How did the war prevent a play from being performed?

Reminds me when I acted in a Charles Dickens inspired play and then Gulf War 2 started and it was never performed.

*promote for being early on a new *meme

I haven't yet figured out what must be a brilliantly devilish plan, but there has to be some reason why you reward someone who downvotes your kitty video with a promote. Until I figure it out, I'm gonna teach you a lesson and upvote your pq. Take that!

and... thanks!

Whu!?!

...I see what you did there

Yes, it is...

Just remember to remove all jewelry first. We don't want any accidents attributed to VS now.

I was trying to be funny.

Fair enough. After reading your comment, I went and looked for more of this dog. Didn't realize it had been done to death already. It was first time I had seen it, and thought it was funny, so...


In reply to this comment by xxovercastxx:
This hideous little dog is yet another *meme. Memes are almost always automatic downvotes for me.

Fixed! Thanks for the save.

Or, y'know, it could be *dead already. That too. *shakes fist at copyright lawyers*

By voting down while a video is in the queue, one has a chance to affect the post. Afterwards, it seems, it's not much more than a "your taste sucks."


Exactly my point. Why would you want to "affect the post" by preventing such an uncontroversial video from getting published? Was it because he applied the "cute" label and you didn't find it so? I'd never tell someone how they are supposed to vote, so don't get me wrong here. If you read back on some of the ST's on the subject, you know there are as many ideas about exactly when downvotes should be used as there are members here. But, generally, I think people choose to no-vote non-offensive videos at least until they make it out of the queue. If a video is popular enough, it will make it out regardless of any no-votes, but so many just squeak by, or just miss by a vote or two. I'm not saying every video should be published, either. Read arrendek's bio. Pretty much the way I see it. Kind of a "to each his own" view.

[edit]
Ah, so a video can be discarded even after publication. That changes my feelings about down voting after publication being more rude. But I still think it makes more sense not to wait - if the point of a down vote is to express the opinion that one really doesn't want a video on the sift. I do try to be very judicious with down votes.

I've seen several videos make it out of the queue, only to be discarded for content, dupe, self-link, etc. Again, you can use a downvote for any reason you like. That doesn't mean we have to agree on it's use. You can apply "to each his own" here too. The only thing that is against VS rules ("entirely unacceptable") is fragging, using it as a personal vendetta against a poster.

One last point - SG had no such qualms about down voting my video while it was in the queue, and it didn't seem to bother you then, Fletch. In fact, nearly all of the down votes I received on my submissions were while they were in the queue.

I don't pay attention to the comments of, or even see, every video, so I'm sure there are lot's of examples counter to my view of things. The only reason I even noticed your downvote was because maatc referred to it in his comment. As far as the Jesus Christ Action Figure video... I think you'll find (if you haven't already noticed), that any videos of a religious nature, even one so inane as that, tend to polarize many people here. I thought it was funny. I upvoted it. But the same topics that can offend and create tension and conflict in the real world can offend and create tension and conflict here. What I thought was funny may have offended SG. Also, we're all human. Sometimes we just break our own rules

(BTW, I bolded my portions so it was easier to separate from yours, not because I was yelling at ya.)

Your Office Blooper vid is dead. Tried to find you a good one, but couldn't find a true replacement. Posted a link to another Season 3 reel, though.

No worries.

“Fletch, just had to discard your chair post cos it was a dupe!

Sorry mate!

Ok, found a new one. I think it's probably still around because he misspelled "Choctaw". I don't understand why labels do this. I already own this cd, but I would love to get the DVD. I didn't even know there was a DVD 'til I saw this. You'd think an Akus video on a li'l ol' site like this would only serve to expose the band to people who mayn't have heard of or seen them before. Why is that bad?

“Did I say congrats for your gold? Well consider it said then ”

I shouldn't type as I think. I was trying to think of an easier way to describe it to someone hung up on the 50/50 thing, but as I read it now... well, I understand it, but I can see I probably didn't make it less confusing for someone who may already be confused. Just skip over the pink boxes.
