I've been on Videosift for a while, and I've only ever reached a bronze star, which was recently taken away from me with videosift 4.0, but that's not the issue here.
The issue here is that, the simple invocations, (blocked, NSFW, long and brief), are unavailable till silver star, do I really need to sift 50 videos in order to tell that a video is longer than 600 seconds?, likewise for blocked, and brief, the only one that I could see an issue with is NSFW, which is open to interpretation, and is not objective.
But quite frankly, its a sorry state of affairs when I have to spam comments to get the *blocked invocation on a video.
It seems quite unreasonable and rather idiotic to keep it this way.

oh snap
Yeah, I have to agree with you on brief and blocked for sure. It has always frustrated me.
Yeah, I kinda wish it goes to a vote if enough people think its an issue.
I think the reason for it being silver is that not everyone should be able to do it for fear of spam/misuse. That said, it could easily be moved to bronze.
It's not a right, it's a privilege.

On the other hand, abuse of said right/privilege could just be a faster, more efficient way to keep the chattle out.

Yeah I meant to mention this in my post, if it was moved, I move it to bronze, because it strikes the right balance between protection from spam, while not being so high up that its a bit silly.
Because I found getting the original bronze hard, sure, I've tried to sift some seriously bad shit in my time here, but 50 bloody videos for silver, at the rate I'm currently going, I'l reckon I'l hit that in 2012.
Heh, they should make a "brass" star at 15 now.
Seconded. 25 videos can seems like a daunting task to a newbie just coming to the sift. And give all 4 (or at least brief/long) powers to it.
OK, we'll take this into consideration. We're going to be updating again soon, so there may be some changes there.
Awesome thanks.
