bareboards2says...As much as I agree with you, our Fearless Leader changed the definition of a dupe and codified it in writing. Emphasis added.
"If a newer submission's video is a clip of content found within an existing post, it will be considered a duplicate unless it meets both these criteria:
The original post is at least 15 minutes in length
The original post is at least 3 times longer than the clip
If a duplicate cannot adequately be considered an exact or reasonable replacement of the original, it should be *discarded."
That last line is to prevent bad back-up embeds.
So this dupe process can't continue without screwing up the backup embed, and so it falls to dft to discard it.
For the record, I think this stinks. We had a Sift Talk with overwhelming support that a dupe is an exact duplicate. This was over-ridden by the Power That Is (Lucky on his own) when someone ignored that Sift Talk vote and called dupe on something that clearly wasn't a dupe.
I understand why Lucky did it, I think -- I think he did it because he was sick to death of all the squabbling over the definition of a dupe, so he just laid down the law.
So, dft, you "have" to discard this video. Or -- start a Sift Talk about it. Or pull this vid into discuss. Which is pretty ironic, given that Lucky wrote those rules just so he wouldn't have to listen to us squabble anymore.
As if the Sift could exist without squabbling.....
