Hey I just watched your current YouTube vid which I posted on sift talk. Then I realized you are self linking your videos. If you read the rules on the sift, this is the one which is not tolerated. It may sound crazy, but there are good reasons. I would be happy to post your videos. I watch them all and have posted one previously.

VS self link rule

Please don't self link. While you may see this site as a great way to promote a project you are working on, it would be bad for our content if everyone just put up videos of them and their friends doing random things. If you think that the project you've put together is truly amazing and we must see it, please email us. We'll take a look at it and if we think it's really great too, we'll add it for you. If you skip this step your account will be deleted. Hey it's harsh, but it's harsh love.

What exactly constitutes a self link?
If any of the following is true about a particular video you are considering submitting, it is a self link, with NO exceptions for any member:

* 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.


If you are self-linking, regardless of your logic or explanation, you are violating the posting guidelines. There are no exceptions for any reason, whatsoever.
