"Whoops! - You're over your submission quota. You are allowed 3 videos in the queue at a time. You can either wait for one of your videos to graduate from the queue, or *discard one of your previously submitted videos."

I see an unpopular video that I submitted and want to dump. I don't see that option. How do I do that? Also, the text has an asterisk for a note. I don't see it.

Thank you in advance.

Shouldn't the submission page say "Submit video" instead of "Submit story"?

Or even just "Submit"...

Where did the post about the queue go? There was a post about only having three in the queue at a time. Did the post get discarded? I was checking to make sure I understood the change made concerning how the queue works.

Why does this display as such? I edited the title to reflect the first comment, and now it's horked.

Is there a blog post with simple ideas for this website? If not, perhaps this could be the culmination point. Every so often I have an idea that could help this site out and I'd rather make sure they are all in one thread instead of scattered everywhere. If anyone else wants to contribute that would be great.

Congratulations, you guys are famous[er]. ;-)

For the record, http://PopUrls.com is an RSS feed aggregator that's become my defacto homepage.

Why is it that Blog posts appear under my Published video tab in my profile? Excuse my asking this but I couldn't find the answer in the FAQ.

Today I was checking Michael Martine’s blog Video Bubble and noticed a mention of an article from TechCrunch
on Sony Pictures purchase of Grouper. Michael also created GoogleTube Video of the Day now in archives.

Ok Go is a phenomenal group. Seeing them for the first time in the treadmill video has made a fan of me. I think they were awesome and for me that's saying a lot.

Im getting very sick of YouTube for several reasons:

1. Fastforwarding is hardly useful as it often will not stick to where my cursor is pointing. If I skip through a video or try to rewind back to a specific point, it can get really difficult and Ill end up watching 30 seconds of something over again just to get to where I want to be. Did I describe that right?

2. It seems so go down too often, which makes this site almost moot as most posts are made with YouTube.

3. The loading times are horrible. I feel like its quicker to upload a file to YouTube than actually watch it.


And to end on a good note, Ill have to complement YouTube on its great job at providing easy access to the best videos on the internet (and thanks to videosift for making it even easier to find those best videos)

It's weird. I see that there's activity going on from the comments section, so I'm wondering why all of a sudden no videos are showing for me.
Well the video in the blog works, but not the frontpage and the queue.
I cleared my cookies and rebooted my computer. Can anyone advise me?

Video removed for violation of posting guidelines.

My Forbes that arrived today has an article that mentions the video <a rel="nofollow" href=" <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.videosift.com/story.php?id=1147#leavecomment">http://www.videosift.com/story.php?id=1147#leavecomment /"> The Easter Bunny Hates You that was made by NBC Universal. Anyway the article discusses how media giants are responding to the explosion of amateur videos on the web.


In writing this I also glanced at the old comments about the posting of this video on the VideoSift and the trouble it caused. Anyway, I thought the article would interest y’all.

If you haven't tried PopURLs.com - you should have a look. It aggregates all of my favourite sites in a lovely link-a-palooza arrangement that lets met get to the good stuff quickly.

I've been a daily visitor there for the past few months, and recently asked creator Thomas Marban to include VideoSift in the list. (We're down towards the bottom, above the comics).

Syntax: *dupe <Videosift link to Story>

e.g.
*dupe http://www.videosift.com/story.php?id=8336

When processed by SiftBot,
1. Discard the post
2. Assign all votes - both for and against - to the listed link.

We haven't had a 100 star graduation for months. I think this is because it's getting a lot harder to get out of queue. Blankman has been with us since almost the beginning of time (early March). Thanks for all of the great posts Blankman, here are a couple of http://www.videosift.com/story.php?id=3529">my favs.

We've had some really good ideas put forward on the way to handle categories. On the one hand, we don't want to "splinter" the focus of VideoSift, while we are still very much experiencing our juvenile growth spurt, but on the other hand, we now have reached the point where tags alone are not sufficient for classifying video.

So the way we thought we would do it, is to places some tick-boxes on the submit page for different categories. I call them "Psuedo" categories because they are not ghettoizing the video to any specific page. All videos designated as belonging to a particular category will still be viewable on the standard main page, however as was suggested in a thread here, we'd also like to create special areas like "music.videosift.com" for people to view just music videos. All votes from these pages will count just the same, and music videos, for example, may be viewed from the music.videosift.com subdomain, or mixed in with the other videos on the main site.

Here are the categories we are considering, but definitely wanted to open this up to suggetsion:

music.videosift.com

politics.videosift.com

tech.videosift.com

Other potential ones up that I thought up, but I'm not sure about:

religion.videosift.com (we sure seem to like to talk about it)

dailyshow.videosift.com (would have to include Colbert as well)

Potentially Videos could be members of multiple categories. For example, a Daily Show clip might be in the Daily Show category as well as the Politics category.

Beyond categories, we'd also like to include an "NSFW" flagging system. NSFW content could be flagged on submission, or flagged by a gold star by "*NSFW". By default NSFW content would be sifted in for logged on members, but you would have the ability to sift it out with an option in your profile. Not logged on visitors would have NSFW content sifted out be default.

NSFW filtering would happen on the front page, queue, top videos, top 15 and search results. If someone navigates directly to an NSFW video (from an off-site link for example) the video will be viewable, but with a warning that it is NSFW.

We're happy to announce the launch of our second international VideoSift, VideoSiftLatina.com. As the name implies, VideoSift Latina is for our español speaking friends. VideoSift Latina is being run by VS member HorsSujet. I can't tell you where Horsujet is from, because he seems to be in a different country each week. He's either studying, or staying ahead of the authorities - not sure which.

As with Ender's VideoSift.pl VideoSift Latina will be a mix of videos from Videosift.com and content specifically aimed at a Spanish speaking audience.

Thanks very much Horsujet for all of your work getting the site ready.

Let's say a vid is reposted because the original videosift link got canned for whatever reason.



Should it still have to go through the same promotion process?



On the one hand, older vids made it onto the front page when the threshold was lower.



On the other hand, the queue gets unnecessarily jammed with vids that have 'already proven their worth'.



Or how about the third option, making it a 'normal practice' to replace the embed codes from the original discarded vid with the new 'working' embed codes?



The downside to the third option is that it discourages people from finding the new vids, since they don't get 'vote credit' if it sticks with the original sifter.
