A special place to list videos that are a vote away from being promoted. Play Sift Programming Director if you like them, because you'll be sending them up to the Front Page immediately unless someone sneaks in a downvote.

We reserve the right to include worthy 7 to 8 vote vids when running short on 9's.

[description edited on July 29, 2009 in line with queue release upgrade from 10 votes to 15! ... then back down to 9 when the queue limit was rescinded down]

Dozens of probationary member's sifts vanish away in the queue without much notice. Some come back and try again, but many just don't have the strength or will to try again.

It doesn't have to be this way......With your help these Newbies can get the support they need to survive. Just one vote per day could make a difference. We waste so much more than that in one visit. You CAN make a difference.

In the time it took you to read this introduction, a newbie sift could have already died.

Given how few Grateful Dead vids are on the sift, this is open to related additions.
