Why did my post on the Wash Post Daily Tracking Poll get pulled? IT has not been posted here today and if it has it does not contain the words wash post or poll in a sentence so it can not be searched My search terms where: ABC/WashPost, ABC Poll(which came up a poll but had different numbers), Wash. Post Poll, Wash Post poll, Washingtom Post Poll. None of those search terms came up with TODAYS thread on the daily tracking poll. So what Gives?
I would really like to know? I searched as is proper and the poll does not come up.
It was posted already.....ambrose posted it.
One, I have no idea what thread you are referring to.
Two, try private mail next time.
Three, we're very busy. The election is very close.
No wonder I couldnt find it. It doesnt contain the word poll or wash post or abc as stand alone words. it is impossible without knowing that the name of the poll was abbreviated for posting purposes to abc/wp when it has almost universally always been wash. post or abc/ washpost. How aggravating.
Its always best to stop digging when you find yourself in a hole. Now tell the AM your sorry....and maybe he won't zot you.
Sorry, bad ettiquette,plus I didnt know you could be reached through that method. Also I was irritated at the fact that performing a thoruogh search came up with nothing using the general search terms for the poll that have worked in the past.
Whoever posted today's didn't label the headline very well. But it's usually safe to assume that as soon as they release their poll, at least three FReepers will immediately post it. I could almost swear that there're a couple of FReepers camping the WP polls daily :-D...
Why would he zot me? He can zot the thread for all I care, but I have been a good and faithful freeper since my first registration.
Sorry for asking, but what are zots and pings? i'm new to the lingo.
Yes you are.....you all do a great job.
Thats what has me to'd. Its from the washington post and it is a poll those two should be in the title in some acceptable manner not wp or missing the entire word poll.
While you're up can you get me a beer?
Thanks. And you're in no risk of being zotted.
True, and you're not about to get zotted. I have heard rumors that the Viking Kitties are not responsible for collateral damage, though, which is why I'm a monthly donor of a dollar a day + a bag of catnip.
So far, so good.
A ping ,I think, is when someone includes you in a new posting to bring it to your attention. You would get a RED message saying new mail to you. Go to your mail or comments to find it. A zot is a terrible thing to behold my friend. When a person or persons becomes rowdy, order must be restored. Stand back when that happens!! you don't want any on you.
here's the ABC poll:
