Why a video is watchable but not listed
A delisted VideoBB video still plays by link and embed, but it is not shown in feeds, search or channel pages. It is not a strike.
A delisted video still plays for anyone with its link, but VideoBB does not list it anywhere. Moderators delist content that is allowed on the site but not eligible for listings, such as full-length films and broadcasts. Delisting is not a strike.
What delisting changes
| Place | Delisted video |
|---|---|
| Its own link | Plays as normal |
| Embeds on other sites | Play as normal |
| Comments | Kept |
| Earnings | Still earns |
| Feeds and category pages | Not shown |
| Search | Not shown |
| Your channel page | Not shown |
| Related videos and Up next | Not shown |
| Sitemaps | Left out |
In short, people who already have the link can still watch. New viewers will not find it by browsing or searching on VideoBB. If you shared it before, those links still work; see share links and start times.
Why a video gets delisted
The community guidelines say full-length films and broadcasts are not eligible for listing. They can stay on the site, but moderators take them out of feeds, search, channel pages and sitemaps. Repeated spam can also lead to a loss of listing.
How to tell a video is delisted
In your studio video list, a Delisted label appears next to the title.
Is it a strike?
No. Delisting does not add a strike, and the video keeps its comments and earnings. It is a listing decision, not a penalty for breaking a rule.
Unlisted and delisted are different
- Unlisted is your own choice, set in the video's visibility. You can change it back at any time.
- Delisted is a moderator's decision. Changing the visibility does not undo it.
If you think it is a mistake
Every moderation decision can be appealed within 30 days. Follow the steps in strikes, suspensions and appeals and include the link to the video.
