Somedays you just can't get rid of a bomb!

While I'm sure you're right about this being a portion, have we not in the past decided that taking a smaller portion of an already posted video is still a dupe. Other wise, I can just be re-posting every video on the sift, but taking 30 seconds off the end of each one - still the same video and adds nothing to it.
Thoughts?

Would not consider this a dupe as the scene you link to was originally 3:31 seconds. http://imgur.com/a/v21vR This may be a bit of it, but not enough to consider a dupe.
@lucky760 can you verify not a dupe based on length and if not a dupe remove invocation before someone isdupes it.

This is far from taking 30 sec off a much longer clip. Its taking 3:00 off a 3:30 clip(85%ish less). There is a sift talk post about it somewhere. I think there was some ratio that came out of it. thought it was 3 to 1. Replacing a 3:31 video with a 27 sec partial clip imo is far from enough to be considered the same video. There are plenty of lectures and tons of random vids where long videos have had small segments resifted. Anyway i guess best to let lucky be the decider.

I've updated the Posting Guidelines to reflect that this kind of thing likely shouldn't be considered a dupe, as it is 1/6 the length of the original post and concentrates on one very specific bit. People could use this stipulation to post every 30-second chunk of the original video, but it's unlikely such posts would ever get published anyway.

Thoughts?

If anyone vehemently disagrees, I propose we take it to the court of a Sift Talk poll.
