There is a Mod who thinks that only political articles belong in News/Activism.

Despite the extinction of the proto-GOPe icon, news of finding a dead mastodon is not political.

General Chat heroically served this country so that we would have a place to speak about obscure and inane things. Please honor his service by posting in the forum named after him.

You should have posted this as “Breaking”...

This is so embarrassing: I stopped for a second to try to figure out “Jew, a needle pulling thread”.

It’s a privately owned site and the mods can do whatever the owner instructs.

I’ve never had a thread pulled in 15 years. Following the rules here is easy.

Worth repeating:

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

May I add:

Since we don't learn anything we keep making the same mistakes and the Mod Squad has to painstakingly punish us again and again and again and again and again.

Conclusions?

The Mod Squad likes creating unnecessary work for themselves. -or- They enjoy punishing us.

It was a test of The Emergency Zotcast System.

Had this been an actual Zot you would not be reading this.

Yeah, there was a article about Jews sewing right under the one about old mastodon bones.

I agree. FR threads should not be pulled unless they are totally offensive and egregious or a propaganda piece of trash. Even the silly stuff should be left alone. We FReeps are not children needing overprotective monitoring.

Poor Jonah. He may as well dunk his face in a bowl of crushed Cheetos.

On the other hand, there is some guy who posts here who writes some kind of church bulletin or club newsletter or some tripe, and posts it here in news. Used to be every Saturday. He thinks his meanderings are Pulitzer quality or some such. And the mods let his threads stay.

I know exactly what you're talking about. And I'm religious. And his stuff is always TOTALLY CREEPY.

It was so bad it had me thinking maybe he was some SPLC guy, trying to turn people off to Christianity.

I growled a few times, but somehow it seemed to strengthen his delusions that he was doing good.

Feeling persecuted, he seemed to get off on being a vaguely Christ-like figure.

It's SICK.

Free Republic moderation is and always has been capricious.

We had moderators years ago who were politically for dissolving the border with Mexico, and they worked together with a long gone, dead, and unlamented poster known as Howlin to ban or suspend posters who's primary goal was securing our borders.

It got better, and that faction lost the debate here.

When the depth of the pedophile problem in the church began to be revealed over a decade ago, we had some religion moderators who would add the religion tag to a thread and then ban or suspend users criticizing the shielding of pedophiles for (retroactively) violating the religious forum rules.

Obviously the denial they were in has collapsed by this point.

Disappearing threads is mild.

Take everything with a grain of salt, and if you get upset read a book or go visit a friend or something.

Don't let this site evolve from a place to get news into a central social activity for your life.

I'm also preaching to me of course.

“... guy who posts here who writes some kind of church bulletin or club newsletter or some tripe, and posts it here in news.”

Not commenting on this specific example, but this comes close to my one gripe with FR.

I try to be respectful and differential to other’s beliefs, but it is difficult when people try to pass off horrible shysters and parochial interests as “news”
