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 ?

Oh wow, you're kidding....I gotta get a gmail account. >> ^Deano:
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.



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.

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.

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.

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.
