I have tried several times to post articles here that I thought were quite important and relevant and should be opened up to discussion here on Free Republic. These articles were about issues that greatly concern us all. Each time that I have tried to post such an article (it happened again just a few minutes ago) I get a message that says "Articles from ________________ not welcome here". So that I do not in the future ever again waste my time (my time being valuable to me) how do I know what is welcome here and what is not welcome here from different internet sites? Is there a list somewhere? If not, there definitely should be.
TOPICS: Your Opinion/Questions

I know some Blogs on candidates are not welcome but I figured out you can find most of the same stuff on the candidates own websites which can be posted.

I got this once for posting a completely vile piece of crap from someone by the name of Rall. In retrospect, I am glad his stuff is not welcome here.

Posting GuidelinesBroadly stated, the goals of this site are to further conservatism, expose political corruption, and recover a truly constitutional form of government. If these are not your goals, you may find another discussion site more suitable.
Free Republic expects users to follow a few simple posting guidelines (described below) and by posting to the forum you and others agree to abide by them. While Free Republic is not edited or censored, it does reserve the right to remove any postings that are considered inappropriate. Examples of inappropriate posts are those that are off-subject or contain advertising, pornography, obscene material, racist material, Nazi (or other hate group) material, materials promoting violence, threats or illegal acts, etc.
These guidelines are intended to help maintain a useful amount of order in a large site like this and to promote better posting. They may be revised without notice. Users of Free Republic should also understand that this is a privately owned, not-for-profit site and that they are guests here. The owner reserves the right to revoke posting privileges and, when necessary, to permanently ban individuals.
- Do lead by example - Nothing improves a forum more than posters who reason sharply, write well, and have some perspective about it all. Be one of them.
- Do preview - Preview twice, post once. And, ahem, close your HTML tags before you hit the reply button. (More on that below.)
- Do keep it clean - A bruise or two between Freepers is tolerable, but refrain from abusive attacks, engaging in senseless flame wars, and using profane language. Considering the range of topics we discuss, it's hard to be a family site, but that's what we aim for when at all possible.
- Do "take it to the Alley" - The Alley is a public chat room. A link to it is provided on the latest posts page. Invite people there if you want to talk things over or settle a score, so to speak, off site.
- Do use common sense - If you read a post that sounds too good or strange to be true, it probably is.
- Do stay on topic - If you are going to post an article, make sure you are placing it in the correct topic area.
- Do include the original title - When you post an article, be sure to include the original title where appropriate. This helps users find the article and lessens the chance of a double post.
- Do keep "vanity" posts to a minimum - Free Republic is primarily a place to discuss news, articles, and editorials. Vanity posts, creations of the poster him or herself, should meet a high standard of quality before one is even considered worthy of posting. Often a relevant current thread or general announcement, catch-all thread is a much better choice for a brief question or comment.
- Don't jump threads - If you get involved in an argument in one thread, it's considered poor manners to restart the previous argument in the middle of an unrelated thread.
- Don't spam - Post your message once. If you are not sure if it has posted, check the latest posts page.
- Don't violate poster privacy - Don't reveal online another poster's phone number, address, or other information that the person hasn't already made public for everyone on Free Republic. If you are asked for a friend's email address, the best advice usually is to forward the request to the friend. He or she can then decide whether to respond.
- Don't play games - Don't represent yourself as another person, create or use another screen name to avoid a revocation of posting privileges, misrepresent the site or your role in it, and don't misattribute a contribution you've made. (Parody exceptions would apply to the latter, of course, but it should be clear what you are doing.)
- Don't be a whiner - If you really, really find Free Republic not to your liking, let the webmaster know directly (jimrob@psnw.com), learn to live with it, or move along.

My personal guide revolves around two things:
- Consider the Content
Is this something that could be discussed in polite company? If so, it's should be fair game. If not, it's best left alone.
- Consider the Source
Is the source one of those whacked-out Leftist sites that will say anything up to (and including) that George W. Bush is the Anti-Christ? Is this one of those whackjob Conspiracy Caper sites that thinks the U.S. government is using mind-control chips on everyone who doesn't believe the way they do? If so, it's best to leave those things unsaid. Stirring the pot with The Great Brown Spoon isn't what most folks consider "fun" or "informative."
If you can meet both of those simple guidelines, you should be stylin'. It works for me!

No offense but if you feel like you are wasting your time here, you are probably wasting your time here.
To: vikingcelt
Any more questions like these and you're more than likely to end up on that 'not welcome' list...

"That sounds series to me..." It is, I think I've uncovered a vast lame-brained conspiracy...
It seems nothing can be posted on FR unless it is ghost written by Ted Nugent, Geroge Carlin, or Tourist Guy.

Since you seem to be avoiding an explaination of these issues of great concern, I will assume they were only IOGC to you.

George W. Bush is the Anti-Christ? Everybody knows that it's not GWB but it is the Hildabeast.

Shhh! That technology won't be available until next year! ;-)

I had two replies deleted last night and a message in my mail box this morning from J.R. Saying, don't post links from this site.
That's fine. I can't find out what was objectionable about them though. It's really not any of my business, it's not MY site but it would be nice to know what to avoid. My reply page doesn't go back that far even when I click "show more posts" so I can't review the links I posted and I didn't save them anywhere else.
I posted in reply to another poster asking for links to sites that had articles about megaliths outside of Europe.
