Confirming an upvote
I just up voted a video because my finger "ticked" while I was dragging the curser to the top of the screen. I upvoted a video I did not watch, and it was no fault of my own will. I put in writing this notice to change the system so that you have to confirm an upvote just as you would a downvote.
What say Ye ?

Sounds reasonable to me any action that effects the sift either positively or negatively should require confirmation IMO
Any damage done by rare accidental upvotes is trival beside the annoyance caused by having to confirm every time.
Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
Would be less trouble just to allow "unvoting" rather than having to comfirm each time.
Allowing people to change their votes would not be good. It could lead to all sorts of situations.
It's fine as it is IMO.
I vote for a CAPTCHA drunk/high test every time you vote. "Are you sure you're not high?"
No but how about an undo facility which times out after about 5 seconds. In the same way I can undo sending an email when logged into gmail.
Oh wow, you're kidding....I gotta get a gmail account. >> ^Deano:

Yeah it's useful, you can change it from 5 to 30 seconds (with 5 seconds increments in between). Handy if you have second thoughts.
Same with downvotes. How about an undo feature?
So, the whole pop-up box to confirm your downvote is really not enough? really?

No.
I like ideas.
I also like not voting for something I find out is shit.
I do not think its anything to ask a person to confirm a upvote, it takes a whole whopping two extra seconds if that.
I liked the time out idea, reset it within a seven second period or so. Fifteen if you failed the drunk/high test.
Nope.
sounds like you deserve a ban, or a hobble at least. egregious offense.
Like reddit.
But yeah, the mechanics of videosift are such that you should not be able to take your vote back, like if the post has passed some sort of threshold.
