I just had a thread get locked too, and it’s the first time for me:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1949991/posts

It’s not a dupe as I did a search.

Maybe the software is malfunctioning right now.

Not sure.

Socks threads are typically OK.

[jdm]

Oh, and the error was this...

http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/admin/abuse?id=1949966

Not sure what that means. I don’t know what 1949966 signifies.

OMG, that’s a ‘sandal-toe’ ;-)

That’s a nice warm looking rug.

"That’s a nice warm looking rug."

It's a SHAG, baby....

Whatever you do, avoid controversial topics....

Your previous posts look quite reasonable, and I assume you checked that you weren’t a duplicate post. Since we were not able to read it, we have no idea what the issue was, if any....

I think Rudy lovers should not be banned so long as they don't try to spread their pro-Rudy poison around here.

I think the Free Republic policy regarding Rudy lovers should be like the miliary policy towards homosexuals - "Don't ask, don't tell."

My opinion means nothing as I am never in the "know", but....

I think the problem with your thread was that it discussed the assassination of a Democratic Presidential candidate. Even though the article was written by a leftist loon and was completely absurd, those post tend to be taken out of context and used against us by the left.

You did very well for someone not in the know. The topic is as touchy as it gets, on more than one count.

BTW, no demerits to the poster or anything like that.

[naturalman1975]

Fair enough - I just wanted to know so I can steer clear of it in the future.

I too would like to know what sources we can’t post articles from, or which we can only post excerpts from. Is there a file or list someplace which we posters can use?

[Solitar]

Thank you for that link to the thread with that list.
At least it is a start.
It would be nice to have a *current* updated list.

Updated FR Excerpt and Link Only or Deny Posting List due to Copyright Complaints

Ah yes, even my blindspot can sometimes be worked around when somebody shows me the same thing enough times. Thank you. Now I see that the original post in that thread is updated. As in: Edited on 01/03/2008 11:53:59 PM MST by Admin Moderator.
