... Am I allowed to ask what the, um, thing in your icon is? Because it looks like a big red sock with a butt on top. But I'm pretty sure it can't be.

if I make a public post, or a public announcement, it's fair game for reccing or linking or discussion or whatever.

To my astonishment - and in direct contradiction of all the information I could find when I started recommending vids - nearly everyone agrees with you on this. I think this may be the influence of LJ culture, here, which is probably affecting vidders much more now than it was even two years ago.

I do try to be clear about these things, because of the very concerns you're asking about.

And - trust me on this - recommenders love you for it. Or, okay, I do, anyway. I can't speak for all vid recommenders. We don't have a union or anything. (But if we did, clarity in terms of linking requirements would be very high on our wishlist, I think.)
