What's so hateful about "islam is the light"?
Because everything associated to islam is to do with terrorism, right?
I hate this kind of natural bone-deep racism.

In fact, it's sad reality that for those who are and choose to remain "Probationary" (negative connotation), the site really is only an affirmation site. We are not permitted to downvote video or comments. Is there some kind of fear that those who haven't submitted video will rise up and destroy the site? Is there no consideration of time as a member which enters into a regular member's "Probationary" status? How long would be long enough, to no longer be "Probationary?" How does 2.5 years sound?
Nope.
Hilarious video, by the way.
You make a very good point. It is a sad thing, but perhaps necessary. Being able to downvote would let people make countless accounts and downvote to hell. I mean, it's already imbalanced (see the ukelele video for proof), so i'm not sure whether the probie-downvote would make it worse or even it out.. let's assume that any false vote is bad for the site and say "probably make it worse".
I actually aim to get stars via comments, doing quite well so far, but i had to submit a video or two to get off probationary.. i had something like 3 applauded comments but still the little P because i hadn't submitted a video. In the end i posted some run of the mill trash that i knew would easily get upvotes just to get the video in and done. And if you check the sift as often as i do, you'll see people doing the same IN ORDER TO GET 250 STARS (or 500, or 100, or whatever). Music video after music video that has no real value. But then some people would say they do have value, and i can live with that. Personally, i only post what i think is top quality. And most of that stuff i get beaten on, but i don't think "omg i could have had a star", i just think good, the sift has profited.
