Fanpop Question

What happens to videos with broken links if the person who added them to Fanpop doesn't remove them when reported?

I know from my own experience that a video flagged as broken leads to the person who added it getting an email, and then they're supposed to remove it or replace it with a working one. But what happens if they don't? What if it's a video added by someone who's been banned or has left Fanpop, or if the person simply ignores the email? Do the F4 check out the video themselves at all? I've reported some broken videos months or even years ago and they're still there!

I found a spot full of dead videos last week and reported, they're all gone now. I don't remember the users, but I doubt they were all still around, 'cause the spot hadn't been touched in 9 years. >.>

Maybe it depends on how many members are reporting the videos? Because as I said in the question, videos I've reported months ago are still there.

If that someone is no longer on Fanpop, all those broken videos would get deleted by some mod. I flagged a lot of broken videos in "Grease 2" club myself. After a week or so, all of them are gone now. The person who added those broken videos is not on Fanpop anymore. I have no idea if she got banned from this site, or if she deleted her own account, but she's no longer around to fix all those broken videos herself. I think she already forgot she even had a Fanpop account once. That was years ago, back in 2007, or 2008, or maybe in 2012, I don't know when. It says they were uploaded over a year ago, but that could mean anything, even ten years ago, or more. This site has a very bad counter, you know. She even got a medal in that club for adding so many pictures and videos. If you ask me, the best way to deal with all those broken videos is allowing us to re-upload YouTube videos ourselves to this site. That way, they would never got broken in first place. You know what I mean. First we download some video from YouTube, and then we simply upload it to this site. No more broken videos ever. Problem solved.
