How many of you knew there was a four hour rule?

It is a duplicate thread. You must wait 4 hours to re-post the same article for it not to be automatically pulled as a duplicate.

Find a similar article or wait 4 hours.

I had no idea what kind of threads you were talking about and I still don’t. I’m creeping up on 21,000 threads and I don’t remember hearing of caucus threads, or I did and Oldtimer’s kicked in.

IMHO, with the search function FR has, there’s no reason to ever post a duplicate. Search: it’s a function. Use it.

The point is they [The religious monitor] don’t want you commenting on certain religious topics.

What topics would those be? And what prevents you (besides the four hour rule) from starting your own caucused threads, preventing others from "commenting on certain religious topics"?

Because it’s a “caucus’ thread. Which is stupid.

I misunderstood the question then so ignore post #5.
I don't know anything about "caucus" threads or their rules.

Hmmm, I’ve posted on Catholic caucus threads and I’m a Protestant. Had no problems yet.

Then you should have asked the question in it’s religious context.

I thought he was talking about duplicate threads not religion threads.

Very disappointing for the Catholic-bashing freepers.

Thank you.

As I said, the 4 hour rule has been around for quite a while. It’s reasonable and if applied equally to all, it’s fair. I have no problem with it.

And that, Regis, is my final answer!

Goodnight. :-)

I started this thread because the religious mod told me I couldn’t comment on a Catholic Caucus thread. Then he told me about the four hour rule. So apparently the official position of this site is you can comment on anything you like as long as you wait four hours.

I didn’t know anything about this and just read on the Religious Moderator’s page about posting on religious threads. The rules are written right there about caucus threads. If you have a problem, you need to discuss it with the Religious Moderator.

Complaining like you are doing now, will get you nothing.

I would forgive that if I thought you weren’t a bigot.
