories, as the segment you want to add is maybe in the wrong category. The video is locked to prevent spamming of bad segments that need to be removed later.<br />
409: Duplicate: You already submitted this segment, delete the one you can still add and all should be good<br />
<br />
==How exactly is “non-music” supposed to co-exist with other categories?==<br />
[[Music:_Non-Music_Section | Non-music]] exists separately from other categories and may overlap with them. In the end, the video should resemble the Spotify or any other mix version as close as possible.<br />
<br />
==What are some more advanced tips for submitting?==<br />
You can find many tips in [[Advice_for_submitting | this article]].<br />
<!--<br />
These are some steps to take if you’re willing to spend a little bit more time to ensure perfect submissions:<br />
*First of all, activate all categories. This ensures that you don't accidentally submit a segment that already exists in an other category.<br />
*When there is a visible transition and a small margin of error, don’t try to get it right with play/pause. Use the &quot;,&quot; and &quot;.&quot; keys and move frame by frame. Pay attention if the video is 30 or 60 fps. If possible, make your segments start two frames early on 30 fps videos and four frames early on 60 fps videos, so there isn't an annoying bump.<br />
*Segments of different categories that are right next to each other should ''slightly'' overlap. The reason for this is that every segment should be correct and seamless on its own and make sense from a perspective of a user with only one category enabled.<br />
*If you submit a long intermission segment on a live-streamed video, take a look at it after some time. Very often large chunks of such videos are removed afterwards with YouTube trimming tool by the streamer, which messes up the submissions and makes it necessary to delete them.<br />
*When adjusting a non-music segment in the editing box, changing the playback speed to 0.25 allows for much greater precision, letting you place your segment as close to the music as possible without accidentally cutting any of it.<br />
*If the video has subtitles, even auto-generated ones, you can open the transcript and search for keywords. If the creator introduces a sponsor at the beginning of a long video, you could for example search their name or other keywords like &quot;sponsor&quot;, &quot;subscribe&quot;, etc to check if they're briefly mentioned later.<br />
--><br />
<br />
==How to browse the database and view all my submissions with details?==<br />
*You can view the database and all submissions on this website: https://sb.ltn.fi/ (this should update every 5 minutes)<br />
*You can download the entire database [https://sponsor.ajay.app/database here].<br />
Note: Your public userID in the database is different than your private one in the SponsorBlock options tab.<br />
<br />
==Can I edit/remove the segment that I uploaded?==<br />
Once your segment is uploaded, you can still easily remove it or change its category by clicking thumbs down on the skip notice and choosing &quot;Incorrect/Wrong Timing&quot; or &quot;Wrong Category&quot; respectively. In case of your own submissions, your votes will have an immediate effect.<br />
<br />
Editing timestamps of submitted segments is not possible, so in order to correct a segment downvote it and submit a new one.<br />
==I think my segment might have been deleted. Why?==<br />
One possibility is that other users downvoted it. If it was removed by a moderator however, possible reasons include:<br />
*Some other submission in that place was a bit better (even if it’s just a fraction of a second, it does make a difference)<br />
*It was against the [[Guidelines]]<br />
*Any mistake mentioned in [[FAQ#What_are_the_most_frequent_mistakes_when_submitting_segments.3F | answer #1]]<br />
<br />
==How does voting work and what do certain amounts of votes mean?==<br />
