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.

Just a morning rant to get my blood pressure up to normal.

This thread should be pulled as it is a chat thread and you posted it in news.

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

I think there is a chat section. Perhaps the main News/Activism page is for politics, national and world news, etc.

I hardly ever post a thread anymore so I’m a bit rusty. Someone else may be able to better answer your question.

Wouldn’t a rant to release stress get your blood pressure DOWN to normal?

I know, this has nothing to do with the comment :)

Have you considered FReepmailing the mods and asking them why?

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Sometimes I need a break from politics, and I find science-y articles interesting.

I don't know the answer to your question.

You clapped a lot of erasers and passed out a lot of apples in elementary school, didn’t you?

“Wouldn’t a rant to release stress get your blood pressure DOWN to normal?”

One would think so, however when I rant (mentally), I just end up spinning myself up more and more. Very unhealthy, at least for me.

I always post in chat. It still goes to the top of the threads.

Yeah that happens to me.

Maybe in the long run (hours) it gets one’s pressure down, but in the short term it’s brutal :)

What, do they have hit teams like that CIA?

The reason cited for pulling it was "chat".

The same reason this one's going to get pulled. Why did you post this one under news/activism too???

Newbie question: Why would they remove it instead of just move it to chat? Are mods unable to change the section it’s in?

Mastedon bones are trivial, therefore, chat. News is news. "Extra, extra, hear all about it" sort of thing.

Get over yourself. Just because you consider it important doesn't make it so. Just like this thread.
