ZOT! Free Republic Sucks?

[fisherspats]

Are People banned from this site? Are opposing views not welcomed? Why, YES.....Over the past 5-6 years I have had to change my log-in several times..Due to a "Banning". I have received over 132 e-mails from "Freepers" that were also banned. I enjoy reading most of the postings...I start my morning on this site. But I have learned not to reply or post any opposing views...until now. I'm sure this posting will vanish and once again I will be "banned". Until another screen name my friends.

You must have been getting a cup of coffee. :)

"[Sob, sniffle] I have received over 132 e-mails from 'Freepers' that were also banned."

Do you belong to a 'Cry-On-My-Shoulder' support group for "banned Freepers"??

I have a tear in my eye...It was so...moving!

Isn't this thread a repost and shouldn't it be in breaking news?

I am afraid I am too new to know myself, ZOT, BUMP, PING

Some daffynitions on the above:

ZOT = Zero On Thread - Offender will soon be removed.

BUMP = Big Unilateral Manipulation of a Post = Someone is so impressed with a thread that if they just reply with a "BUMP" it means that this thread goes back to the top of the Queue on the respective page where it was originally found, i.e. "Breaking News" "Chat" etc.

PING = Pretty Interesting Needs Groupies - The poster has a list of friends in his group that he wishes to alert to an interesting thread. When he "Pings" them they get a notification to join in the discussion of the "Pinged" thread.

Hope this helps.

Hey! I (still) want to know how many articles & replies I've posted.

LOL. Good FReeper!

[Zavien Doombringer]

It does, I am reading the manual now...I had to print it for future reading as well.

I post plenty of "opposing" views on a wide variety of topics and I have been here for years and never a single time have I been banned or suspended even.

Its when you post for the express purpose of disrupting the site or post pure nonsense and garbage that you get banned.

Hey, I finally got to post on one of these threads before ZOT!

Don't worry- the leather armies have prevailed ;)

[Pyrion]

Unless the person bumping up the thread is the thread creator, in which case it means "Bumping Up My Post."

;)

Sure, in a second.

I am sure when Jim gets up and checks, he'll find a bevy of other accounts tied to this one.

Sad. Some people have no life.

Thanks. I'm a doctor not a proofreader.

And you didn't sleep at a Holiday Inn last night...

Another one--

"Send me up the ---(whatever)" Or however that phrase goes.
