So for the last few days/weeks, I've been seeing quite a few Youtube videos show up in comments to really old/unused communities. (SGA/DC ones especially.)

Mostly I've just been deleting the vids as they've cropped up, since they're usually in replies to my comments, not actually *my* communities.

Ick, I've gotten a few of those. Didn't watch the embedded vid, just deleted, reported and banned, thank goodness.
