Introducing SiftCrack
Everyone whoever got up to the Bronze star knows that the SiftCrack is the want to gain stars, TOP15 videos and so on. The Web 2.0 equivalent of leveling up in World Of Warcraft.
I think this can be extended further by introducing SiftCrack, a recursive element that pushes Sifter participation by statistical comparison taking the gameplay element of sifting to another level by encoruaging participation.
Think along the lines of Siftbot becoming a full avatar and pushing the meatbags to perform better. Like he would be a lil' icon on the side that would post statistical messages based on your last post performance.
"Your puny video fared better then your last miserable attempt"
"Your video broke Top 15 and has the 2nd highest votes of all time!"
"Your comment got upvoted by 6 meatbags who should really get out more!"
Anyone who played Teamfortress 2 and seen the nudging that the game gives via statistics would instantly know what am talking about.

There could be something to this
hilarious. I want Siftbot to chew us out after we've been gone for over a week.
It really is SiftCrack. It's almost clinical. I need to detox.
Great idea. I've talked about how we should have awards for videos that make the top15, #1 in top15, get sifted in some 5h time etc., but this is taking it many steps further. I love the idea and I want it implemented. Can we make this a Sift Talk post? I'll be the first one to * quality it.
Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
That's actually a pretty cool idea. I would like to provide more stats and that would be a neat way to deliver them.
I'd kind of like to see my stats for all channels, not just the top 10.
Will I have to grind for titles?
*schoolgirl giggle*
I need to level up! I need to level up!
Can we have stats to pour points into?!
