well one and main point is people coming out of the wood work to shout you down
And you pretty much ignored everything you just quoted me on and just re-iterate your previous accusations ~shrug~
But you don't stop there ...

another is there is no problem with the game everything is great
.. you just go straight into a serious strawman because there aren't that many people who claim that "
everything with the game is great".

videos out side of a date range are not allowed
Do you really expect old data (be it a singular data point or a decent enough sample) to be considered "valid" when they were clearly taken prior to many changes in the game but their claims are concerning problems that supposedly exist right now?
And please don't try to plead special cases about bugs like the "heat bug" or whatver bug you're trying to point to further down because this particular thread didn't come into existance because of an alleged bug but rather because I challenged the OP to prove his personal claims about his own player abilities and his opinions on "brokenness" of certain mechs.

(you don't specify the date range but are quick to nullify videos)
See, the problem there is: It isn't "my" or anyone else's duty to lay out the principles of proper sampling / testing. That's actually on the person who tries to prove / disprove their own hypothesis. If they fail at conducting a systematically and otherwise unbiased examination the "peer review" indeed ends with their "proof" being dismissed ... and rightfully so.

I have yet to see that posting videos has helped
unless you can show me an example
Going back to the stuff that you quoted but largely ignored content wise: And you'll wait for something like that to happen till the end of days whenever a video is posted that by its very nature cannot even remotely support the claims that are being made. So I certainly won't be able to show you a specific video that helped in a particular instance but I also won't bother searching for one because if "you" as a proponent of a particular claim cannot be bothered to properly formulate a hypothesis and then conduct an appropriate examination to support your hypothesis I nor anyone else will do that for "you" either.

And your little video is supposed to show what exactly?
Its title simply poses a vague question "Is this a bug?" and then something happens in the video where the audio suggests that you think a bug occured (most likely something to do with jump jets not working correctly).
So now you expect what exactly to happen in here (a thread that isn't about bugs in the first place)?
A confirmation by viewers that there's indeed "a bug"? Well, you'll certainly find some who will agree while others will speculate about the nature of this "bug" and some might even find an explaination (that may be correct or utterly false) for the observed behavior. But if you expect an investigation by PGI into the possible existance of the "bug" you're referring to, then indeed posting the video in here will do pretty much jack sh*t ... and looking at MW:O's current position within a software's life-cyle one is better off with not expecting anything from PGI's side with regards to fixing bugs that cannot be reproduced constistently enough to warrant (scarce) developer time even under the assumption that you had properly presented your case towards PGI ... which - as much as it pains me to say it - you simply haven't.

I was just trying to show what happens if you post a video
And I was trying to tell you
why the things happen that happen if you post a video in the manner that most videos are posted. I even pointed out how you and others could actually work against what is usually happening but then you'd have to put far more effort into the process of collecting video footage and in how you state your hypothesis and then present your results towards the correct audience ... and that's were good old Mr. Hitchens comes into play: "
That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence."
