Top 15 Lists
Sorry if this has been asked and answered before but I searched and didn't find anything. How does the Top 15 work? It looks to me like the Top 15 is based on how many votes a video gets during it's first 4 days on the sift. The other day I noticed I had 3 videos in the Top 15. When 2 of them dropped off I assumed it was because one was older then 4 days and the other got out voted. But I just went and looked at that one and it has 51 votes (3 days old) which should rank it at about 10 on the list. Is this an error or am I just not understanding how the ranking works?

joedirtYes the sidebar top15 is goofy. You'll notice:
(not listed) -- 67 votes

But the special report one already hit the top15 a few days prior. So there is some time on top15 timelimit depending on when it is first listed top15. Not sure, I used to think it was like the TopSifts page but sorted by 4 days, instead of 24 hrs or one week.
But I know the time displayed on Top15 depends on when it first hits the top15. Not a strict sort by "videos less than 4 days old"
GrimmI'm sure there is a logic to it but I'm just not seeing it so far. I'm not so sure it's based on the time it is on the list either. I had one make the list and 12 hours later another made the list. Then about a day later the newer one dropped and the older one remained for another couple of days.
