I assume by filter out linear cuts, that this does not apply to original creators. For example, if SwallowBay wanted to post compilations of their original content (as linear cuts) they would get a straight pass through with no resistance.
We have been talking a lot about the visual effect of spam, but what if we switched gears to a negative effect I feel to be more pressing. The server backlog on uploading content and employee time spent doing quality checks.
Currently, I imagine this is what the process is
1) Each compilation must be reviewed to make sure it complies with everything.
2) Each compilation must also go through the transcoder queue.
3) Most earn about $5 (if we are to take as fact what was mentioned in this post previously)
I assume there is data on all three of these points (employee time spent reviewing compilations, backlog of non-compilation videos getting through as they wait for the many compilations to finish transcoding, money actually being earned on newer compilations).
I think it could be damaging to move to a system where creators essentially get told "no, you cannot make a compilation". The process of becoming a legal entity and just going through the process to actually post a compilation on SLR can take a lot of time and dedication. I think a more hand-in-hand approach could go a long ways with SLR and compilation creators, instead of a blunt axe.
Something should be done. But it should be vocal, and clear. What are the issues, how do we address it, how can we all do better to find something that works.

My suggestion, is a page on the forums specially for compilation creators and SLR and / or a channel in the discord.
This can keep the forums as a place for the general subscriber to discuss things they want to see / tech issues / whatever...while at the same time it will create a section for more business oriented discussion for the creators to collaborate with SLR (I.E., better relations, higher growth, higher quality)
