cool idea, but the majority of the videos on the "videos" tab make me immediately wary of how useful this will be.

There's one guy (Mike_Egg) who owns the majority of the videos on the page. That in itself is suspicious, since if they were so frequent over a single location, we wouldn't need something like this to catch them. The videos are also VERY sloppily edited, though. Meaning they are feeding fake data to this system and having it flag artifacts they shopped in.

its a cool idea, but I'd maybe put some policing on your user-submitted videos to weed out the obvious fakes if you want to gain credibility that this system works
