YouTube Commentary 6 - disabling voting

- The votebot that hit Orygyn has now started on me. They made me an enemy, and I'll start my own anti-fundamentalist voting campaign now.
- Video ratings and viewings are not linked, so there is no votebot resistance
- expire commenting ability / etc after a predetermined time
- BitTorrent disrupts Quick Capture videos, chopping them off.

Audio is prioritized with Quick Capture, and I also reproduced an issue with bittorrent during the recording and preview phase where the video was choppy and out of sync.

If bittorrent is on during recording, playback and saving (uploading) then it's sure to mangle things.

update:

- I forgot to mention that there's a way for YouTube to track thumbs already. It'll eventually say "Please wait a few minutes to vote again." so obviously the tracking mechanism is there, but there's no abuse tracking to flag a user for doing this kind of thing.

Ideas:

- Require 100% of the video be watched before a vote is allowed.

- Require x% of the video be watched before a comment is allowed.  y% before additional comments.

As an aside, I wonder if there should be two voting systems.

- I disagree / agree

- Amateur / well produced video

A lot of starring is done based on the content and not the production. That doesn't seem right to me..
