*Save bugged?
Hey all,
Since I received my gold status yesterday, I wanted to give my new powers a shot (after I discovered the *ban at least worked
. So I decided to save a video I really like:
http://www.videosift.com/video/Miniuscule-Short-The-Mosquito
The video was posted 2 weeks ago, but got discarded due to lack of votes. Now, when I commented *save, Sifty notified me of my request, but the video was still discarded. Nothing happened and my *save period got reset to 4 days.
Any ideas on why this happens? Is it not possible to *save video's after they have been discarded for a certain amount of time? (which seems strange to me), or is the video already reposted, so it would produce a dupe in the queue?
To me it seems that if a *save fails, it should not reset the countdown.

dagComment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
Hmm, you're right - just tried and did the same thing - we'll look into it.
ravenyeah, same thing happened to one of my vids. I got an email today saying that one of them had been saved, but when I went to look at it, the * save comment was there, but then an hour later sifty discarded it for lack of votes. wtf?
It was this one: http://www.videosift.com/video/Elton-John-Ru-Paul-Drag-Queen-Goodness
Drag Queens everywhere demand justice!
lucky760Sorry about that. Making some changes to Siftbot's gray matter for the next big release and inadvertently broke something. It's fixed now and I moved your videos back into the queue.
LaekrothCheers lucky! However, it got discarded (twice in 1 hour) now:
Siftbot:
Discarding this video. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 4 days.
lucky760Oops. I didn't realize when I reset the status that the queue date wasn't updated. Now they're fixed. Sorry about that.
LaekrothThanks lucky! It's in the queue now
ravenThanks luckster!
