Should *notquality be an invocation?
I've noticed with increasing frequency that some videos are posted then deemed *quality but perhaps don't deserve such distinction. Quality invocations are, in my mind, a problem because of two things:
1) *quality seems to be much more effective than *promote ever was (or is), making promoting a bad deal since they both cost one powerpoint
2) Multiple members promoting multiple videos wasn't a problem because it just added a new video to the top of the list, quality invoked videos take the place of another video that might be just as deserving of attention
To avoid abuse I propose making *notquality cost 1 power point as well. Just an idea worth consideration, feel free to trash my suggestion altogether but I still wanted some feedback.

No.
Quality is overpowered compared to promote, but basically promote has been obsoleted. Raising the cost of quality might be a solution, but 2 power points is much too steep a cost, in my opinion.
Notquality is a bad idea, because it would lead to quality wars, since people have different tastes. If people don't like the "hotness", which is the only thing affected by quality, they can switch to "newness" and avoid it altogether.
*notquality
*quality
*quality!
Goddamn!! I have 2 power points siftcunt!!
oh......so not onna poll....I geddit..insects what write code-
No, but we do need a *sfw
The change that I'd like to see made is removing promoted/quality'd videos that have already sifted from the unsifted page.
It makes no sense to have unsifted videos competing against already sifted videos on the unsifted page.
Unsifted should display just that .. unsifted videos.
The only promoted/quality'd videos on the unsifted page should be unsifted ones.
I like turtles.
Quality is subjective. If you don't like a video, you may down vote it, criticize it in the comments or quality something else you like better.

How about *nnsfw?
Meh, maybe it was the wrong way to approach it, i said feel free to trash my idea BUT there still is a problem with quality vs promote invocations.
Why not combine what *quality and *promote does for videos into one invocation, then make another invocation for giving star points for sift talk posts?
Invocations (promote) cannot be called by Kreegath because Kreegath is not privileged - sorry.

Maybe a simple solution to keep folks form getting excited....3 points for one, 2 points for the other??-i blew my 20 points wad on promotes...and self-promotes....those came to naught most of em-."Quality" is a personal matter...3 points for qualities!!!
In fact ans relative to topic?? Can we do away with comment voting altogether, considering we are speaking of quality responses as opposed to a simple "click" , "I hate you and your comment???"
I could give a fuck if you dislike my comment, tell me the fuck why how about it??!!! Bring me over to your side with your counterpoint?? DROP A NUT!
Remember one of the main differences between *quality and *promote is that you can *promote a video that has previously been declared *quality. Also, there are lots of times when people, myself included, just *promote a video because it's not deserving enough of a *quality.
If you make a quality invocation cost more power points than a promote invocation you might raise the bar a bit on what may be considered worthy of "quality"-
I'd prefer to leave it how it is. BUT, if it does have to be changed, you could require a quality invocation to be seconded by another (suitably qualified) member (like the dupe function), at the cost of a power point each. That spreads the burden around, and is more likely to ensure only real quality items are qualitied.
Naw thats bullshit. Quality is pure opinion... I need no one to second my opinion.
Sorry to hurt your feelings, but this would be a happy compromise.>> ^KnivesOut:

No feelings were hurt in the digestion of your comment.
I just disagree that I need a commitee to agree to how I spend my hard-earned power points.
It's bad enough that dupe requires two people. There are tons of videos just sitting around waiting for someone to finally *isdupe them. Having to wait for someone else to come along and decide to 2nd *quality a sift would suck imo.
