I do not get why Mods pull Threads
Self | 3/25/2019 | Super7man

This morning a post was pulled regarding the discovery of Mastadon bones in maybe Indiana. The reason cited for pulling it was "chat".

I don't get it. The article was NOT a vanity; it was a published news article. Things like that are interesting and should be allowed.

For God sake, they let a letter jumble puzzle be posted every morning.

Does FR have a defined criteria as what is allowed and what is not.

This kind of thing has happened more than once.

Yes, it is Robinson's site and he can do what he wants, but to me this is really annoying.

“There’s no rhyme or reason to it. They do it because they can.”

Yep. The comment “Mastodon Bones are trivial, chat not news” shows pretty much how subjective this place is.

there should be a charge for the “silly stuff”, what a waste. But then who decides what is silly?
They should leave stuff alone. If you don’t like it, don’t click to read.

Yeah. You needed to post it in chat.

When I first started to post threads, I posted an anti-Rapistberger thread(Steelers) in Breaking News and got reamed for it. I didn’t know any better.

BTW, this was before he raped that college student in Milledgeville. About five days after my post, I walk down the drive to get my dad’s Macon Telegraph and there’s little Ben on the front page above the fold....

accused of rape in Milledgeville(about an 1:15 north of me).

Just repost it under “chat.”

It’s not rocket science.

Well, maybe it is to you.

I don’t know. Maybe Jim was a mastedon lover and resists the taking over of their territory by elephants..I know it is a concern of mine.

Mods killed Lucianne.com


Also, all the ads killed lucianne.com

Yrs and yrs ago, the most annoying ad was a little car that would drive across the screen. If memory serves, it was right around the 2000 election.

We freeps are older. Maybe the mastodon bones reminded someone of their mom...

Actually, it WAS posted under General Chat.

I do not know what the Mastodon Article was posted under. But it looks to me like I did post mine in Chat.

“We FReeps are not children needing overprotective monitoring.”

Exactly. I’d leave if I were you.

The problem I have with the Mods is they have not saved me from embarrassment and ridicule by not pulling some of my threads. Too often and too late I realize subjects about which I post are trivial and not deserving of comment, either thoughtful or witty.

If you’re talking about who I think you’re talking about, I love him, he makes me laugh. I feel strangely protective of him.

“If they don’t tell us why then we don’t learn anything.”

Not true. I posted a thread in chat about women who made and ate a pizza with her placenta.

Thread got pulled and I got banned for a week.

I definitely learned on that one.

I wish I knew about photoshop, this thread needs a meme of Biden sniffing old mastodon bones.

They say some of the females are also Sex Robots, i.e. Cherry2000.

Missed that one.

I’m in Indiana and have mastodon bones. I kept a femur, a vertebra and a rib

We dug up them up in a peat bog in the north central part of the state. A cow, upside down with a calf beside her. The pelvis was the size of a dining room table, and was as far as we could get due to the water table.

Property owner gave them to a small college in return for an education for his kid (who never went). I returned all but those bones, as they said they could re-create anything missing
