Anyone else not receiving emails when people quote or @ you?
If anyone @blankfist or quotes me or even leaves a message on my profile page, Siftie doesn't send out the appropriate email. Well, by golly, he's bad news, I tell ya. What gives? Why I outta!

I don't know, @blankfist, it seems to be working fine for me. How long have you been having this issue, @blankfist? Isn't it great weather we're having after last week's heat wave, @blankfist?
HAVE YOU WATCHED INCEPTION YET, @blankfist? ISN'T IT A GREAT FILM, @blankfist?
BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA@blankfistAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM
Nope. Not a single email, @Kevlar.
Sifty e-mails me randomly these days. I just got e-mail about 3 deaded videos, when I had siftys comments about 4. He didn't e-mail me about my latest top-15 entry, though he e-mailed me about the one before that. But he skipped one before that. I think he just e-mails randonly these days. None of those would have any quotes in them.
I think he's getting old.. senile.. or mebbe he's got a GF.
I just now I can't really count on e-mails to figure out what's going on, I need to actually come and read my comments, and go 'Oh! I have deaded videos!! Why didn't Sifty frigging e-mail me!'
It is OK, it doesn't bother me. I see way more inconsistent people at work every day
The world is coming to an end.
I'm drunk.

I'm drunk.
What's your drink of choice siftie?
I'm not getting emails, either.
But sometimes...that's a good thing.
@rougy.
Did you check your spam box?
Yep. Nothing in spam. No emails anymore. Nada. So, it's just rougy and me, I guess.

Oh, crap, I actually didn't get an email either.
I've been noticing nobody has responded to my @* taunts in the last couple days.
Yeah, I'm not getting any videosift emails for anything... profile comments, quoted, dead videos etc.
Lunch break's over, Siftie.

Bite my shiny metal ass.
I've been getting plenty of mails. Siftie is playing favorites and I'm not complaining.
Yep, no emails for me, @blankfist.
I heard @siftbot is only sending emails to users who give it sexual favors. @gwiz665
@chilaxe it takes a certain kind of man to fill a sperm dumpster like @siftbot.
Well, @blankfist, as it turns out I'm getting no emails at all from @siftbot or anyone else, such as a recent comment from @GenjiKilpatrick in one of my unsifted vids that went unreported to my inbox. Who knows how many @kronosposeidon sexual advances I've missed out on!
Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
Testing @dag.

Did it work, @dag and @lucky760?
I'd love to know as well, @blankfist, @dag and @lucky760.
We must get to the bottom of this! @blankfist, @dag and @lucky760.
Check your spam folder.
I just looked at mine and found dozens of lost Sift emails (among some from other senders). Not sure what the deal is.

I'll second this. I think Gmail is being a bit overzealous - found lots of videosift and other legitimate emails in the ol' spambox today.
Nothing has ever been in my spam folder from sifty - I check my spam daily just in case (and I use yahoo mail for VS). Like I said, sifty e-mails me randomly. Some mails about deaded videos arrive, most don't. I think I get about one notice out of every 4 or 5 messages sifty leaves me. Or people in general - I don't think I have gotten any notices about messages from 'regular sifters' lately.
Oh well..

Good catch, @lucky760 - I just found them all in gmail spam as well. Don't I feel smart, now!
@blankfist, do a search on "in:spam from:Siftbot" if you're using gmail as well.
I made a filter that puts a label on all the mails from siftbot, so they never hit my spam folder.
Matches: from:Siftbot
Do this: Apply label "Videosift"
Yes, ^that is a good interim solution. In google you can select "never send to spam" for such emails.
It turns out that after that power outage we had recently, our servers got added to the spam blacklist again (because a setting on the server was reset and caused our emails to look like spam).
The setting has since been restored and we have requested that we get removed from the blacklist, so hopefully all will be right again with the world before too long.
Yes, I do not receive e-mails. But then, I opted out of that shit.

An easier solution is to just add siftbot@videosift.com to your address book. Email from people in your address book never go to the spam folder.

Blow him! He likes that!
My spam box is empty. No VideoSift emails are being sent to me at all. As @rasch187 said, "The world is coming to an end."
Okies, got e-mails from Sifty this morning, about more deaded vids (thanks campionidelmondo grumblegrumblegrumble), so mebbe things are working again
Um. Yeah, this morning the flood gates opened and Siftie sent 96 emails to my inbox. Damn. I guess the pipes are unclogged. To test: @blankfist

Quoting also still seems broken

Yes, it is. I think there is a thread about it.
Still not getting emails for quotes and @.
