Dead pool fixes and star point removal
So I saw that I had my brand new shiny bronze star and I decided to take a plunge into the dead pool to see if I could resurrect a sift. I saw this one:
http://www.videosift.com/video/Al-Gore-and-Ross-Perot-debate-NAFTA-in-1993
and thought it looked interesting.
I found the video on youtube here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhwhMXOxHTg
but embedding was disabled. I thought I would be clever and make a publicly available playlist of all the parts and then embed that. Turns out, I'm not that bright. SiftBot accepted it and gave me a star point but the embed doesn't work.
Now I'm looking for someone to take my point away and let me leave quietly in shame.
edit: hmm it looks like MycroftHomlz posted an embed code in that thread also. Maybe that one works.

HaricotVertPeople get star points for submitting dupes that make it out of the queue, which upsets me a lot more than your honesty.

Best spooneristic username on the sift IMHO.
burdturgler(I had to look up spooneristic
)
lol - thanks!
EklekAh, this happened to me once: I called the video dead again - as the embed didn't work - then days later I inserted the right embed. Done! If you can't find a working embed, resurrect other videos from the dead so you've really earned your star point.
burdturglerGood call Eklek, that's what I'll do.

Isn't the starpoint taken back when a post is discarded?
At least I was able to be Bronze then Silver then Bronze only to become silver again when I got another star point.

Yes, and all the votes that contribute to your rank, if you care about such things as rank. I slipped something like eight slots when I discarded a video for aesthetic reasons.
