Repeatedly, FR moderators have moved TOP postings related to current NEWS and calls for conservative ACTIVISM from the News and Activism section, over to "blogger's and personal" which has no traffic by comparison.
I fully understand Jim Robinson's original purpose in launching FR, to provide a community in which conservatives could get TRUTH not available in the MSM, information not available in the MSM and access to fellow conservatives so that we could work together towards a conservative agenda.
Yet time after time, FR moderators bury this information over in "blogger's and personal" and kill story after story, vital to the conservative movement.
Why?
Without a change in this policy, I am through posting to FR. The moderators on FR have less sense than the moderators on DU, where they at least work to bury the opposition, instead of themselves.
What gives? Anyone understand this self-defeating policy?

No way !
Like moving this to General Chat? Hmm. Havent noticed but I will start checking Bloggers

I don't find this to be the case at all. If the thread is popular, then it is popular wherever it is posted.
And without you giving us an example of this "self defeating policy," then you come-off as somewhat of a whiner.
..and knock it off with spamming Front Page, too.. my mail
In the upper right screen there is a cool “everything” link.
After FR’s apparent suspension of all rules (especially vanities) during the last election, I have no idea what the current rules are.
That said, I still love FR and I’m not going nowhere.
Who licked the red off your candy?
Care to give an example of these “TOP postings related to current NEWS and calls for conservative ACTIVISM”...
I bet they’re incoherent Orly Taitz posts.
Well I think you should. Absolutely, it’s time for you to move on.
I hate it when a complaint is made but doesn’t show us why you are angry.
FR should stay.
Select all categories. That’s what I do. Of course I read fast ~ particularly the big words@!
Exactly...it's what I use all the time.

I don’t see what the problem is. I just click on the link on the main page and get everything (all categories). I just keep refreshing so nothing is missed.
Give up FR? No way!
For one thing, it would be nice to get the very accurate foreign news reports from our retired border agents in news instead of bloggers. Articles not in the ‘news’ section, do not get any notice.
Doesn't seem like FR with the issue here...
Use this page which shows all the postings in all categories:

Yes, it will be a constant informing. Still this has more traffic than many, many others and well worth staying here. It is the best IMO!
Get over yourself. No, you do not make the rules, nor do I, as it should be.
Obama’s gonna save us.
If you dump FR, where you gonna go? And if you do make sure you write a soaring opus the mods can place in chat.
Would you like some cheese with that whine?
bah bye
Hackers Crack Into Free Republic, Warn of Zombies Ahead
It’s OK, i won’t be pissed if you were to quit FR. I don’t really like thin-skinned sissy whiners anyway.
I assumed this was it.
It's the wrong tone.
You have NO idea how much crap they have to wade through.
Want to chime in?
Go start your own and run it your way!
I do! Off with his head!
Um... Click the “everything” link and look at latest posts.
Free Republic is still the best source for news. It has been since I signed up.
Have you donated yet this quarter?
Let’s look at it like this...
If you come here to troll your own website, whether you got somethin to say or not, it should be over in bloggers and personal... You folks who come in here and post your own action, it is irritating to some because we don’t feel we have to read the fine print in an articles header. We come here for reputable news and it’s discourse.
Become famous and reputable... Then your stuff will be left up with the big guys...

He should have posted the title alone then linked to his blog for the rest, then posted it in the sidebar.
NO. It is my lifeline to other conservatives.
But then maybe you don’t belong here.
BA
That lets you see ALL the posts, not just news and activism.
As for dumping Free Republic, go ahead and dump it if you would like.
It's still the 800 lb gorilla.
I like FR, but I will admit it is harder for those of us who work all day to organize and become “activists” than it is for the opposition.
The upside is, we pay taxes and they don’t. Got to be some leverage there somehow, within the boundaries of the law. Trouble is, there are starting to be more voters who pay no taxes and/or are on the government dole than otherwise.
In summary - yes to FR, yes to more activism, no to tax moochers.
LOL!
Oh noes! My efforts to pimp my own blogsite have been thwarted by the evil FR admins, must whine and complain!!!!
snort
FreeRepublic. The sanest site for an insane world.
My only complaint about FR are the posting police....smugly pointing out that an article has been posted before....

Within moments, it had hundreds of hits and was fast climbing with people beginning to comment. Moments later, the traffic died instantly, and then I noticed it had been removed from News and Activism and dumped into Bloggers and Personal where all traffic has since died.
I then ran an FR search and see where someone else posted the same column for a different publication here...
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2173565/posts
I don't know if they posted it in news first, or just went straight to bloggers. But I do know that a growing number of conservative news sites are frustrated by the fact that their works are dumped into “bloggers” and MSM leftist drivel is considered “news” on FR....???
I have had this experience over and over again... Why? As for sounding like a “whiner” - your screen name is appropriate... "one rude child"
