Yeah, I've let several videos slide for the 3 day duration it hangs on the front page, just so it could get more views, before dupeing them afterwards.

I've also been rather miffed before when one of my own awesome sifts make it big, but is then dupeoffed to a video with a shitty title and shitty tags languishing in some PQ with 3 votes. Here you go, crappy sifter, take my wife, please.

Perhaps we could make some sort of grace period, before a video is dupeoffed, depending on how old the original is - say, a day per year? And if the newer amasses many more votes in that time, it will dupeof the other way, to the newer more successful sift. If you sift something again rapidly after a dupe, it could be dupeoffed immediately, but if you post a dupe of a 3 year old video, then 3 days would have to pass before a dupeof would take effect.

I think this would encourage people to sift old gems again, to make them do better. The more I think about it, the more I like that idea.

It would obviously take some tweaking, since active members might get pissed at losing some of their old sifts, but I hate to have a good video dupeoffed to a user that has left videosift long ago, since it makes "herding" that sift much harder. On the other hand, competition is a good thing, I guess.

Thanks ~! Something told me I may have seen it here, but as you guessed it, without proper tags and a description its pretty well useless to search for them. I let the offender know of the shitty tags

hey now, that was a little to far with the tag fear mongering. edited to add that was some poor fear mongering for the shitty tags you provided that I had done.

the tags, even after much after involvment display that nothing was done.


you sir, have absolutely SHITTY , absolutely horrendous tags, what the hell do you think those tags you provided are going to do. Christ those are shitty tags. get a'hold of yourself.

shitty tags...tag

*quality.

I'm completely OCD about tags. (No surprise to most of you.) Bad tags not only lead to difficult searches, but they make siftbot's dupe detection damn near impossible when you're submitting a video. Also, it's hard to fix a dead video when you use a vague title and shitty tags.

Use the maximum space allowed for tags, and don't separate every word with a comma. Shit like: pink, floyd, dark, side, of, the, moon, us, and, them isn't helpful at all, unless you really want to do a tag search for of, and or the. Just do pink floyd, dark side of the moon, us and them. For ALL your videos. If it ain't got Pink Floyd, then it ain't shit.





Oh alright, Weekend At Bernie's is also acceptable.

Thanks, guess it had shitty tags because it didn't detect the dupe!

You're right. Shitty tagging is the bane of this place. Oh well, we still got it discarded before it accumulated a ton of votes. Discarding it then would have been a little more painful.

Thank You Dear I appreciate I guess People Should Learn How to make appropriate tags like it was suppose to be the word Japanese in there oh well Thanks

Sorry Ms. Death, but this:

is a dupe of this:

Sorry. I'll let you discard it.

If it's been posted already then it's news to me, MarineGun. I searched using the terms "cyber", "cyber sex", "cybersex", "webcam", "web cam", "instant message", and "instant messaging", and found no dupes. If there is one it's probably another example of shitty tagging, but in any event I know I did my best to avoid duplication because I also thought that surely this would have been sifted by now. Still, every once in a while a gem like this just gets overlooked by everyone. I hope that's the case, because I'd hate to lose my fastest rising sift to date.

Fucking vandals. This is wrong! public transportation belongs to everyone, and not some stupid kids, who see everything as a stupid canvas to spray some shitty tags on.
