Even though it doesn't mean anything. I kind of like voting for my own videos for some reason. I wouldn't be opposed to the change though.

I agree with your other points too. People wouldn't probably try too hard for those few extra clicks. That's as far as I'd want to go though. I would always like the ability to sift through another user's PQ. Maybe we could just hide the submitter's name until the video is off of the unsifted page, THEN it appears in their PQ.

It doesn't have to be that way, though.

Just removing the name of the submitter on the "unsifted" tag should be enough to do away with most of the buddy-voting going on, as I'm fairly certain people won't go through the trouble of looking up their buddies profile every time they log onto Videosift. It doesn't have to be impossible to figure out who posted what video though, as people on the net are generally too lazy to ever go through with any kind of work they don't absolutely have to. Clicking around two-three pages extra would, I'm sure we both could probably agree on, fall under the "won't bother" category.
But even if we'd want it taken to the extreme, then it wouldn't be hard to hide the "unsifted videos" and/or PQ links on ones personal page to everyone but the user. I just feel like there are better things to focus on than just arbitrarily raise the vote limit, and as such file off the fringe stuff in favour of the bland mainstream, like cat fart videos and slapstick. Hope you find this reasoning decent enough and not off-putting, as it's formed with the best of intentions. Oh, and also; Kronos' idea of removing the self-vote is something I found to be a great suggestion. What did you think of it?

I was completely for this idea when I first saw it but I just realized that it would require getting rid of personal queues. Doh!

Or we could hide the submitter's name until the video has been sifted, since I'm betting there's alot of buddy-voting going on. If that's indeed the case, then it'd be much more of detriment to the quality control idea.

This fucking sucks. I don't think I've ever ridiculed you and I really think you're an important presence here. I don't always get to see everyone's vids as I get about 45 mins during my lunch break for ALL of my time on videosift but I always look forward to seeing what you have.

I really respect what you've given us and I'm upset to see you go.

Good luck
