Yes, you got it to work. You can confirm this by checking the comment stream, turning on "show siftbot comments", and going along the comments until you get to the two in question... first one from you saying dupeof, second one from siftbot saying the usual dupe things... or by using search.

I'm pretty sure the feature doesn't apply to all killed vids, only dupes, and it's probably something to do with the way the ?noredirect command works.

I think I may have gotten it to work on the toothpick one but I can't be sure. There is a new "feature" where all comments on a killed video vanish. Someone made a talk thread about it and I posted to that thread as well.

Thanks for the update!

Will need to look into the missing comments from killed posts.

I've made another tweak to *dupeof and *isdupe that will hopefully make them work properly for your own posts, but they're as yet untested.

Hello. I was going to help test out the new ability for a submitter to mark their own video *dupeof= however I ran into a new "feature" while testing.

In my dupe video you asked me to try again, but now that the video is killed all the comments have vanished. See here http://videosift.com/video/Kinetic-toothpick-sculpture-of-San-Francisco-took-35-years?noredirect

There is a talk thread about comments vanishing on killed videos http://videosift.com/talk/No-longer-able-to-view-comments-on-killed-videos-2


Secondly I tried to run the *isdupe on another of my videos and got the error from siftbot that I am not privileged. See here http://videosift.com/video/Beyonces-Single-Ladies-Dance-by-7-year-olds

Thank you for trying to get these changes in place. It may not seem like much but at least for me as a regular user I would feel a little less powerless

OK, well I can see why that one didn't work... it was because there had been no earlier dupeof called. The error should have been that there was no matching dupeof, but perhaps lucky has only allowed it in the exact case that it is your own vid and someone has already done dupeof.

You should have been able to do the isdupe for the toothpick one, except that it appears to have been done already.

You should be able to invoke *dupeof=(url) on that one.

Keep posting vids! I had posted about 80 vids by the time I got bronze. Videos in your pqueue are like money in the bank, it only takes one pp to send them to beggar's canyon, and it used to take me several trips through there to get one to sift unless a star powered member liked one and promoted it.

You are not taking into account the fact that by speaking up you are on everybody's radar now... and being on people's radar is more likely to get your videos watched, and the more people who watch a video the more chance some will like it enough to upvote.

I feel extremely far from bronze. I only have 17 points and Bronze takes 25. I have been here for two years so if the pace continues I won't reach bronze until February of 2014!!

Haha I feel even MORE discouraged now. At this pace I wont reach gold star until 2017...

oritteropo says...

Thanks

Yeah, it was a scary looking crash. They made a big deal about how good the safety features are at that track.

And that makes ten votes. Had a rotor failure on one of our race cars a few years back and it was a frightening crash. I can't imagine a dragster going out of control

In reply to this comment by braschlosan:
I feel that most people could benefit greatly from even a single experience with LSD. I agree with you entirely except for people who are already mentally unstable (which is only a portion of the population)

Someone else in that thread however is very upset by what I said heh


In reply to this comment by enoch:
for those who may be a tad uptight hallucinagenics should be mandatory.
if only once in your lifetime.



dont sweat it my man.
reality is a subjective animal and everybody has their own take.people who have never imbibed may have a viewpoint that is contrary to those who have.
sucks for them...they have no idea what they are missing.

oritteropo says...

Just making your comment was enough to make videosift better, since both the video owner and those of us who read comments got to see it. You're actually not that far off bronze and being able to call vids dead anyway, just need to post a few more vids .
In reply to this comment by braschlosan:
oh for Petes sake screw you siftbot.

How does it make sense that only privileged members can help make videosift better?