Overlapping segments of the same category don't get shown all at once, but instead compete with each other, appearing to users one at a time. The amount of votes determines how likely your submission is to be shown over the other ones. You can read more about the algorithm and grouping similar segments [https://blog.ajay.app/voting-and-pseudo-randomness-or-sponsorblock-or-youtube-sponsorship-segment-blocker here].<br />
<br />
When a submission reaches the score of -2 or lower, it gets removed and will not appear anymore for users, but can still be found in the database. It also takes two votes to change the category of someone else's segment.<br />
<br />
If a segment's has a padlock next to it, it means it has been locked and will be prioritized over any other segment. [[VIP | VIPs']] segments are always locked, due to them being trusted.<br />
<br />
==Are there any moderators?==<br />
People with the [[VIP]] permission can moderate submissions. You can recognise them in Discord by their [[VIP]] tag. Learn more [[VIP | here]].<br />
<br />
==Can I use SponsorBlock on platforms other than PC?==<br />
Yes. Aside from the web browser extension, there are various third-party ports, including mobile. See the list [https://github.com/ajayyy/SponsorBlock/wiki/3rd-Party-Ports here].<br />
<br />
==How can I transfer my Vanced userID to the desktop extension?==<br />
Warning: You can only keep one userID, so decide if you want to keep the your extension userID or your Vanced userID. Keep a backup of your private userID in a secure location. If you want to transfer your extension user to Vanced, you will have to reverse the process.<br />
<br />
To transfer your userID from Vanced to the extension:<br />
*In Vanced click on your user icon -&gt; settings -&gt; SponsorBlock settings -&gt; &quot;your unique userID&quot;<br />
*Copy this string and save it somewhere<br />
*In your browser, click on the SponsorBlock icon in your toolbar and click on options<br />
*Scroll down to &quot;Import/Export your UserID&quot;<br />
*Back up the current userID and save it somewhere safe in case you want to switch back to it<br />
*Paste your userID there and confirm the changes<br />
*Your userID is now transferred. The popup will show stats based on what you have submitted from Vanced.<br />
<br />
Some data cannot be transfered, like segments you've skipped and time you saved others, because it is only saved anonymized.<br />
<br />
== What is the mute option when submitting? ==<br />
Normally a segment would just skip to the end. The [[Mute_Segment | mute segment]] will mute the video and play the segment. Once you have reached the end of the segment, the video will be unmuted.<br />
<br />
==Can I create skip segments just for myself?==<br />
Yes. If you wish to have skip segments for your personal use, not caring about the rules, just select the timestamps and close the editing box. Make sure not to click &quot;submit&quot;. They will be stored locally in your browser and skipped automatically. You can also export them with your options.<br />
<br />
==How about adding the “off-topic” category to get straight to the video’s topic?==<br />
The problem with such a category is that it would be highly subjective. Sure, it would come in handy on tutorial videos, but once it's there, people will use it everywhere. As an alternative, the [[Highlight|Highlight category]] can be used. It pops up at the beginning of the video and allows you to jump to the most important part of the video.<br />
<br />
== What is considered content?==<br />
Content is any part of the video which someone could find valuable to watch. Finding something a waste of time personally does not mean that someone else wants to skip it.<br />
==Is there any AI involved?==<br />
[https://github.com/andrewzlee/NeuralBlock NeuralBlock] is a neural network that detects in-video YouTube sponsorships, though current implementation within SponsorBlock is limited to a moderation tool which detects incorrect sponsor segments on English videos. Every SponsorBlock segment you see on YouTube has been made by a human (as far as we know).<br />

