Question about downvoting, and other stuff.. NEWBIE!
I am pretty new to videosift, and totally unfamiliar with how to use the sifttalk, so bear with me (and I tend to get spammy when I try to explain what's on my mind..). Anyway, just wanted to say I'm sorry if these questions have been posted before/recently. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to search stuff on Sift Talk, and I will not browse though about 200 pages to see if there is an answer...
I try to post mostly stuff I find funny, but I also post lots of music videos, and then some posts that are more serious, whether I agree with the topic or not. I get some downvotes, and while I know it is OK to downvote, I'd love to know why! It seems lots of my downvotes have come from one person, and I still don't know why. I try to discard a post if it gets a downvote right away, and no other ipvotes, just so I am not upsetting somebody. I'd still love to know why I get a downvote. Was it a total waste of your time? or was the video offending? And if it was, then why?
Maybe, in addition to the just 'NSFW' tags, and trying to add the video to suitable channels and adding tags to make sure you won't wantch if it you think it offens you.. Could be more flags, like 'contains REAL life violence' .. 'contains sexual references' , 'contains drunk people' ..
I am just confused.. If you know you are not going to like a video, are you still going to watch it, then downvote? If I am really offending people by posting something I find harmless and funny, I REALLY, really would like to know why the downvote so I can not post things like that.
Yes, I am sensitive! Yes, I take downvoting personally! But No, I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings by posting.. Yes, I am addicted to Videosfit! Yes, I want my gold star, and YES, I love Videosift!
Like I said, if all this and then some has been asked before, just point me to the correct spot and PLEASE PLEASE tell me how to search the sifttalk.. I don't want to ask my hubby, he has to help me with everything else related to computers anyway.. =)
EEEK, now I have to choose a CHANNEL to post this on too.. great.. OK, random channel, here we go.. or not.. I bet this ends up somewhere where it is not supposed to go..
