Give it to me, I'll post it on my account

see: http://www.videosift.com/talk/Speaking-of-the-deadpool

But feel free to discuss some more.

Ok, so sort of a gray area, but it seems that people mostly agreed it's okay to upload videos to fix a dead one (but probably not if it's your sift). Thanks for finding that, twiddles!

I would be weary of doing it on your own sift, but on someone elses go right ahead. Get someone else to upload it to youtube on your own sifts.

Maybe it's time to start a new Videosift Youtube group for sharing posts. I tried to join the old one, but it seems to have stagnated. Any takers?

I say fix it. Your not going to get another star point for fixing your own dead video. You already got one for sifting it. I don't see anything wrong with uploading to fix it, but be sure to note in the video description or comments that you did so, in case anyone tries to peg you for self linking in the future.

What arse said. (hehe, see what I did there?)

^Hell no. There are more than enough sifters her willing to post the video to their account that you need not cross into risky territory by hosting your own video.

As far as hosting a video to fix someone else's video - go ahead.

weary ≠ wary

/grammarnazi

it's all rather silly if you think about it.

"You can't upload and fix your own dead link! Oh..your gonna give it to your buddy to upload for you? No problem!"

I'm with Grimm on this, as long as you have friends here then you can get around any and all self linking issues... "Oooh, I want my youtube vid to be on the sift... I'll just ask my friend to post it... bingo, done."

It's not really anything that can be policed, but it's a real case of abiding by the letter, not the spirit of the law.

Oh, and calvados, if you're going to be a grammar nazi, how can you let go the your's that should have been you're's (yes, I know you can't do two apostrophes like that, sue me)? ('Your not going to get another star point...' and 'Oh.. your gonna give it to your buddy to upload for you? '

Ha, my blood pressure rises every time I see people use "your" when they mean "you are" or "their" (or god forbid "there") when they mean "they are". I wish I could remove the part of my brain that recognizes the difference, because I feel language as I know it is doomed.

Yeah, twiddles, it's about the worst of the lot for me, well, maybe on par with their/there/they're

Plus I feel like beating anyone who uses lol over the head... but that's just me :-/

Yeah - I paused when I saw Arsenault misuse 'your/you're' and I was actually thinking of posting something (likely sarcastic) about it. Boy am I glad I saw twiddles post (and spoco's concurrence). Instead I have to saw something sarcastic about how maybe we should form our own support group to try and get our own channel to pin any topic that has it misused in the comments.

That and how the word "definitely" keeps getting misspelt.

I'm finished. Done.
