Hi Lucky,

Possibly doublepromote may not be as fixed as first thought? You re-inserted it back under bronze privileges but @billpayer as a silver star was not able to invoke it (as per link below)

Howdy

Had a question that I wanted to ask before, that I never got round to before I dinged silver, but still could potentially confuse new and/or bronze people.

On this page, just below the new badges, in the "Other Changes" section, 3rd bullet point, Dag mentions that now Bronze Stars can submit videos from any source. However on this page, under Silver Star Member, it says can submit flash video from any source.

My query therefore is, is it Bronze or Silver that grants you this privilege?

Congrats on the shiny silver star

I also think this could be good and will vote at silver star with the caveat...
I'm also not sure about what kind of abuse @lucky760 is worried about. If it's embedded malware of some kind that could infect the sift or sifters, I might change that to no, since we have had some high ranked members try to trash the sift on their way out.
If it's just about possible inappropriate pictures, hobble/ban should take care of that quickly, but the guidelines should be quite clear what's OK and what's not, and exactly where the line is.

Yeah, I think this would be good too. I voted silver star, but I could accept gold as well.

I don't really think it'd be too much of a problem.

Congrats on gettin' that silver star

oh and ... belated congratulations on the Silver Star CrushBug! I'm chagrined to have missed this grand event. A memorable milestone indeed

According to this it's a silver star privilege. "May submit Flash videos from any video source"
