I assume the original posted did not do that.

You are correct. I did NOT do that. I think that whoever did put that in the topics category is in fact tipping his hand concerning this thread. He and a few of his buddies are obviously conspiring to have this thread pulled and I find that offensive. Why are people allowed to edit my post or the post of anyone else by inserting bogus keywords and topics in the first place?

FYI Any registered FReeper can insert any keyword or topic that they want to. It is a very useful function for categorizing threads by relevant subjects. It allows others to easily find threads on a specific topic or subject or name.

That said the keyword function is often abused as you have seen here. The mods can remove keywords and can and will rebuke or zot those who abuse them. I have seen it done. I don't know if they have the ability to remove specific keywords or have to wipe the slate clean. You could ask them if you want the keywords cleaned up on this thread.

If they have to wipe the slate clean you (or someone) will have to reinsert the keywords you want. The mods have the ability to see who put what keywords in so they can do something about the offender/s if they feel it is appropriate.

Sometimes people just use keywords to make jokes when the thread is aburd and the mods let it stand. Obviously not the case here.
