Circumstances have pushed us into a discussion on what constitutes a self-link. To be specific, we need to decide whether a member uploading their own content to a video host and then submitting it to the Sift should be considered a self-link.

Up until now, we've been working under the policy that yes - any member uploading their own content is self-linking.



However, there are quite a few people who think this is over-zealous policing, and the rule should be changed to allow self-links of these kind.



I'll put my position in the comments, - please give your input. After that - in a little while, I'll post a poll in the sidebar in this post, and we can all vote on it!



Update: I've put the poll up. Please read the discussion thread before casting your vote.



Update 2: I've removed the poll, we'll revisit this topic in a week. In the meantime, please use this thread to talk about fluffy bunnies and how much you like flowers.