<br />
=== Warnings ===<br />
<br />
==== What constitutes a warning and when to lift it? ====<br />
Warnings should be issued to users who misinterpret the rules and can be set straight by simply telling them to review the rules and [[Guidelines|guidelines]], e.g. users who often mislabel the category can just use the flowchart.<br />
<br />
The point of a warning is to get the user into matrix or discord so that we can talk to them, make sure they go over the guidelines and hopefully learn from their mistake.<br />
<br />
Once they have confirmed they have read the guidelines, checked out their previous mistakes and if applicable, read the [[Segment Categories|corresponding articles]], the warning may be lifted. A possible prompt for this can be<blockquote><nowiki>Please read the guidelines and confirm if you understand the mistakes, or ask any questions if you have any.</nowiki></blockquote><br />
<br />
==== How to issue a warning? ====<br />
In #report-a-user post a message with the warning reasons and link their profile on SBB. The message should look like this:<br />
Warning for <nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/userid/7a7e6f513cd2a7a9abfd5c3dec7c8e2ea0e5e26f2683a83342ebad0f68d7754e/</nowiki><br />

<br />
Other unrelated tips...<br />
On SBC paste the userID and the warning reason. The warning reason is everything '''after''' "Reasons". If you want to give tips to the user, do it now, as they will see this message. If the user has many wrong segments, but you still feel like a warning is appropriate, consider removing all old segments by banning and unbanning them.<br />
<br />
==== What does the user experience? ====<br />
When the user is submitting or voting on a segment, a chat window of #questions will open and automatically post a message with their warning reason. They cannot navigate to any other channels, so don't link to discord message or other channels. Their username will be set to their userID and they will see an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alert_dialog_box alertbox] with the following text: <br />
<nowiki>Submission rejected due to a warning from a moderator. This means that we noticed you were making some common mistakes that are not malicious, and we just want to clarify the rules. Could you please send a message in discord.gg/SponsorBlock or matrix.to/#/#sponsor:ajay.app so we can further help you? Your userID is ${userID}.<br />
<br />
<br />
Warning reason: ${reason}</nowiki><br />
<br />
=== Bans ===<br />
Bans of users with many submissions need approval of one other VIP. Don't hold back on banning users, when they submit bad segments. They should be mature enough, that their bad segments show up for everyone to see.<br />
<br />
==== What constitutes a ban? ====<br />
*A ban should be issued to users who break the rules in a way, that them explaining to them would not fix<br />
*Their submissions show disregard of the guidelines, in such a way that good faith cannot be assumed anymore.<br />
**Censoring people or stuff shown for pretty much all reasons<br />
*Submissions were created to lessen the viewer experience.<br />
*It shows, that the user never bothered reading the category descriptions.<br />
<br />
==== How to issue a ban? ====<br />
In #bans post a message with the ban reasons and link their profile on SBB. #bans is a private channel. The message should look like this: <br />
(Recommending) ban for <nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/userid/7a7e6f513cd2a7a9abfd5c3dec7c8e2ea0e5e26f2683a83342ebad0f68d7754e/</nowiki><br />

Wait for another VIP's support with 👍. After receiving approval, head to SBC and ban the user. You may choose to hide categories. Confirm your ban with ✅.<br />
<br />
==== What does the user experience? ====<br />
The user will not notice they have been banned, as we issue only shadowbans. As long as the user still uses the same IP address, they will continue seeing their segments, but no one else will. Their views will stay at zero, so their time saved and related stats will stop changing.<br />
<br />
==== How can I recognize a banned user on SBB? ====<br />
Banned users will have an ❌ in the shadow hidden column of their segments on SBB.<br />
<br />
== Moderating Videos ==<br />
<br />
=== Knowledge of Categories ===<br />
Read [[Segment Categories|these articles]] and the [[Guidelines|guidelines]] and feel free to ask in the discord after checking the wiki.<br />
<br />
=== Manipulating Segments ===<br />
Voting and category changing can be done with SBC or with Deedit's userscript or on YouTube.<br />
*Upvoting a segment will lock it. This means that it will always be shown and immune to downvotes, even from the submitter.<br />
*Downvoting a segment will immediately remove it, no matter whose it is.<br />
*Undoing a vote on will revert the segment's votes to what they were before your downvote or upvote. It will also remove other VIP's locks.<br />
*If a segment is in a wrong category, you can change it directly on YouTube, or on SBC.<br />
<br />
=== Locking Categories ===<br />
<br />
* Review the entire video and make sure that all displayed segments are correct.<br />
* Make sure to include a reason why segments should not be there if applicable.<br />
* You can lock videos if you are concerned that segments will be spammed, before or after working on a video.<br />
** It is explicitly allowed to lock popular videos at release to prevent spam.<br />
* The most recent lock reason will be displayed.<br />
<br />
When users try to submit a category that is locked, they will receive the following message:<br />
New submissions are not allowed for the following category: {category}. A moderator has decided that no new segments are needed on this video and that all current segments of this category are timed perfectly.<br />
<br />
Lock reason: {reason}<br />
<br />
If you believe this is incorrect, please contact someone on discord.gg/SponsorBlock or matrix.to/#/#sponsor:ajay.app<br />
If the locked category is sponsor, the previous prompt will be expanded by this:<br />
Maybe the segment you are submitting is a different category that you have not enabled and is not a sponsor. Categories that aren't sponsor, such as self-promotion can be enabled in the options.<br />
<br />
=== Submitting Segments ===<br />
Your segments should be perfectly accurate and follow the rules. This is because normal users cannot remove your segments and VIPs don't want to remove other VIPs' segments. If you are unsure, feel free to ask.<br />
<br />
=== Abuse ===<br />
Don't go around downvoting established segments. Odds are, you probably misunderstood the rules and could lose your VIP status if you are incorrigible.<br />
<br />
== Searching Segments ==<br />
When searching for segments en masse, SBB is recommended but has an update delay of 5 minutes.<br />
<br />
Alternatively sb-slash can be used to search for segments on videos<br />
<br />
* /searchsegements - get all segments on video, regardless of votes or hidden status<br />
* /skipsegments - get segments displayed on video<br />
* /segmentinfo - look up information from the segment UUID including user agent</div>Deedithttps://wiki.sponsor.ajay.app/index.php?title=VIP_Guide&diff=557VIP Guide2021-09-25T18:13:03Z<p>Deedit: /* Locking Categories */</p>

