Actually, instead of offsetting with a reduction in slots for others, how about reducing the amount of time vids are in the queue from 4 days to 3 days? The 3rd day is mostly useless anyway.

I'd even go one step further and reduce it to two days. It seems to me like 95% of the votes a video gets either happens on the first day, when it's still new, or the last day, when it enters the expiring soon list. The middle two days are pretty much a vote dead-zone.

I've only been back around for a week or so, but the queue has only gotten bigger (with all the problems that entails). Anything that makes the queue bigger (more slots, more votes to escape, etc.) just makes it worse. I vote nay on the extra slot for diamonds - unless it's offset with a reduction in slots elsewhere.

But I definitely like the idea of giving the 100 stars a benefit - it did seem perverse to give lots of powers to 50s and then nothing for the next 200 posts.

Haha, that's great!  Hope it gets you your gold star!

So wait, this "God" that he's talking about... all that this god does is make sure that physical laws are immutable? ... ? Really? That's the most useless, non-religious, bullshit god I've ever heard a so-called "Christian" ever invoke. Heh, keep your thousand bucks buddy, if thats the only god you believe in, you're welcome to Him. But please, tell your fundy friends to fuck off- obviously such a god wouldn't ever interfere with his creation, and isn't telling them to go to war in the middle east, persecute gays, or fly planes into buildings. That would mean his role as a lawmaker, a creator of a logically consistant universe, would be compromised.

Eye candy: the most useless waste of memory/cpu usage since bonzai buddy

The most useless posting on any thread in the whole vidoesift world is the old "I'm sure I've seen this somewhere" without identifying where you've seen it, and anyone who does it is a schmuck. *discard

Cool and all, but surely the practice required to get this good at unicycling would render one's genitals mostly useless.
