Per this discussion - I'd like for us all to re-adhere to original guidelines for primary Sift Talk posts as layed out in the little blue box on the right. -->

Sift Talk is a discussion area for our members. Feel free to post and respond to issues about VideoSift, our community, or online videos in the news.

Another way to think of it is that this is the VideoSift channel Sift Talk. Perfect for all things related to VideoSift- issues, our members, rules, ideas, problems, culture and more. You could even extend this to news about online video in general - as that's what VideoSift is about.

For topical discussions - post to one of the channel Sift Talks. What's suitable for each one of those channels is up to the manager. I agree that *nochannel is needed for Sift Talk posts- we'll look at getting that turned on.

From this point on (not retroactively) we will try and keep this rule in effect and as clean as possible.

For a good way to get general discussions going or post what's on your mind. I recommend the VideoSift member blogs!
