Downvoting regionally blocked videos

0
0

So, soon after I joined the sift, we as a community voted not to sift comedy central videos because they were region blocked. I wasn't sure how I felt about it at the time, but some strong statements were made by our devs and various others, and so I bought into it.

Lately, more and more comedy central videos have come up, and while I love John Stewart and Steven Colbert, I vote any I find down... mostly because I wish people would stop submitting them given what we decided. I see many comedy central clips I would love to submit, but I don't.

Obviously, some people don't like that. I've even received a request to not downvote regionblocked videos until after they sift. What? How could that possibly make sense? I don't want them to sift--I don't want them here at all.

So perhaps I've missed a boat somewhere. Has our opinion changed? Personally, I think the whole, leave it to the community not to sift comedy central videos has been a vast failure. If we really think it shouldn't be done, then it shouldn't be done. If we don't care anymore, let's say that right out.

I don't like being pointed at as a witch because I believed in the discussion and the community concensus, so tell me I'm wrong, and if I hear the community in the statement, I will desist.
