I know a lot of you hate this, because you think it fuxors the "quality" of this place, but the fact that you can purchase power points, in my opinion, will prove your "quality" was already influenced by something outside of personal perspective of quality.
Anyhow, for those of you who want to participate, you must upvote everything in everyone's unsifted queue. Piece of cake. Those of you with me, we'll be doing this Nov. 24. 2008 after midnight Pacific Standard Time. That's this Monday.
Those of you interested, I'd love to see you list your name below!

Let me look up the meaning of 'sift'
.....
Turns out the meaning is the complete opposite of what you're trying to do, so no thanks.
I'm not trying to argue or oppose but I rather have a let's all "sift everyone's PQ day" instead of this "lets upvote a bunch of stuff we have not even watched yet day". Seems more honest.
If any of you ever go to my PQ, on any day, please dont vote it without at least partially watching to see what it is about. Thanks.
Since there is a list requested here for participating members; then if there is ever a list of people who dont want their PQ to be involved in the Upvote Everything day, please include me on it.
Can I call you gwankfist?
Now I know how Sarzy feels.
(And I only vote for awesome things, so if everything is awesome, I'll upvote it.
Edit: Nevermind. HAHAHA! Banned.
I am requesting a siftquisition for anyone who takes part in such behavior as blanket upvoting other submissions, especially in a reciprocal nature. If you were to do exactly this but with downvoting, you would be banned, so why is this different?
If you need to force the issue I will downvote video-for-video anything that blankfist of DFT upvotes, and when I get banned, those users must be banned for the same reason. If you care to say you actually enjoyed all those videos, I will also state that I did not enjoy the videos. Technically I am doing a public service and returning the videos to the correct 10 vote escape limit. (I'm surprise lucky has not implemented a 5 downvote per hour limit or something yet)
"If down voting or any other member privilege is intentionally misused, the offending member will be temporarily banned for no less than 2 weeks. A second offense will result in a permanent ban"
I see intention without a justifiable reason, and upvoting counts as a member privilege.
This 'event' makes no sense at all and has no justification whatsoever.
This "you must upvote everything in everyone's unsifted queue"
clearly contradicts
Abuse Guidelines ¶
1. Video votes must be cast only for the content and nothing else; the video must be viewed before voting
Don't be inconsistent and self contradicting. If this was about downvoting, many will be calling for a ban.
Why has this not been thrown out yet? It's one thing for spontaneous mass upvoting, but this is a blatant advertisement to violate the site policies? Why is this not discarded and the conspirators chided and reminded not to screw up the sifting and voting policies which essentially are the engine that keep the front page with regular content?
Are you promoting mass rebellion by members to form voting cliques? And also remove the ten vote threshold by mass voting all videos until the frontpage is swamped again?

faggots

Hey faggots, you are clearly violating many of the rules that have caused people to be banned.

Hopefully this would be stuff you weren't going to upvote anyway, otherwise that would be wasted. Wasted like the quality of the sift.
>> ^blankfist:
Any other takers? No one cares about the chest-pounding, so save that for the CP420 Siftquisition page, please. Now, who else is with us? We know a lot of people enjoy this, because I always get secret PMs from people wanting me to upvote their queue.
Just because people enjoy something does not justify it nor makes it an exception to the guidelines in place.
Just because you think powerpoints are enough of a counterpoint to the issue of quality, does not make what you are trying to do valid.
For the third time, how is this not against the purpose of this site which happens to be called VideoSift?
Shall we break it down?
video
sift
Sift means to make an examination and careful arrangement/organization
Therefore Videosift means to carefully sort the content of this website which happens to be videos.
"must upvote everything" is the complete opposite.
Stop acting like the legitimacy of this event has reached a consensus. Before you keep saying "who else is with me?" make a valid case.
^another chest-pounder. I think the Sift has heard you loud and clear, and everyone is impressed with your cock size. Bravo. But, this is a thread for people who want to help.
Another attempt at red herring. How long until the non related premises stop and a direct address to the opinions differing from yours is made?
You say this is for people who wish to help, that's nice but it will be better if they helped correctly.
Upvoting everything makes the point of this place void, so in the end you help no one.
Like I said, a more honest, less messy way to help would be to SIFT everyone's PQ not just go on an upvote rampage so that at the end of the day the front page is full with a ton of content that you have not even made the effort to watch.
Feel free to call this chest pounding, but after that, care to give a proper response.
The chest thumping is cluttering the room. Let's try this again.
In case nobody has noticed, only sheeple-ish clips ever make it to the top 15 anyway, ever. The good stuff, if it sifts, languishes at 10-15 votes. Where is this superb quality sift that the defenders so vehemently fight for? In their dreams, I tell you. It's a nice thought, but in the end this is a community, not a place where everybody is focused on the Crème de la Crème.
