Congratulations! Your comment on Blankfist's new sock puppets (Sift Talk Post) has just received enough votes from the community to earn you 1 Power Point. Thank you for your quality contribution to VideoSift.

My goodness, you are impatient! Only a Sifter for four days and already sad at it taking time!

Why in my day, it could take weeks.

Post good videos. That is the best advice I can give.

I looked at the only one you have posted, and it didn't speak to me at all. Doesn't mean it isn't a good video. Just that it wasn't one that I even finished watching.

I am wondering, also, if you might be a sock puppet. Wacker? Is that how your name is pronounced?

Doesn't matter. Even sock puppets have to post videos that people like.

Welcome to the Sift -- or welcome back to the Sift, as the case may be.

Whats the point. The things he says now end up being policy anyway with the sock puppet who holds the office now.

If you had made a comment once every 10 times you claim to have visited the sift, you'd be in a position to not be "Probabtionary". links just happen when you type it.

"P" members aren't allowed to post links due to trolls and spammers. We want to know you're here seriously.

In truth, I was intimating you were a "sock puppet", or a throwaway membership created by someone here who didn't want to take responsibility for the post. Whether as a joke or for trolling, it's still looked down on.

Welcome to the Sift! ...finally.

ps. I really have nothing to do, officially, with the Sift. I was using the community "we" above.

Sock puppet.

Your video, Metallica - Master of Puppets (Sock Puppet Parody), has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

I think it depends on how you define "worse". I believe that Hillary is capable of being the shadowy, sleazy politician that knows the corrupt system, knows how to use/abuse it, and is 100% willing to bend it to her own goals.

Trump is a largely incompetent blowhard. He, like Hillary, says what he thinks he has to say to get the support of his base, and then flip-flops to suit his purposes. He isn't a Washington insider, he doesn't have the network of connections that Hillary does.

If Trump could be another Bush, Hillary could be another Nixon. I'm not convinced that Hillary is the lesser of two evils here.

And that's still working under the assumption that Trump would be as bad as Bush. Bush was bad, but without Dick Cheney and Karl Rove whispering in his ear, maybe he'd have been a merely incompetent president instead of a terrible one. For all the negative things that I think can fairly be said of Trump, I don't think that he's very likely to become someone's sock puppet like Bush.

I'm definitely not sure that Trump would be better than Hillary (for whatever definition of "better" one chooses), but I don't think it is cut and dry to the point of delusion for someone to see either of them as the bigger threat.

As a Canadian I would just like to say this is a bunch of bullshit. We have a lot of fucked up laws up here that they don't have down in the states. You can be sued for defamation and slander for mocking public figures here.

One of our Crown prosecutors tried to prosecute a man for disagreeing with some feminists on Twitter and northern Alberta has been turned into a toxic waste dump.

Our new Prime Minister is a sock puppets with a SJW's hand up his ass.

So if you see one of my smug countrymen telling you how much better it is up here you have my permission to kick him in the balls.

This member's account has been reinstated after admittedly creating a sock-puppet not knowing it was forbidden and promising to play by the rules.

Was just wondering if you were the first non sock puppet (looking at you @dag) videosift member. Sifted a few videos nine years ago then vanished. Although you came back and voted on one video last year.

Did he downvote your comment?

Well, he banned my fucking account.

Because ummm, one of his sockpuppets was upset?

So, he gets to completely abuse his power here banning others and gets to create sock puppets, and the only downside is his sockpuppet gets banned?

Why is he still here? Why are so many people not here anymore? I wonder if there's a connection.

Your account has been identified as a sock puppet of a banned account. This account is hereby terminated.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Oh dear lord!!!

I just found out that I insulted you!

Turns out it is ME who is the noob.

I thought noob meant new person. That's all. A new person to the Sift. A very kind individual has told me that noob means new person who fucks things up because they don't know what they are doing.

So I am the noob. The fuck up.

I hope the sock puppet comment isn't insulting, too. There are a lot of sock puppets on the Sift, a history of them. I am still learning how to deal with sock puppets -- my initial reaction is to feel like I am being badly used. I am trying to get over that feeling.

Anyway. Yeah. I'm just trying to be friendly to someone who has engaged with me, and to engage intellectually other than in dueling comments. (That is what I call the back and forth of comment streams -- dueling monologues.)

I just saw what a noob you are. What an intro to the Sift!

Unless you are a sock puppet. Then that is another layer of something.

(Is sock puppet a general internet term, or specific to the Sift? I've never asked...)
