VideoSift 3.3 Roundtable (Sift Talk Post)

What about upgrading some of the invocations into buttons and icons? For example, once a video has expired in the queue, it could get a Beg button, and carry a Beg icon next to it while it's in Beggar's Canyon -- rather than have a *bėg comment followed by a Siftbot comment for every invocation.

Same for sticky, promote, quality, nochannel.... Each button would appear only when it is a valid option, and the matching icon would be displayed only while in effect.

That would do a lot to clean up the comments.

VideoSift 3.3 Roundtable (Sift Talk Post)

There are a few improvements I can see in the video submission process to improve usability:

auto-upvote for original submitter
account preferences to auto-select Status and Comment Emails on submission page
auto-selection of channels based on keywords (relevant keyword lists provided by channel owners in channel management pages?)
more videos on the Possible Duplicates page (we still get a lot of dupes).

VideoSift 3.3 Roundtable (Sift Talk Post)

^ Ah, thanks MGR -- that will definitely improve my life!

Yeah, I know, you'd think I would have figured it out for myself after 2 years here, but I never said I was smart...

VideoSift 3.3 Roundtable (Sift Talk Post)

I definitely think the Top 15 needs to turn over a little more quickly. I suggest videos stay eligible for 2 days from time published, rather than 4 days from time queued. That will also level the playing field for vids that got unlucky in the queue.
I also strongly agree that the site could use a graphical refresh. Unfortunately I'm way too swamped ATM to do any mockups, but here are a few links for design inspiration:

Oh, and I'd love to have the ability to block a channel. Politics, I'm looking at you.

How to create a $1,000,000,000,000 industry!

If I'm not mistaken, he's talking about a trillion dollar industry. That's $1,000,000,000,000 -- unless you're British.
