Pretty much. I think I'm not understanding your question about forums though, so, let me explain our defination.
A forum is a section on FR. All news stories are in news. All home made stuff from your web site is in bloggers, all news stories that aren't political, suv hits pitbull, any single freepers out there, nigerian lottery, etc, goes in the general/chat forum. Religion stories that are appolitical goes to religion, and stuff that gets out of control goes to the backroom. That's the general guidelines, of course there are always deviations, but that's our basic guideline. We go from there. There are really no set moderating rules because everything is so dynamic, and ever changing. So, we're more than happy to try to work out situations with posters, but, you have to let us know too. There are just too many threads and posts for us to be able to read them all. A heads up is a good thing if you have a question.
Okay, who are you really? I promise not to tell anyone else! ;-)
If I tell you, I'll have to shoot you ;-}
Oh yeah.
the holy grail of FR: a filter for posters!
Robinson's Law: No matter how stupid, provocative, neurotic and silly a post is there will always be a few Freepers present who will feed the nutjob's ego by responding.
One big Thank You!
There's a "cool" mod?
Yeah.
Microsoft was bought by Halliburton and FR is a subsidiary of Halliburton.
Does that make sense?
Gives a whole new definition to "being spanked by the Mod."
When I post an article I assume it will not have to be excerpted. Then I depend on the posting software to tell me, based on the URL I supply, if the article needs to be excerpted.
Nonexcerpted articles can be very important for historical and research purposes because most news sites do not leave articles available indefinitely.
New York Times is excerpted like usual, no special instructions. Our sidebar moderator promised to revise the excerpt only list.......
The other issues are being addressed, can't give you a finalized time on it yet. But, it definately came up several times.
Thanks for the often thankless job ya'll do!
Lots of good stuff on this link
That's the easiest way so far to find it. It's right on top of our profile page.
Ah, now I feel up-to-speed. I also feel old. Thanks. : )
Shhh, it was Red who typed this.
I know mom had a secret. Didn't you?
*Smile*
I would never point it out......except that you're The Mod!
;-)
