X Greetings! You are not currently logged in, but please don't let that stop you from voting up any videos you like. :)
Not really much of an accomplishment, but I feel special anyway: I made it into the top 100 users (by votes). Sitting pretty right now at 99. And well on my way to 50 videos and a gold star so that I can get my own collective started. It's the small things in life.

i've read that many people who reach the top 20 end up "missing"...

66 days ago dag announced that there were 6,000 members.

http://www.videosift.com/talk/6000th-member

I count 219 stars at this point.

So, the top 100 is a rather active group.

There are some folks who've participated longer but maybe don't have as many videos published. Then of course dead videos have eaten away at sifters' totals.

So, you've got 19 to go before you're a goldie. 'Glad you're enthusiastic.

Is there a way to view sifters sorted by their total votes / by total videos?

I'm not sure I followed that, Deathcow.

Click on Top Users on the main page and you can sort how-ever you want using the different columns:

I don't understand the breakdown on that page on a couple of numbers. On our profile it has our rank and total votes, but it's not the same number thats on the top users page.

ehem...and I broke into the elite 15 this weekend. I'm SURE it won't last...but it's nice to say I was there a least a few days

I'm saying sort the sifters by "Quality"... a person with 10 published videos earning 1000 votes having a "quality" of 100, and a person with 10 published videos and 120 votes having a quality of 12... so ranking people by the average popularity of what they post... Ordering sifters by their average votes per published video.

I second what Deathcow said.

You guys know this has been brought up over and over again, right? Brian and James say they're working on it.

And as long as we're patting ourselves on the back here, I would have almost 36 votes per vid, not including queued and Sift Talk posts.

thanks for the congrats and the info about the top users page, had no idea it was there. just for the record, i'm at about 20 votes/video. not bad, not great.

Taking out Sift Talk posts and queued vids, you're actually at 23.74.

i don't agree with deathcow and farhad. having rank based only on the quality (votes/videos), would get fewer videos posted (you wouldn't post if you weren't sure it would get A LOT of votes), so fewer videos to watch for all sifters.

Moreover, there would be the very WRONG situation where a discarded video is better than a video who gets only 10 votes.

The votes/video value is nice, but definitly not as a primary ranking system.

It would also be very nice to have a (published videos/all videos posted) value (i.e. "Published ratio"). But this would bring a little problem: it would be bad to count videos discarded because they are dupes, in this value.
