why? based on what reasoning?
Let me look up the meaning of 'sift'
.....
Turns out the meaning is the complete opposite of what you're trying to do, so no thanks.
I'm not trying to argue or oppose but I rather have a let's all "sift everyone's PQ day" instead of this "lets upvote a bunch of stuff we have not even watched yet day". Seems more honest.

If any of you ever go to my PQ, on any day, please dont vote it without at least partially watching to see what it is about. Thanks.
Since there is a list requested here for participating members; then if there is ever a list of people who dont want their PQ to be involved in the Upvote Everything day, please include me on it.

This is why we think you're the craziest member, blankfist. I'd prefer an upvote everything Fjnbk sifts day.

I love it. In my opinion, when you're feeling generous, the fact that someone besides the maker of the video found a clip interesting enough to post on the sift is enough of a reason to upvote at a time like this. THAT's what the sift is about...that it's not YouTube. I love the idea and I'm with 'ya blanky.

mauz15 and Fjnbk won't participate. We got it. We will skip your queue.

Why the fuck not, I've been watching videos all day anyway.

Can I call you gwankfist?

This is a well meant yet horrible idea

I'd like to upvote everyone's obscure yet good music.

I'm so disillusioned now... I had thoughts that I might be living some form of double or triple life, when I saw that avatar.

Now I know how Sarzy feels.

(And I only vote for awesome things, so if everything is awesome, I'll upvote it. )

No, gwiz#2, you must upvote everything. That is why it's called UPVOTE EVERYTHING DAY.

Who else is with us? You must upvote everything without prejudice!

Who else is with me? You must downvote everything without prejudice!

Everything that doesn't suck, anyway....

But what happens if CP420 joins?

Edit: Nevermind. HAHAHA! Banned.

Hey faggots, you are clearly violating many of the rules that have caused people to be banned.

I am requesting a siftquisition for anyone who takes part in such behavior as blanket upvoting other submissions, especially in a reciprocal nature. If you were to do exactly this but with downvoting, you would be banned, so why is this different?

If you need to force the issue I will downvote video-for-video anything that blankfist of DFT upvotes, and when I get banned, those users must be banned for the same reason. If you care to say you actually enjoyed all those videos, I will also state that I did not enjoy the videos. Technically I am doing a public service and returning the videos to the correct 10 vote escape limit. (I'm surprise lucky has not implemented a 5 downvote per hour limit or something yet)

I said I was not going to argue but on second thought:

"If down voting or any other member privilege is intentionally misused, the offending member will be temporarily banned for no less than 2 weeks. A second offense will result in a permanent ban"

I see intention without a justifiable reason, and upvoting counts as a member privilege.
This 'event' makes no sense at all and has no justification whatsoever.

This "you must upvote everything in everyone's unsifted queue"

clearly contradicts

Abuse Guidelines ¶

1. Video votes must be cast only for the content and nothing else; the video must be viewed before voting


Don't be inconsistent and self contradicting. If this was about downvoting, many will be calling for a ban.

Dag,

Why has this not been thrown out yet? It's one thing for spontaneous mass upvoting, but this is a blatant advertisement to violate the site policies? Why is this not discarded and the conspirators chided and reminded not to screw up the sifting and voting policies which essentially are the engine that keep the front page with regular content?

Are you promoting mass rebellion by members to form voting cliques? And also remove the ten vote threshold by mass voting all videos until the frontpage is swamped again?

Congratulations joe. If this post is the most difficult adversity you face in life, then you must be doing alright, although you do sound a bit backed up. What if we all chipped in to buy you a hooker, or at least some Imodium?

yours truly,

faggots

Seriously, I've never thought this was a good idea. It just completely defeats the purpose of the site. Upvoting a video because it's there is like writing "FIRST!" on every comment thread and then leaving.

Nineteenth!

God! If you like grinding levels go play WoW, Hello Kitty Island Adventure or something...

Any other takers? No one cares about the chest-pounding, so save that for the CP420 Siftquisition page, please. Now, who else is with us? We know a lot of people enjoy this, because I always get secret PMs from people wanting me to upvote their queue.

as usual, us faggots (joedirt called us faggots in case you missed it) are the only ones who know what love is...

On Monday I'm gonna downvote everything you guys upvote.

Hopefully this would be stuff you weren't going to upvote anyway, otherwise that would be wasted. Wasted like the quality of the sift.

^another chest-pounder. I think the Sift has heard you loud and clear, and everyone is impressed with your cock size. Bravo. But, this is a thread for people who want to help.

Interesting how the focus is on the faggot part but not on the legitimate question he made.

Just because people enjoy something does not justify it nor makes it an exception to the guidelines in place.
Just because you think powerpoints are enough of a counterpoint to the issue of quality, does not make what you are trying to do valid.

For the third time, how is this not against the purpose of this site which happens to be called VideoSift?
Shall we break it down?

video
sift

Sift means to make an examination and careful arrangement/organization

Therefore Videosift means to carefully sort the content of this website which happens to be videos.

"must upvote everything" is the complete opposite.

Stop acting like the legitimacy of this event has reached a consensus. Before you keep saying "who else is with me?" make a valid case.

Another attempt at red herring. How long until the non related premises stop and a direct address to the opinions differing from yours is made?

You say this is for people who wish to help, that's nice but it will be better if they helped correctly.
Upvoting everything makes the point of this place void, so in the end you help no one.

Like I said, a more honest, less messy way to help would be to SIFT everyone's PQ not just go on an upvote rampage so that at the end of the day the front page is full with a ton of content that you have not even made the effort to watch.

Feel free to call this chest pounding, but after that, care to give a proper response.

*discard

The chest thumping is cluttering the room. Let's try this again.

Discarding this post - discard requested by original submitter blankfist.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I ask myself, "does this hurt the sift" and I answer myself "yes, slightly" posts should be voted up on merit. Please upvote per the guidelines.

sheesh. This doesn't hurt the sift. If anything, it encourages users and makes them feel goooooooood, plus a lot of good stuff makes it out of dead-land (where most good stuff is anyway).
In case nobody has noticed, only sheeple-ish clips ever make it to the top 15 anyway, ever. The good stuff, if it sifts, languishes at 10-15 votes. Where is this superb quality sift that the defenders so vehemently fight for? In their dreams, I tell you. It's a nice thought, but in the end this is a community, not a place where everybody is focused on the Crème de la Crème.

I think calling the users of the site "Faggots" hurts the sift more...