Wait for another VIP's support with 👍. After receiving approval, head to SBC and ban the user. You may choose to hide categories. Confirm your ban with ✅.<br />
<br />
==== What does the user experience? ====<br />
The user will not notice they have been banned, as we issue only shadowbans. As long as the user still uses the same IP address, they will continue seeing their segments, but no one else will. Their views will stay at zero, so their time saved and related stats will stop changing.<br />
<br />
==== How can I recognize a banned user on SBB? ====<br />
Banned users will have an ❌ in the shadow hidden column of their segments on SBB.<br />

== Moderating Videos ==<br />
<br />
=== Knowledge of Categories ===<br />
Read [[Segment Categories|these articles]] and the [[Guidelines|guidelines]] and feel free to ask in the discord after checking the wiki.<br />
<br />
=== Manipulating Segments ===<br />
*Upvoting a segment will lock it. This means that it will always be shown and immune to downvotes, even from the submitter.<br />
*Downvoting a segment will immediately remove it, no matter whose it is.<br />
*Undoing a vote on SBC will revert the segment's votes to what they were before your downvote or upvote. It will also revert other VIP's locks, or reinstate yours.<br />
*If a segment is in a wrong category, you can change it directly on YouTube, or on SBC.<br />
<br />
=== Locking Categories ===<br />
<br />
* Review the entire video and make sure that all displayed segments are correct.<br />
* Make sure to include a reason why segments should not be there if applicable.<br />
* You can lock videos if you are concerned that segments will be spammed, before or after working on a video.<br />
** It is explicitly allowed to log popular videos at release to prevent spam.<br />
* The most recent lock reason will be displayed.<br />
<br />
When users try to submit a category that is locked, they will receive the following message:<br />
New submissions are not allowed for the following category: {category}. A moderator has decided that no new segments are needed on this video and that all current segments of this category are timed perfectly.<br />
<br />
Lock reason: {reason}<br />
<br />
If you believe this is incorrect, please contact someone on discord.gg/SponsorBlock or matrix.to/#/#sponsor:ajay.app<br />
If the locked category is sponsor, the previous prompt will be expanded by this:<br />
Maybe the segment you are submitting is a different category that you have not enabled and is not a sponsor. Categories that aren't sponsor, such as self-promotion can be enabled in the options.<br />
<br />
=== Submitting Segments ===<br />
Your segments should be perfectly accurate and follow the rules. This is because normal users cannot remove your segments and VIPs don't want to remove other VIPs' segments. If you are unsure, feel free to ask.<br />
<br />
=== Abuse ===<br />
Don't go around downvoting established segments. Odds are, you probably misunderstood the rules and could lose your VIP status if you are incorrigible.<br />
<br />
== Searching Segments ==<br />
When searching for segments en masse, SBB is recommended but has an update delay of 5 minutes.<br />
<br />
Alternatively sb-slash can be used to search for segments on videos<br />
<br />
* /searchsegements - get all segments on video, regardless of votes or hidden status<br />
* /skipsegments - get segments displayed on video<br />
* /segmentinfo - look up information from the segment UUID including user agent</div>Deedithttps://wiki.sponsor.ajay.app/index.php?title=VIP_Guide&diff=555VIP Guide2021-09-25T17:55:43Z<p>Deedit: /* Manipulating Segments */</p>

