*ReclaimVote and Unrecommend Tools Added

Just added to your Recommended listing is a new "unrecommend" link in the video sidebar. Clicking it will remove the video from your recommendations and prevent it from ever being recommended to you again (eliminating the need for you to cast an up or down vote).

Also added to all videos is a new "*reclaimvote" link. Clicking it will cause siftbot to transfer one of his placeholder votes (after the 3/11 Siftpocalypse) to you. The result will be exactly the same as if you were to comment with the *reclaimvote invocation.

Please let us know if you experience any problems with either of these two new features.

Thanks! Does clicking the unrecommend link affect how other videos are selected for recommendation? Also, I don't know if you saw my comment in the poll that the recommended list is showing dead, discarded and killed videos, which doesn't make much sense.

[edit] Does it have to ask for confirmation for every unrecommend? Can I turn that off?

tbh, i don't like the reclaimvote link on every single video. it has a limited use i don't know why it should be displayed so prominently. it's even on all videos that haven't got any votes to reclaim...it's distracting.

@fford: No, removing a recommended video does not affect other recommendations. I removed the confirmation, since you're right, it's annoying and not really necessary since recommended videos should be a fleeting thing anyway. Good point about dead/discarded/killed videos. From now on anytime a video becomes one of those, it will be removed from all recommended listings.

@p4d: Yes, that's also a good point. I've removed the link from listings (except the Recommended listing), but left it on the full video detail page. It should just be available somewhere to make it easier on folks than typing out the invocation.

It's still asking me for confirmation and I still see killed and dead videos in the list.

Killed/dead/discarded videos that were already recommended before I made the change will not return after you remove them.

Do a hard reload (hold ctrl+shift while you reload) to make sure you have the newest scripts so it won't prompt you for unrecommend confirmation.
