i used to help run a site that was all user submitted content, and processed via epoch. everyone who submitted a gallery or video, we made them send in documentation before they could post. and then, all galleries & videos were reviewed & approved by hand. we had to reassure epoch several times over that this was the process and that it would always be the process, no exceptions, before they, and eventually visa, approved it. and i'm sure visa was watching it like a hawk.

you can probably resubmit again after some adjustments are made. but aside from visa issues there's gotta be some other legal pitfalls with charging membership for user submitted vids. you might wanna switch back to ads
what about lubeyourtube.com? thats been going for a few years, and charges a fee. It also has a lot of gay teen videos on, a lot of which would be in the grey area
