Removal of segments

Segments can be removed in different ways.

== Downvoting ==
When users downvotes other users' [[segment]]s and it achieves a net -2 score, it is not served to other users. Downvoting your own segment will set the segmet's score to -2 regardless of the current number of votes, meaning you can effectively always remove your own segments.

== Video duration ==
If a video's duration changes due to edits by the uploader (for example, channels can cut out parts of videos after uploading), all segments previously submitted on the video are shadow-hidden and automatically removed on any new submission or vote.

=== Live videos ===
During a livestream or premiere, the video duration is not stable. This state can even persist for a while after the livestream ends. To find out whether this is the case, open the “statistics for nerds” menu and look for “live manifestless” or “post-live manifestless”. As long as the video is manifestless, no segments should be submitted.

== Banned users ==
If a user is banned by a VIP, all segments submitted by that user will be hidden on every video. To ask to remove a disruptive user's segments, send a message on Discord or Matrix in the <code>#report-a-user</code> channel.

'''{{Category|Unpaid/Self Promotion}}''' 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. If this is an obvious brief reminder or information, it should be under {{Category|Interaction Reminder (Subscribe)}} instead.
__FORCETOC__
== Description ==
This includes:
* Merchandise
* Patreon, Channel Memberships, Twitch Subscriptions or any similar monetized platforms
** This includes scrolling lists of financial supporters (Patreon, GitHub Sponsors etc..)
* Videos or playlists
* Charities, products or websites they like
* Information about whom they collaborated with
* Shout-outs with no money exchanged
* Giveaways with no involvement of a 3rd party and the announcement of the winner
** No money exchanged
** Content YouTuber should have full control
** Products should be purchased by the YouTuber
* Asking for paid/free services from their subscribers (fanmail, video clips)
** [[Mute_Segment|Mute]] the segment if it would cover content.

== Exceptions / Edge Cases ==
The decision on whether it should be marked sponsor or unpaid promotion is influenced by several factors.

'''For example:'''
# Did they receive money as well as the product? If so, then it should be marked {{Category|Sponsor}}.
# Are they obviously linked with the product they are promoting? If so, then it should be marked {{Category|Unpaid/Self Promotion}}.
# Does the product they are promoting have their branding, similar to merch? If so, then it should be marked {{Category|Unpaid/Self Promotion}}.
If it is '''impossible''' to cleanly cut or overlap the segments, {{Category|Interaction Reminders}} can be included in {{Category|Unpaid/Self Promotion}}.
