I noticed that I have a video expiring soon and its not coming up on the "top 15 queued sift videos expiring soon" list.
The video has 7 votes. Shouldnt it automatically be added to the list if it has more votes and expiring sooner than other videos on the list. If it doesnt work on votes than maybe the title of the list shouldnt be "Top 15".

It is but why are there videos on the list with 6 votes while videos with 7 votes arent?
To reiterate, anything older than 4 days (even by a matter of minutes) is not included in the listing because it has exceeded the queue lifetime, but just has not yet actually been discarded by siftbot. If a video was posted more than 4 days ago, but is still in the queue, you can expect siftbot to sweep it into the dust pan at any given moment.

Ok, so that has 8 votes, and should be listed second... BUT if you check it was saved. So the original date in queue is weeks not days. So, it looks like all of the videos FROM 3 days old to 4 (or 5?) days old (original submission date) are listed in top15 and sorted by votes.
Oh yeah....
I'm half-tempted to suggest a decree that future self-congratulatory announcements (for items that deal with anything less than a gold-ishing) be discarded as posts (with the key fact being that these be self-congratularoy announcements: if a second party wishes to congratulate a notable bronze/silver, we won't tramp down against that).
We would, of course, keep the existing post up with a warning to others that it's only being kept as a notice to others not to use it as a precdent but rather as a standing warning of what "not to do".
That was kind of a long rant - make sense, though?
For the record, whenever I feel like I'm pontificating, I'll try and remember to end with up my little "/kulak" pulpit, as seen in the other comment.
i was thinking the same, but avoid saying such at times to avoid the 'bitch' label!!! EGADS! *covers mouth*
Right?
