How about asking John to set up a sidebar category that only the Moderators could assign topics to labeled "Important Threads" or something similar.

You guys see something that everyone should be aware of, edit it and add it to that Topic. Take it out when it is old news. Right now the Breaking News category is about useless.

John-John crashes, its news once. The next three hundred threads on that or M. Jackson or that guy that killed his wife in Modesto aren't really news....they are crap.

Did I, or did you not understand my reply?

Were you not justifying duplicate posts as being alright?

It would be different if the original poster had the ability to amend (or append to) the lead article with new details.

Contrary to popular belief, the AR button isn't just for abuse. You can ping the AM to amend to original post if you'd like. Doesn't mean they'll do it, never hurts to ask, though.

Yeah, someone PM-ed me with that info. However, that is WAY too much effort, and if it was used to append to every post, support for it would quickly be dropped for obvious reasons. What is needed is a feature (like virtually every bit of Forum software out there) to allow the poster to append to or perhaps ammend his original post.

On your profile page? Go to your profile, select the "Links" tab, at the bottom of the page it will say "You can edit this page" which is underlined--it's a link. It will take you to a page that allows you to add and remove your bookmarks.

What about stuff that I pick up on another board and they don't source?

Just "chip" all Freepers. They interface with their mouse for authentication, and just give em a "ZAP" when they post a vanity.

For the children's sake, doncha know...

Each and every time a conservative starts whining, I tell them to come here. Freepers set the record straight.
