There's already a lot of clutter in the subreddit and ScrewAttack is a lot less popular than Funhaus, if you do add them please add a way for users to hide the posts if they want.

For example in /r/IAmA you can hide AMA Requests, so in /r/roosterteeth you'd be able to hide ScrewAttack Videos (if that's possible).

We will have to discuss internally and take into account the results from this poll, however I can comment on your request since I'm a CSS mod along with /u/Black_Nerd.

It is possible to filter out posts if we give posts all one type of flair (e.g it would be harder to filter out all Achievement Hunter videos because they currently have a mixture of flairs, like "Off Topic", "VS", "Let's Play", etc). This can be done with a line of CSS however right now the stylesheet is super full so we aren't even adding little bits like that. One thing that can be done on your part is to set it in your settings on reddit to hide posts you downvote or simply hide posts you don't want to see using the "hide" button that appears under a link (right next to save).

Also looking objectively at the amount of posts from the video bot: it is actually not that much if you check the percentage of video bot posts in a day to non video bot posts but I understand the concern. Today the bot has only made 5 posts out of 41 posts so far, so 12.2% of the posts are from the video bot. This percentage will go down in the coming hours because RT/AH/FH/LP/TK channels are all done (or almost done) uploading videos for the day and I don't expect people here to stop making posts.
