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

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.

will get you nothing.

You don’t think I know that by now?

[notaliberal]

Just made a statement.

[Jet Jaguar]

I did not know that.

Thanks.

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.

If you don't belong to [insert religious group name], and you haven't been invited onto the Caucus thread by the original poster, you can't post to a [insert religious group name] Caucus thread, period. However, a [insert religious group name] Caucus thread must not discuss any other religious group, period. Doing so will result in the offending thread being pulled, and possibly [depending on the circumstances of the comment] the removal of the "Caucus" status, allowing non-[insert religious group name] members to freely post on the formerly-protected thread.

If non-Caucus members want to repost the [insert religious group name] Caucus thread material as an Open (i.e. non-caucused) Thread, they need to wait four hours, after which they may repost the material.

So apparently the official position of this site is you can comment on anything you like as long as you wait four hours.

Not on a Caucus thread.

There was a similar rule at the Mustang Ranch, NV, but I don’t think it was as long as 4 hours.

I get the rule. It’s wrong.

[a fool in paradise]

I just ate. Is it true I have to wait 60 minutes before posting?

[sockmonkey]

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

Well, I thought the poster was doing a pretty good Wendy Davis impersonation. Wonder if it will go on for thirteen hours?

One can never have too much lute!!

[SoConPubbie]

I knew about it.

The point isn’t duplicate threads. The point is they don’t want you commenting on certain religious topics.

No, the point is that the classification of "Caucus" means that the thread if for that particular caucus, and marking it that way, makes it a safe place from acrimonious or contentious posts, or even posts you think might prove the fallacious beliefs of a certain brand of theology.

The rule is applied evenly for every caucus. IMHO, it is a fair approach for a safe-haven discussion for each and every Denomination.

He said, “I started this thread because the religious mod told me I couldn’t comment on a Catholic Caucus thread.”

So, this is his stomping the floor anger fit thread.

[DManA]

And they shove it into your face. A don’t let you comment on it. That is wrong.

[DManA]

Anger? I don’t feel anger. Do you sense it?

Maybe you are looking in a mirror?

[faithhopecharity]

The FR Viagra rule?

[DManA]

I am desperately trying to find a connection between what I posted and an erection. Not catching it. Sorry. I’m stupid.

[Robwin]

Oh, cripe, does this mean I have to wait until after midnight my time to repost this? I can’t stay up that long.

[faithhopecharity]

No you’re not stupid. I’m demented. It just seemed to be the only other four hour rule that arose ( so to speak) in my mind ( of course). And an earlier poster alluded to it so. Anyway I will quiet down. I like the rule anyway. Thanks

[Conservative4Ever]

I only know about the 3 second rule. Don’t know about a 4 hour rule in this case.

So, this is his stomping the floor anger fit thread.

No, it's the Second Whine like Wendy Davis thread. The first thread was pulled.
