Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

here's an example of how this feature works in action:

Also - that's a rediculously bad avatar for SiftBot. Anyone have (or can create) a better one?

I for one vote for Crow T. Robot of MST3k

I second that motion.

I like the existing sifbot avatar. <shrug>

Cool new feature/duty.

BTW, if any gold stars would like to exercise their new ability, this video is no longer available: http://www.videosift.com/story.php?id=4421

Will the SiftBot notify the poster of the discard?

There should be some way of letting someone know why a post just disappeared.

We may have to write that in dotdude. For the short-term, you can see it in the discard box on the blog.

I've notcied that the links in this post are all mine. *sob*

Question: does the gold star member have to vote down to trigger the removal, or is the "*discard" sufficient? Does the siftbot periodically make a run, or should it be automatic?

I ask b/c this one is still up a while later: http://www.videosift.com/story.php?id=4580

Yeah, only the goldstar members can call for an instant discard using asteriskdiscard, (almost really did it.) Siftbot discards these once an hour.

I like it, but don't trust myself to use it...sometimes my tastes are a bit denigrating.

Otherwise, I'm glad to be back from a hectic few weeks of real life!
