Who'd I Piss Off This Time?
Okay, maybe I didn't piss anyone off--or, more realistically--my pissing people off has nothing to do with this. Maybe I just need a little remedial education on the-ways-of-the-sift.
I recently had this video sifted after self-promoting it.
http://videosift.com/video/Becoming-an-Alcoholic
Okay, no problem so far. After being sifted it showed up in the recently promoted box for a while. Then I came back after about 1/2 hour and it wasn't in the promoted box. Okay, I'll just page through the Recent Sifts to see how far back it is.

After 16 pages--in which I found videos that are over a year old--I still never found mine.
Now I understand that these other videos were probably promoted again into the queue. And don't get me wrong, my post is in no way ground shattering, or really important in any way. I'll freely admit that the 16 pages of sifts (some of which had as few as 3 votes) may have some criteria which makes them more prominent. I'm just curious as to the algorithm used to determine how far back in the queue a Recently Sifted video goes.
And if the reason for this is that I pissed siftbot off--well, Fuck It. </sarcasm>

Boise_LibMust be rockn' and rollin' in the Sift Lounge tonight.
BoneRemakeOr no one wants to help you.
or acknowledge your plea
maybe a personal message to lucky760 would be more fruitful?
dystopianfuturetodayI acknowledge your plea, but I am unable to help.
BoneRemakeYou ever get the feeling no one is listening ? even though 81 people have viewed your post ?
dagComment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
on behalf of all Videosift, I apologize. To be honest, I don't know what the issue is either. We did have an outage last night and I'd like to say it was related to that. Please let us know if it happens again.
NorsuelefanttiAn outage would probably explain me losing 3 powerpoints during the night as well...
LawdeedawI lost my penis last night... But @Boise_Lib, I voted it up so that's helping!
gwiz665It's a Hulu video, thus the world hates it.
blankfistDownvoted for you. All is right in the world again.

Gee, Thanks.
So, you dislike the Simpsons--or, you think everything I do should be erased from the history of the world. I'm not sure what I ever did to you--except maybe disagree with you. I see that would never misuse your power.Liberty and Justice for All.

I apologize--I must just be having a bad day. So, what did you mean? Downvoted for you--means what? (check my edit of the original
blankfistSigh.

Means it was a joke Boise_Lib...see, now we are fucked! We have come to rely to heavily on the "sarcasm" button and don't know sarcasm any other way!

Ahh, we're not completely fucked, yet.
No excuse, but a partial explanation--I'd just got off the phone with my girlfriend. I didn't get it.
Now--what I should have done in the first place without additions.
