Invocation links...
Possible *Invocations • more info
discard • dead • notdead • discuss • findthumb • quality • brief • long • nsfw • blocked • nochannel • dupeof • amazon • promote
I accidently moved http://www.videosift.com/video/iPhone-controlled-QuadRotor-Helicopter-with-onboard-cameras to SiftTalk earlier. I think those invocation links needs a confirmation or user needs to add an asterisk to confirm it.

I never even knew you could do that! But yeah, it does seem like a confirmation window should pop up if you're going to do something drastic like discuss or discard a video.
You did add an asterisk

Um, VS added it in after clicking on a link.
OK now i get it. Had no idea that was possible.
There is a confirmation required. It's the button with the text "submit new comment" on it that you clicked after the "discuss" link.

Hmm, I didn't see it last time.

I think what overcast means is that clicking an invocation only inserts it into the comment textbox. You still have to submit the comment by clicking the submit button, which can be seen as kind of a confirmation. Adding another confirmation for the invocation links themselves might be a bit overkill, especially when all you want to do is post an invocation without any additional text. You'd have to first click the invocation, then click its confirmation and then click submit.

Oh. See that was the thing, I wasn't paying attention and I must had accidently clicked on the link when moving my mouse. I do not have stable hands/a body.
Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
I agree that the Sift is not mandible/antenna user friendly enough. We'll work on that.

Yes, I believe VS is discriminating against ants.
champ got it right, but he took all the smart-ass out of it that made my initial comment so self-amusing.
(The following paragraph came out sounding a little obnoxious. That's unintentional.)
At some point you have to be responsible for what you type/click and the rest of us shouldn't be inundated with "Are you sure?" messages because some people don't want to pay attention. It's annoying enough that I have to confirm a downvote.
Why do we have to confirm downvotes but not upvotes? Is accidentally upvoting not just as bad as accidentally downvoting? Why do votes even lock in? Why can't I shift my vote between up, neutral and down at any time? Sometimes you just feel different about a video after you've had time to consider it or after reading an informative comment.
