Polls indicate that users would like pony content to be between 40 and 60 percent of the playlist. I would like to bring forth a few ideas that we can do to bring our playlist closer to about half of the playlist.
If you notice the playlist starting to get saturated, take a break from adding non-pony and suggest the users in a natural tone to add more pony. Find a way to encourage the users who do a good job of showing new pony videos.
You should also take time to bump pony videos so that we have at least some consistency to the content, and that users can tell that we are rooted in a part of the pony fanbase.
I for one will be doing whatever I can to make sure that there are enough pony videos to go around. Thank you other moderators/users for trying to help get more pastel colored horses in the room.

Now here is where my argument comes in.
To be honest, I refuse to force people to watch the same things all day long. It gets very boring and very monotonous. I tell people to add what they want, which means that if they feel like watching ponies, they should add some. It keeps this room enjoyable and fresh. Everyday I see a new video, so that means this room is staying fresh. This room isn't a pony room, it's a room BY and FOR the users of /mlp/. Just because we all like a show doesn't mean we have to watch it 24/7. And remember, we all know what happened to Yaridovich's room. If you don't know, I'll tell you.
What happened is that the room's owner was banning all non-pony videos, so that gave his viewers no freedom. And the owner also started wars with other rooms. So that lead to the room's utter demise. Viewers want the freedom to watch what they want, when they want. Hence why the blacklist is a horrible idea. I'm not saying I'm against more pony, I'm just saying I want the viewers to have freedom.

I'm not saying we ban other types of video, I'm just saying mods should encourage new and original pony videos.

I agree Shiny, there are hundreds if not thousands of pony video's that we as a room have never watched or only watched once or twice, friendly encouragement for original pony video's sounds like a good idea.

So, you guys really want to watch the same shit all day long? We can only watch so much pony related stuff. And by the way, there may be a lot of pony videos out there, but there are so many shitty ones out there too. And keeping on one subject for too long makes the room stale.

I'm for a friendly encouragement of more original pony videos as well. As you said, Yesfan, it is a room for the users of /mlp/ so shouldn't our main focus be on ponies? Since most of the videos that are currently uploaded are shitty anyway, why not make them shitty pony videos? Even at 40 - 60% pony, that's still a lot of opportunity for non-pony videos as well. Since we already have a music night, couldn't we have one of our slower nights, Wendesday comes to mind, turned into a non-pony night where non-pony videos could be played with total freedom? Really, though, I'd like to only see an encouragement of more pony videos, users would still be able to decide on their own what to upload.

I'm fine with pony videos, but too much pony makes the room stale. Like I said before, I'm seeing new videos every single day. I don't think a night without ponies would work because people will get sick of ponies fast on the other days of the week.
