new SiftBot Invocation "*save"
We are getting some feedback (ahem blankman) that sometimes quality posts are being discarded without getting the attention they deserve.
I think it does happen, and it is frustrating to see good stuff expire while more er ... "sensational" content finds its way out in a few hours.
So, we've made a "*save" SiftBot Invocation for expiring for expired posts. The rules are similar to a classic *promote - (not your own video, limit of 1 per week). *save will put an expired or expiring video back at the top of the queue and give it another full go to escape.

deputydogFirst off, excuse the ignorance.
What's the difference between save and promote? I've only just learnt about discard and my tiny brain is threatening to give up on me.
lucky760Promote is for already published videos (i.e., videos that have made it out of the queue onto the front page at some point in the past) while save will "bump" a video in the queue up to the front of the queue where it was when added for the first time and give it another chance at being voted to the front page, it's originally scheduled expire time notwithstanding.
dotdudeIs this limited to someone OTHER THAN the ORIGINAL POSTER?
AnlizI think it should be used only by others, like promote
Actually looks like the rules already say it...
"*save Rescue an expired or expiring link from queue deletion. (Limit on per week, not your own submission)"
dotdudeThe timing of this new feature is kind of ironic given some the recent VideoSift discussions over Christianity.
If I had a nickel for every time I was asked “Are you saved?” at Mississippi State. . . better yet, make that a dollar.
deathcowAre you saved?
Yes, I use multiple redundant religions for maximum safety.
