What? and cut into our sifting time? Are you crazy? I realize that this not spam - but this does seem kind of suspect and has nothing to do with videosift. I'm going for a summary admin *discard.
Wow, there were real sparks there. You could tell that she really took personal offense - and to be fair he did have some valid points about raising the level of discourse all around.
Maddow is so in the tank for the Dems that it does almost seem like propaganda. And she can be very sarcastic and flippant - which I enjoy - but I can see how it would enrage people on the right.
I thought a lot of those were decent submissions. Look- they are your posts and we would never prevent you from removing them, but for ones that have conversations in them it's just a good idea to be cognizant of the fact that you are killing them too.
I may have been a bit harsh in my email - because I've seen a few sprees over the years- but the crux of it is that once you put something out there it effects other people as well - hate to sound preachy - but our actions on here don't exist in a vacuum. Having said that, if you really think the submissions are shit - kill away. The community is made up of a glomming together of subjective opinions.
In reply to this comment by Bakalex: There were many submissions of my own that doesn't deserve to be in the sift. First of all, all the one in my personal queue (in a month, none of them come out, and, to be honest, they were all crap).
In other hand, many of my submission barely reach the sift. It's more like a pollution than a contribution. It's not because I like some kind of music that it deserve to be referenced by videosift. The first aim of this site, as i've understood when you created it years ago, is to find videos that are worth to be seen, as there's a lot of junk on the internet. But what i've been doing since i'm a member is just to post stuff I like. Subjectivity replaces my objectivity.
To sum up, this "kill spree" is more a clean-up i've always wanted to do about my own submission.
The reason I say it's a bit harsh is because I didn't want to ban Choggie.
If it was just a thread throwing dumb insults at me that wouldn't have resulted in a ban. But if you read the thread, Choggie was determined to do whatever it took to make me ban him, discards of member posts, down-voting of queues. Maybe he was looking for martyrdom- but I took no pleasure in the ban even if I think the actions he took are pretty self-centred and childish.
In reply to this comment by Constitutional_Patriot: I'm sorry.. I'll retract some, you're right.. I never did specifically report it when they occurred. I guess I was just moody because Chog left.. some of his comments are very interesting.. like reading a cross between Poe and Shakespear sometimes lol.

Semi-coherant insults will not get you banned. Down voting someone's queue however is a dick move. Your wish is granted Choggie.
As interesting as this has been- the admin headache is not worth it anymore.
O Rly?!? Par and qualm have done that to me on several occasions but I doubt you really give a shit Dag.
Farewell Chogster.
