How to contact an administrator at FR

How does one contact an administrator of FreeRepublic? I don't want to bother Jim he's got enough going on right now but I just posted two articles that were taken down immediately in the past few days.

One for Copyright infringement, but they weren't on the list and I don't want to make that mistake again if I should know something more, the other reason just said, 'Pulled' but I honestly did not see anything for the reason why.?

Who do you contact?

No one, it happens

I don’t believe your articles will be restored. When I’ve asked ‘why’ regarding deletions I never got a response. You can post your query here - state what article you posted or other info and if FReepers know a reason, or had their similar post pulled too, you may learn what to avoid.

To address a post or pm to Admin, type Admin Moderator.

I’ve had good luck by sending a large contribution in cash, non consecutive serial numbers and different denominations. You might try that. Good luck.

Consider changing your name to ‘BuypolarBob’

Thank tou.

I did write Jim originally but felt bad doing it. Since I did not get an answer, and it’s only been a day, but he does have enough to worry about and I thought best to write someone else.

The first article was a National Review article and I did search the copyright list and they are not on it. Yet, the reason was Copyright infringement. I don’t want to put up the article address here because I then searched FR for posts from NR and the one I found went back a long ways and thought is there something with NR? The article was about how conservatives are doing better than liberal schools in the school system due to a program implemented to help students do better. I think the program was made by a conservative.

The second article the website is also not on the copyright list but that one was pulled and the reason was Pulled. That article was about a group of gang members in Argentina who kidnapped women and tortured them and then murdered them on a closed social media for a select audience. I wanted to show the dangers of letting these illegals who may be from this sort of group into our country.

That article is https://headlinesociety.com/2025/10/01/man-arrested-in-seaside-resort-days-after-3-womens-house-of-horror-torture-and-murder-was-livestreamed-on-social-media/

Oh, I didn’t think the articles would be restored. I just didn’t want to make whatever the mistake was again.

Did you post images from either of those articles? There are specific rules for images which can’t include Getty or others etc.

If Jim received a takedown notice from either of those publications he may have instructed Mods to take down further articles, for now or?

I know that RealRawNews is not permitted and Bloomberg cannot be posted or even linked, as far as I know. I know of a few more but they don’t come to mind right now.

I will share your query on another thread. Hopefully you’ll receive comments from freepers about your specific publications. If you do, perhaps we could combine that info and my info and make it a post on the copyright thread for future reference. I’m sorry it happened to ya.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Like the others it’s not perfect but you shouldn’t take it so serious. We’re all having fun here.

[Beowulf9]

I did not post any images.

[Beowulf9]

Thank you.

Send to admin moderator
It’s that simple.

[bigbob]

It’s all done by AI now.

[Beowulf9]

Ok. Did that. Thanks ☺️

[Beowulf9]

There’s a good idea 😄

[Beowulf9]

Originally I did send an email but sent it to admin and it wouldn’t go, din’t know I needed to add moderator.

I have found the best method to get the Mods' attention is to use the "Abuse" button:

1. Post a comment, like "Trying to get the Mod's attention, hello". It can be addressed to anybody, including Admin Moderator, or yourself.
2. After you hit Post you'll see an "Abuse" button for your comment. Click it.
3. A form will appear where you can describe the "abuse", which of course is your message to the Mods, like "Yo wassup dawg?" or whatever you wish to convey.
4. Submit the form. Wait. If your message admits of a reply from the Mods, you will get it, either in the form of a reply comment or a PM (FReepMail).

Don’t take it personally. All you lost was a small investment in time. Post again. Happens to us all.

Unfortunately, there are some bigots on FR who post ethnic slurs. I notify Mr. Admin Moderator, and post to the bigot poster that “ethnic slurs are not needed, nor wanted on FR”. Admin Moderator takes the bigotry down every time! Thanks Admin Moderator!

[Beowulf9]

Thanks. Trying to be rational, it’s easy to fall into the ‘they hate me’ trap 😆 Totally agree with you about the racial slurs. I’m glad they take that seriously.
