Save your rage for those that don't do anything for the site. I fixed a shitload of videos to gift points to other members who have been helping me here. They weren't used for my own personal gain. The comment I made to oritteropo was in jest. Though the added incentive of points or a badge is a brilliant idea. Take a peek through the top 15 sifters list and see how many necromancer badges there are. I've fixed more than many of them have.

Am I a dick? Maybe. But I needed to get that off of MY chest.

Take care bro.

It's only a rip off if everything you do on the sift (like fixing dead videos) has to be about you gaining something and not about just helping out to make the sift a better site. This type of attitude has infected the sift in the past year or two and why the sift is a mere shell of what it use to be.

Maybe I just don't like change.

Not trying to make it personal digitalpimp, or be a dick, but I felt the need to get that off my chest.

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

I think you are missing out on the necromancer badge. Though I think it's fair to award it if a video is deaded and you supplied the backup. We'll try and get this into an update.

I believe you are missing out on Necromancer badges if you provide a replacement embed before you use the *dead invocation, but I'm not really sure. I do the same thing as you, i.e., if I find a dead video but can easily find a replacement embed to fix it, then I do the *backup first then invoke *dead. But if it takes me more than a minute or so to find a replacement with Google video search, then I just tag it *dead. I don't want to break a sweat.

BTW, I think most folks here don't care about the shiny, including me. I even thought about doing a poll just to see if I'm right, but even a poll about this is not important to me. The only reason I have a Necromancer badge (as well as Super Duper, Thumb Nailer, and Time Keeper) is because I went off my meds for awhile and went completely OCD with fixing shit up here. So the fewer badges you have, the more psychologically healthy you are. I'm only half-joking.
