I'm new to FR although I have lurked for a couple of years. Now that I have taken the plunge I have a few questions if you folks don't mind.
When and how do you ping?
I have seen a few articles posted only to have the admin. mod. change them (article was/wasn't excerpted, etc.). What are the rules regarding this?
I also remember something about some media outlets not allowing their articles to be posted on FR (or something like that). How do I find out which media outlets they are? Don't want to get in trouble! Newbies seem to sometimes have to almost go through a "hazing" here so the last thing I want to do is leave myself wide open! I have the HTML sandbox bookmarked but haven't found info regarding the above issues. Thanks much.
"Hazing" is not a hugh problem here. I'm series!
Have some cheese but watch the biting moose. Take a shower and have fun!
1. Get your laundry caught up.
2. Buy paper plates
3. Fill your freezer with micro dinners
4. Notify your relatives if your connection will always make your phone be "busy". This will saves trips by relatives to check whether you are alive or not.
Good Luck!
Nixay when posting full articles from Washington Post and LA Post. Post only an excerpt then provide the link to the rest of the article. This rule is the result of a litigation agreement.

Nah...only when you screw up, and we are all subject to openly harsh peer criticism then.

You won't.
Welcome aboard.
