"..attempting to access a page from which you are forbidden"
This is the msg delivered when I click "Start a Poll"
403 -
You are attempting to access a page from which you are forbidden. If you think there is an error on VideoSift - please let us know. Otherwise, use the navigation menu above to figure out where to go from here.
I'm nobody special here. I get that maybe I'm not allowed to start a poll. But why present the option for me to start a poll and then provide no explanation as to why I can't do it?
If it responded with "Sorry, you need 50 power points before you can start a poll" with a link to the starpower faq etc. Anything to explain why I can't do something and what I need to do in order to do it.
I just think this is the kind of stuff that alienates new people.

Boise_LibYou are just as special as anyone else here.
Star Points are just a number.
Let me know what poll you would like and I'd be happy to start it for you.

Oh, BR. You so funny.
kymbosI'm speechless.
dagComment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
In all seriousness, this is a technical server message - and could indicate a bug in our system. @lucky760 will know.
speechless says...I'm not complaining that I can't start a poll. I'm just saying, I think the messaging is off on the site. Instead of a generic "403 FORBIDDEN" maybe we can direct people to where they can get actual relevant information regarding what they are trying to do.
lucky760Thanks for bringing this to our attention. The link really should just not be present if you are not a Silver Star member.
This has been corrected.

Thanks. I've made you Silver Star member for bringing this to our attention...
This has been corrected.
Fixed that for you
Boise_LibI (for one) understood that you weren't complaining about not being able to start a poll.
But, now I'm dying of curiosity. What did you want to poll?!?!
kymbos"Should non-Silver Star members be able to start polls?"

Let me start a poll about that. Oh wait

Some nonsense about the origin of the universe. This was a few drinks ago. Seemed like a good idea at the time.
MrFiskAbout the time you get a music video sifted is about the time you may start a poll.
