Radiohead Bluegrass - Chris Thile - Morning Bell

^:) I guess they both reacted positively, or? As an eclecticist;) I like it how boundaries between music genres are also transcended, to the displeasure of the genre purists.

Notify User Before *discuss If Bronze or Higher (Sift Talk Post)

Hear hear!
Good idea..
But how to enforce it?
Could we maybe make a non-binding VideoSift etiquette?

Downvoting regionally blocked videos (Sift Talk Post)

^Yes, there are some problems with invoking dead. We may need to make clear to those you invoke * undead should first check if the video is regionblocked..someone who invokes dead should add information about regionblocking+the specific region if (s)he's aware of it (one can check this by going to the original site where one will see a message "this video is not available in your country" (YouTube))
Isn't there a site where one can check if a site is available in other countries??
I remember the Great Firewall of China
http://www.greatfirewallofchina.org/
which is no longer functioning..there may be similar sites? Anyone?

Female Train Conductor Leaves Mic On

Here are the naughty NHL *prank students talking about their stunt (in Dutch):
http://www.mjuks.nl/video.php?f=195
They had a key to open a door to reach the intercom, were a bit scared but they did it anyway and played the porn tape near the intercom.

Downvoting regionally blocked videos (Sift Talk Post)

Recently there was this discussion:
http://engineering.videosift.com/talk/Suggestion-Filter-setting-for-Region-blocking-videos
I've made up my mind, the downsides of allowing regionblocked content outweigh the upsides.

Solution:
Why not just declare a regionblocked video * dead when the video can't be seen from your specific region? Doesn't that solve the problem?
The one who invokes dead will have to specify from what region the video can't be seen or the video will be declared * undead again or fixed with another regionblocked video.
