Good advice. I hate seeing my friends upset by actions like this.

Stuff like this is driving people away from the Sift...myself included.

Maybe that's the reason behind it???

No no, bad idea. You'll get banned downvoting out of spite.

Good point you made though...You're also not supposed to downvote people's videos just because you don't like the sifter that posted them. This is directed at YOU @BoneRemake

LOL! lurgee and I were just kidding @legacy0100

>> ^lurgee:
poor @BoneRemake. one day i hope that little boner will grow up. i sorta like him, but he seems very emotional and childish. he is ok till things do not go his way. i am sorry to hear that the boy gave you a childish remark. you are one of the sweetest meatbags and definitely a pillar of the sift. it pisses me off that some morons have to be so immature. if ya want, just downvote all his shit, i would if i was in you position. <IMG class=smiley src="http://cdn.videosift.com/cdm/emoticon/wink.gif">>> ^pumkinandstorm:
At least you got an upvote from @BoneRemake on yours. All I got from him was a downvote and nasty comment. Perhaps he prefers crickets...or people that aren't named pumkinandstorm?


Great advice @lurgee It won't be too difficult to find pointless crud of his to downvote.

He likes to be a troll, leaving asinine comments on my page every now and then, so I share your misery. I just put him on my ignore list and it's gotten better.
BTW, shouldn't this video be a dupe then? There is an earlier submission available but the link is down. It can be revived with this link. I don't know it's a tricky situation....


Thank you @legacy0100 I didn't even know I could "ignore" people, but that's a great idea - will definitely try that! I wish there was a block button so that "someone" can't continue to downvote my videos on a regular basis. @papple could you please revive your dead video so we can confirm that it's the same video? When you do, I will dupe this one and transfer the votes to you - Please send me a note when you get it working. That should make it less tricky!

Looks like this one is twice as long, so not a dupe. Perhaps it was the additional context that made it skyrocket?

Or perhaps the cockroach is inherently yuckier than a cricket?

Ah, the ways of the Sift! You can't predict 'em.
