swampgirlsays...Could this be a pet? Maybe caring for a zoo baby? I'm going to take a liberty here and *catsanddogs
siftbotsays...Adding video to channels (Catsanddogs) - requested by swampgirl.
maatcsays...wow, a downvote? how can anyone not like this?
or is this a vote against cute animal clips in general?
swampgirlsays...Wow, Jonny must be new.. doesn't he realize he risks his eternal soul? Downvoting cute animals is The Unpardonable Sin! (queue dramatic music)
jonnysays...It's a kangaroo - hopping. How is that cute? A talking dog - now that's cute. A flying cat - very cool. A jaguar taking out a python - awesome. But a kangaroo hopping down a hallway? Boring. Seriously, there are infinitely many better animal vids out there. This is a funny kangaroo.
Fletchsays...He wasn't here for any of the downvoting discussions in ST. No clue of what is considered courteous. Even ant will usually wait for a vid to get published before a downvote. Especially one like this, that has nothing offensive whatsoever in it. Boring? Hit stop, no-vote, and move onto one you find more exciting. But, whatever. You can downvote anything you want. Some people just choose to use it more judiciously.
I thought it was cute.
stumblingjonsays...You have a wild animal in your house. I hope the cute bastard boxes you so you understand...
jonnysays...Fletch - I do have some clue about etiquette here. I did provide a reason when asked after all. But I appreciate the hint to go read the down vote discussions. I'm doing it now. There's quite a bit of it, so before I forget, and at the risk of writing with limited knowledge, I do want to say one thing. Waiting for a video to make it out of the queue before down voting, to me, seems ruder than not waiting. By voting down while a video is in the queue, one has a chance to affect the post. Afterwards, it seems, it's not much more than a "your taste sucks." Just my $.02 - I'll go finish my history lesson now.
[edit]
Ah, so a video can be discarded by down votes even after publication. That changes my feelings about down voting after publication being more rude. But I still think it makes more sense not to wait - if the point of a down vote is to express the opinion that one really doesn't want a video on the sift. I do try to be very judicious with down votes.
One last point - SG had no such qualms about down voting my video while it was in the queue, and it didn't seem to bother you then, Fletch. In fact, nearly all of the down votes I received on my submissions were while they were in the queue.
Chaucersays...i bet that thing drops some big turds. I hope it's house trained.
btw, it looks more like a wallaby.
antsays...*nature
siftbotsays...Adding video to channels (Nature) - requested by ant.
Fletchsays...@jonny - I replied in your profile. Didn't want to hijack or get too OT here.
