I myself don't like the reprints at all and never put links to them on my update here. However, I still believe those reprints are not guilty.

I myself will never become NND fans if those reprints did not exist on YT. And I can sure that most international fans share the same start with me. Even now, in our NND group on facebook, whenever u ask a newbie how he/she get into this fandom, the answer is only one: watched song A/ song B/... on YT. My first impression in my first few weeks here also the same: I often thought why this song/that song didn't have YT links? This thought changed after I decided to create a nnd acc and got used to nnd systems. It took times (i believe it was no less than 2 months for fully change, but still be a fast process.)

If nicovideo allows unregistered viewers, I will agree with the idea of forbiding reprints. If not, never. Just no link to nnd users who forbid reprints. The list of utaite who forbids reprints here includes not only the one who has those words on video descriptions but also utaites have blog/tweet/... anything talking about reprints. E.g. All Mafumafu's reprints were removed after he talked about them on a namahousou.

The fact is, most reprints here are from the past, current contributors rarely update the reprints. Reprints Guidelines are not really useless. I'm the one who read it, and i can sure other frequent contributors who often update reprints did the same. In half of a year i've been here, I checked most reprint updates and they passed the rule of leaving credits in tutorial page.

Of course, there still are some links with no credit, or may still have some utaites who forbid reprints but the links haven't removed yet, but all those reprints are from the past, and wikia/wikipedia itself is an open source, was built with no profit for contributors. U cannot force people to do something such as "have to remove reprints right after an utaite mentions about it".

For further thought, I believe the worry that utaites feel uncomfortable -things are just the over-reaction from fans. Just like English comments in namahousou, NND fandom on tumblr strictly judge this, but utaite themselves - u cannot sure about it. E.g. Soraru case few months ago - Eng comments in his housou made a tornado of arguments on tumblr, fans judged fans that English comments are rude, impolite... blah blah blah. Soraru himself just thought that how impressed the globalization was! He did not judge English comments from his fans so why did we have to do that? So, that will be the same with reprints things. If one utaite feels uncomfortable about reprints, he/she will talk about it (in video descrip, tweet, blog... blah blah blah). Reprints will be forbidden here as her/his wish. The rest, use reprints guidelines is fair enough.
