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 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.

Less than an hour ago, I posted this column in News and Activism, for what will be obvious reasons if you read the column.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2173546/posts

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"

My most popular thread of all time was moved into the ‘Smokey Backroom’ and it had thousands of responses..

I think it’s more like a “self defecating policy”.....from the poster.

Hey 1rudeboy...they have moved some of the birth certificate postings...out of breaking news. They had some kind of reason, but I don’t remember what it was...senior moment.
