The Power of the Down Vote

After a bit of code wrangling, we've added the down vote to VideoSift. This feature is available to all registered members with a bronze star (10 published videos) or higher. The down vote, along with giving us another way to express our opinions, will also help with our housekeeping. Videos that have a -2 rating or less will be automatically deleted by SiftBot a few times a day. We've added details in the FAQ on this - enjoy. Leave a comment here if you have any technical or philosophical problems with this feature.


But wait there's more.


We have so many changes, we've divided it up into a few days. Stay tuned for the next exciting feature change.

I don't know...does this mean we actually lose votes we've tried so hard to accumulate? Doesn't seem fair. I mean, if you don't like a video, just don't vote for it.
If you want housekeeping help, either set shorter time in the queue, or require more votes for promotion.
Just my .02

Well, so far at least, I don't think the down vote has been abused. And by only allowing bronze star and above members to down vote, We're preventing just random down voting. I suggest we see how it plays out over the next couple of weeks. I hope it will be a tool for the good.
