Same day posting from a youtube account. Very low view count. Pretty suspicious.

This video is being sent to Sift Talk for discussion - discuss requested by theaceofclubz.

They've been a member here for a month and have posted non spam comments, so I think they deserve a right of reply before bannination.

Way too coincidental, the Youtube video was uploaded 9 hours ago, then posted to VideoSift 8 hours 58 minutes ago (at the time of this post).

*ban ban ban ban.... Oh wait I mean spam spam spam spam...

Hey guys, that's pretty fucking harsh if you ask me. Now before you jump down my throat telling me he should've read the FAQs before posting, let me say this. I love this site, but it's got some pretty unconventional rules. Some rules that, you might say, aren't all that obvious like the self-linking rule. Therefore, if you want the community to grow in quality as well as in quantity, you need to nurture it instead of swinging your banhammers round and round at the slightest provocation.

onestem is a friend of mine that I introduced to videosift. He lurked, much like myself, until he saw a video that he felt so compelled to comment on that he registered here. He enjoyed the (mostly) mature and thoughtful discussions, and although not as rabid in his usage of the sift, he still used the site and enjoyed it. When he posted this video, he emailed me to let me know so I could view it, which I did. When I saw that he had self-linked, I sent him back an email letting him know that this was against the site's rules and that he might catch some flak for it. This happened right before he went to work, so he didn't get the email until he came back. When he also noticed that he had been banned.

It really pisses me off when people say, "let's look at the facts" and they look at the length of membership at a site and the duration between posts as if those are the facts of the matter. I'm sure think that I'm only acting like this because he's my friend, and if it was anyone else, I wouldn't care. Well, you're damn right!

Even if the rules are unconventional, the self-link rule is plainly visible on the "submit a video" page when you're a P.

He's welcome to ask Dag or Lucky to reinstate his account, which they will do. If this was not a self-link, which the evidence indicates, then he can even try to submit the video again.

Well blutruth, If he ad been around for as long as you suggest, then he should have known. Also, you can't ignore the giant warning.

ALSO, why would you email him about his self linking, when as a silver star, you could have * discussed the video your self and stood up for him to begin with?


Just wondering.

I just recently got my silver star, so I wasn't aware of my newfound powers. Sorry to all for sounding a little irate, but I felt like it was an injustice and therefore felt the need to stand up and complain about it.

I forgot about the giant warning; it's been some time since my P was dropped and my memory is regrettably poor.

I'm gonna go ahead and *discard this now. Justice have been served.
