Spam Filters
We've recently rolled out some great new spam filters that we think will help keep spammers off of Vimeo. Of course its impossible to stop ALL spammers, so if you ever see any send an email to Help@vimeo.com and we'll take care of it.

Now you can add multiple email addresses to your account and then sign in with any of them using the same password. Just set one as your main address, verify it after we send you an email, and you're all set.

What we are working on
Team Vimeo has been paying close attention to every bit of user feedback we get. We realize the site isn't perfect, but we're intent on moving *towards* perfection, and your feedback is a crucial part of that process.
Part of being responsible developers is taking in all user feedback, taking a deep breath, and acting upon those suggestions when the time is right. We can't just tackle every problem that pops up like Whac-A-Mole. If we did, the site would devolve into a sprawling, unmanageable blob of conflicting interests and hastily built hacks. So if you have a brilliant suggestion in the forums and we say, "good idea", you should not be offended if two months elapse before we implement it.
So, to the point of this post. Our current project is what we're calling v5.1. It's dozens of small improvements and bug fixes based on your feedback from the forums, as well as our own ideas. A lot of you have reported that the current site feels "not quite right" and we're on the same page. I think v5.1 will address the underlying problems that create those feelings. Unlike v5, though, it won't be a monolithic release: we'll push out the changes throughout each day as we finish them. When we're totally done with v5.1, we'll start working on some new features that I am VERY excited about; we just have to be patient because building new stuff on top of a shaky foundation is a bad idea.This conversation is missing your voice.

I'd much rather know there is a stone foundation beneath us all. I'm a heavy guy.