*For opening the SBB page of a video while on its page add this as a bookmarklet: <code><nowiki>javascript:(function(){window.open('https://sb.ltn.fi/video/' + new URL(document.URL).searchParams.get("v") + '/')})()</nowiki></code><br />
*👍 is commonly used to show support for a message, supporting a ban or another action taken while ✅ is used to show confirmation, that a video in #incorrect-submissions has been handled or a user's ban has gone through. Alt + left click will add an emoji to your favorites.<br />

<br />
=== Warnings ===<br />
<br />
==== What constitutes a warning and when to lift it? ====<br />
Warnings should be issued to users who misinterpret the rules and can be set straight by simply telling them to review the rules and [[Guidelines|guidelines]], e.g. users who often mislabel the category can just use the flowchart.<br />
<br />
The point of a warning is to get the user into matrix or discord so that we can talk to them, make sure they go over the guidelines and hopefully learn from their mistake.<br />
<br />
Once they have confirmed they have read the guidelines, checked out their previous mistakes and if applicable, read the [[Segment Categories|corresponding articles]], the warning may be lifted. A possible prompt for this can be<blockquote><nowiki>Please read the guidelines and confirm if you understand the mistakes, or ask any questions if you have any.</nowiki></blockquote><br />
<br />
==== How to issue a warning? ====<br />
In #report-a-user post a message with the warning reasons and link their profile on SBB. The message should look like this:<br />
Warning for <nowiki>https://sb.ltn.fi/userid/7a7e6f513cd2a7a9abfd5c3dec7c8e2ea0e5e26f2683a83342ebad0f68d7754e/</nowiki><br />

<br />
Other unrelated tips...<br />
On SBC paste the userID and the warning reason. The warning reason is everything '''after''' "Reasons". If you want to give tips to the user, do it now, as they will see this message. If the user has many wrong segments, but you still feel like a warning is appropriate, consider removing all old segments by banning and unbanning them.<br />
<br />
==== What does the user experience? ====<br />
When the user is submitting or voting on a segment, a chat window of #questions will open and automatically post a message with their warning reason. They cannot navigate to any other channels, so don't link to discord message or other channels. Their username will be set to their userID and they will see an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alert_dialog_box alertbox] with the following text: <br />
<nowiki>Submission rejected due to a warning from a moderator. This means that we noticed you were making some common mistakes that are not malicious, and we just want to clarify the rules. Could you please send a message in discord.gg/SponsorBlock or matrix.to/#/#sponsor:ajay.app so we can further help you? Your userID is ${userID}.<br />
<br />
<br />
Warning reason: ${reason}</nowiki><br />
<br />
=== Bans ===<br />
Bans of users with many submissions need approval of one other VIP. Don't hold back on banning users, when they submit bad segments. They should be mature enough, that their bad segments show up for everyone to see.<br />
<br />
==== What constitutes a ban? ====<br />
*A ban should be issued to users who break the rules in a way, that them explaining to them would not fix<br />
*Their submissions show disregard of the guidelines, in such a way that good faith cannot be assumed anymore.<br />
**Censoring people or stuff shown for pretty much all reasons<br />
*Submissions were created to lessen the viewer experience.<br />
*It shows, that the user never bothered reading the category descriptions.<br />

<hr />
<div>__FORCETOC__<br />
<br />
=== Description ===<br />

* Reacting to messages<br />
* Jokes<br />
<br />
=== Exceptions/ Edge Cases ===<br />
# Asking viewers for factual information related to the video should not be marked. It is ok to submit segments that include calls to comment opinions.<br />
#* How can i improve the machine i am building vs. What should we call our new cat<br />
<br />
===== Not included=====<br />

** Like button animations.<br />
** Notification button animations.<br />
* Answering comments<br />
