^ that's the point

edit .. doublepost

There was nothing autocratic about it. Someone called *ban and someone else *banned.

>> ^bareboards2:

What if it is was a friend of the York? Who was chatting with his/hir buddy, said it got booted, and thought he would do a solid?
I just checked the rules. Doesn't say anything about friends posting friends videos.
"The video is associated with your account on the video host (i.e., you uploaded it to YouTube, Google Video, etc.).
You played any role, no matter how large or small, in any aspect of the production of the video.
You are in any way responsible for or involved in marketing, promoting, or any other manner of proliferating the video.
You could receive any form of compensation (monetary or otherwise) as a result of the submission or subsequent views.
You are somehow represented in the content of the video (whether photographically, artistically, audibly, or metaphorically) without the approval of a site administrator."
Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. Of course, I am a complete noob on the whole banning thing -- perhaps being autocratic really is best for the Sift.
I went and looked at the YouTube comments -- certainly this guy is a complete asswipe with a crap personality, based on his response to the banning. So maybe you are right. It's interesting that his first two comments were deleted -- I don't know by whom.
The whole thing fascinates me. I am such a noob....

@bareboards2
It was the same video posted from the same YT account by a new VS account created within hours of the first account here being banned for the same exact sift.
Things that don't go in it's favor:
Zero comments. Posting a sift instantly upon account creation. No votes for any sifts (including their own).
That video has 96 views on youtube. What do you think the odds are of two different people doing the exact same thing with new VS accounts on the same fucking video that has such little views (and most of them probably coming from VS)?

Just joined and with no comments this is the first sift.

Alright, two awesome people have privately contacted me and told me this is a dupe. (thanks to you both) .. but since it's pretty hot right now in the listings, how about we let it run it's course and the votes will be transferred to EDD when it's done. I'll dupe it when it's through.

Dear Earth,
When editing a video, movie etc, please set the volume of the music far lower than the volume of the person speaking.
Thanks,
BT

errr .. and yes, I'm a little concerned that I just said I don't want to see bewbs ..

I think it's a good rule. It's consistent with other related rules when submitting a video (title, tags and description should be reflective of the content). It would be fun to have creative license with thumbnails but I'm sure it would get abused. Not that anyone here would do such a thing, but I don't want to see a constant stream of "bewb" thumbs here

>> ^MaxWilder:

I think the surprise is ruined in the first two seconds, as you see legs under the box.
I'm guessing that a little knowledge of the back story (military dad, home from deployment a little early) would make this even sweeter. I know for me the best part was the sound that little girl made when she first realized it was her dad.


Yeah .. you're right. I added tags, description etc.

I learned that it's really hard to get blood stains out of a clown suit.

"if anyone abuses the feature by inserting inappropriate content (or content that is not part of the video) they will be punished..."

I don't care either way .. just sayin .. the FAQ should be updated with that info.
