Concerning dead videos

Two things id like to see changed regarding dead videos.

1. Videos that are unsifted should be able to be deaded. At the current time videos unsifted cannot be deaded for what reason i don't understand. No reason to have a dead video on the front page, and if it is deaded more chance for it to get fixed and back into the world of working videos quicker.

2. No more 2 day wait to fix a dead video by another sifter(not original sifter). Id like to see all dead videos go immediately into the dead pool. I see no reason for them not to. The quicker they get there the quicker they might be fixed.

I would have made a poll but just seems like a no brainer as i see no upside to keeping it the way it is...other then @lucky760 will have to do some mucking with the code (its not like he has a real job and kids to take care of)

I've had a thought about the unsifted dead problem. We can already *discuss them, perhaps that's the way forward?

*discuss dead?

What happens to an unsifted vid that's in sift talk for 2 days btw?

What would be the point of putting a dead video in discuss if it's at all possible to make these changes? And even then what comes of a dead video going into sifttalk? How does that fix/solve anything?

Seems to me its a no brainer to just make the changes i suggest, unless @lucky760 can't implement the changes.

If there is another reason to leave things they way they are id like to hear it.

Oh, absolutely, if it's an easy fix then I vote for it too

A dead vid in talk gives the owner or any gold star or higher a chance to fix it, or otherwise keeps it out of unsifted where people will be disappointed.

It was the only idea I had...

Thanks for the update. Yes, take care of life first. We'll live with this old issue for now.

@eric3579 @ant

I'm having a very difficult life right now and will revisit this and probably make the changes as soon as I can (unless @dag has a differing opinion).

Thank you for your patience.
