I guess no one payed any attention to the fact that Vidlii is not my site and I stated this several times. I am a friend and coworker of its owner (lolwut) and I do not make moderation descisions for the site. I do provide hosting (via KolymaNET) and thus the influence I do exert over Vidlii is via our Global TOS, which was updated in July to include banning animal abuse content,

I don't moderate Vidlii and I seldom even check the site (As it doesnt belong to me and I have other things to do). Any abuse videos on the site are against the ToS and should be reported so they can be removed. The videos must feature some clear form of abuse or the channel must contain at least one video which does for it to be removed. If the content remains for over 3 days after a report, the host is fined, but thus far, lolwut (and most other customers in a position similar to him) have complied without a fine.
>also monkey torture
videos aren't illegal
KolymaNET is based in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) with 2 secondary offices in Russia, there are no laws against hosting animal abuse videos in either country, nonetheless, I made it against the ToS out of personal conviction. So to whoever keeps emailing Vidlii's hosting provider (Me, I own KolymaNET and run the hosting company) you will get nowhere. I stepped in without any legal obligation after the issue was brought to my attention and now am somehow being thought of as the main curator of this content over the internet because 1 (one) site which does not belong to me misses a spot now and then.
As for the sites I do run personally (Soyjak.party, namely) BMT is banned because of the aforementioned ToS rule. The site only has a handful of moderators for its huge size so inevitably BMT (and worse content) stays up for a few hours before being deleted, but thats a seperate issue.
To answer someone above, no, I dont make money off it. Vidlii doesnt make anyone money. It has no ads or anything similar, its a passion project. If it did make money, I would not be the one recieving it anyway. They also do not "generate views" for vidlii, in fact we recieve many complaints about gross videos and encourage users to block them if they are not against the ToS, the average user of Vidlii isnt interested in such content. I personally have my own grievances with the freedom in which lolwut allows his users to upload content, but ultimately, it is his website.
"Vidlii" being in the title of this thread is also not a concern of mine, I reached out because I thought I had the ability to clear up a misunderstanding and also get lolwut to agree to limit the videos on his site. Whatever the outcome of my efforts was, trying to use it as a bargaining chip to extort me into deleting videos you don't like has made me sympathize with this threads cause significantly less.
