I was at the Superbowl and saw the whole thing.

Free Republic is a family oriented forum, or at least we try to be classier than your normal everyday run of the mill, slap 'em together forum. We have seen a significant increase in the amount of risqué comments and graphics being posted lately. Please tone it back a notch or two. The 'aw not this **** again' graphic and bared breasts are inappropriate. Let’s remember, we’re Free Republic, not some wanna be site, and certainly, we’re not some liberal chat site. Let’s keep our standards high. Strive for excellence. For the most part, we are educated, responsible adults. A simple comment to that effect will suffice. We don't need to see F*** or s***. The English language is a great tool; learn to use it. It really lowers your credibility as a poster when you resort to profanity and flames. It takes finesse to make your point without using these tactics.

Again, there are way to many vanities. We don’t need your one thought as an individual thread. Post it on a related thread. Also, you all might want to curb your super bowl outrage. It’s starting to get out of control, (see above). Please, use restraint. We don’t really need to see ‘the picture’ again, or a graphic description of the event.

And, please search, too many duplicates lately, use the original title to prevent duplicates and provide a link when you can. Lastly, there has been a significant increase in trolls (hugh and series). Several of you have freepmailed us with troll abuse via freepmail. Let us know if via abuse reports you receive anything like this, likewise on your state boards.

I read a post recently that queried "What the Kerry?" Now that's creative.

Kudos on your attention grabbing headline - I was at the Superbowl and saw the whole thing. ROFL!

Series. Let's leave the trash language and sleaze to the DUmmies.

Thank you for information you have provided. I didn't know that there was a law suit against Free Republic. I will keep that in mind when posting articles from those papers. Though mostly I watch sky news I hope that is ok

[Darksheare]

Any zot threads currently 'in qeue' at the moment?

[Admin Moderator]

Your thread is just mostly searched. There's a big difference between mostly searched and all searched. With all searched, there's usually only one thing you can do. Go through their posts and look for loose change.

I should be flattered by your theft of my ingenious color spectrum idea. But I am afraid I will have to charge you royalties. I'll have my accountant call your accountant. Easy payment terms are available.

depends on if he's "cool" or "hot headed"

[Shermy]

I'm not one for swearing but if a particularly nasty poster irks me would it be ok for me to reply "Forbes Off" or "Forbes You"?

tons of troll newbies without class have been signing up today.

The lastest "investment" from George Soros must have hit the streets.

There always has to be a limit. The superbowl images are beyond it, somewhere.

But I liked the "not that [stuff] again" graphic. IMHO, it hit the limit, without going over.

I think JJ crossed the line. No one expected during a family show to see nudity. It's not even a family show anymore based on the commercials and halftime.

Never before in the history of mankind has a single breast launched so many threads.

[Neets]

Sure!

I live for hunting trolls...GENUINE TROLLS.

[JOE6PAK]

I saw NOTHING wrong with the Halftime FLAP!

Darryl posts as Admin Moderator. Glad we cleared that up.

[Dog Gone]

Don't forget that we can't post articles from Conde Nast publications

Egad, who would want to?

The Abuse button IS your FRiend. Works for me. :-]
