Ask your questions. Anything goes. We can always default to Jim.

That's easy enough to explain: Posted like this:

just copy and past it into a new browser window and you will go there.

Or in this instant you can right click here and open it in a new browser window. (that is of course if I did my html right)

I suppose that's true!!LOL!!

Problem would likely be that most everybody would see their post as "substantive"...even if it's drivel.

True, but perhaps Admin Moderators could go in and change the colors for those who are slow to figure out that their sarcastic, one-liner, joke replies are NOT substantitive. And when that doesn't work for repeat-offenders, they could pull a few of their posts until they follow the rules.

You might want to try opening multiple browser windows. That's what all of the mods and I'm sure many other FReepers do.

That way you can keep latest posts in one window, a thread you're watching in another, and anyathing else you want in yet other windows.

[Gabz]

And we're going to keep it that way!!!!

[Admin Moderator]

Tried, we get, unable to ban, or something like that. I tried to ban Jim and got the same message, John thinks of it all.... (can't ban him either)

[NYC GOP Chick]

So, how would I (hypothetically) submit a new member for approval?

[BagCamAddict]

Awww shucks, thanks.

[Admin Moderator]

Admin's of course..... ;)

[NYC GOP Chick]

LOL! And it's no coincidence that you made post #666, is it?! ;)

[ValerieUSA]

The chills have hit again, I need to go lie down under all the blankies.... hold my spot.

ARGHHHHHHHHH!

[Gabz]

Oops, sorry - this thread is moving so fast that I was behind when I made the same suggestions.

My apologies.

[Sabertooth]

I think what he is trying to say is that you get your free passes as well as many of us at times. None of us are perfect.

Any passes I get aren't for violating posting guidelines.

Well, there was that time a few years ago with the Bo Derek pics in the clingy wet shirts, which were borderline, but deleted, as it was explained to me.

The nude Linda Evans was allowed to remain, however, so I guess I am guilty.

[Professional Engineer]

Fancy seeing you here.

[Johnny_Cipher]

In the "Unintended Irony" Department, look at the post number where you admit you once tried to ban Jim Robinson.

[knak]

thanks, I usually have up a couple other windows of breaking news sites already. Yes, I'm a junkie!

[Fred Mertz]

Why do 90% of the moderators cringe at any criticism of Bush's policies?

That's all I want to know.

No apology necessary - its an occupational hazard at FR :)

[Sabertooth]

You got #666. Figures.
