What the hell!
Ok how come there wasn't any warning about cutting the queue time in half?! All my queue got discarded and I didn't even have a chance to put in a requeue! That's messed up. I had two vids that need more of a chance then that.

gorgonheap2 days is a little too dramatic don't you think. I knew you were making changes but I must have missed the part where you were cutting the queue time by 50% and doing so in less then a day. I thought that 3 days was the consensus last time I checked.

Give it some time before you scoff at it. Things could be looking up 'round here.

"I guess the best solution is for we admins to change the status back to queued at your request"

"We didn't at all intend to discard everyone's posts to clean out the queue. I take full blame for the oversight. Just as I realized it was going to happen and hurriedly tried to auto-requeue everyone's queued videos SiftBot did his automatic clean-up thing. I fixed the two videos you linked and if you have any others we can fix those as well."
In short, just inform us via PM or joedirt's ST post. Again, it was my fault and I apologize. We didn't intend for everyone's vids to get discarded. Just let us know which of yours were nuked and we'll reinstate them.
Oh, and most people agreed with two days (including we lowly admins).
CaptWillardActually I thought that 3 days was the consensus too, lucky. Sure, even I stated that 2 days MIGHT work, but I also stated that we should try 3 days first just to see how that worked out. Still, I'm willing to give this a try, but I wish we had gone to 3 days first. *Quality post, because this issue should definitely be revisited in 2 to 4 weeks. Maybe this new queue period will make a believer out of me by then, but I think it should be put to a vote in 2 to 4 weeks tops.

lucky760Really? Quality?
Maybe we need a *notquality invocation. Such special stars are supposed to be reserved for high quality contributions to the Sift, not just random, meaningless rants.
I'm just going to go ahead and *discard this. No offense, gh.
