When people post stories they do a search (by a few words in the title) to see if it has been posted before.
If people don't use the original title then you end up with huge numbers of duplicates, drastically lower the quality of this site. The moderators are left with more work, and worse, they can't even fix it because they can't search properly either. It would be lame chaos.
"the content did not match the published article and the link matched neither the title nor the content."
What are you talking about?!? Almost all my content was direct quotes from the article. I used a different title because the biased AFP headline did not include the most important fact that 2/3rd of NOLA police officers are missing.
Yes that is what is required. If you have comments put them in ()s beside the actual title.
Blum said that since Thursday some 7,000 National Guard and military police had moved into the city.
So Nagin lied. Then he cried.
At the time he made that statement the NG already had 5 times his full strength police force in the city.
While I can understand how some officers could not get to work, and others would take care of their family first, I can't understand why the governor refused to declare an emergency till Saturday, and why Nagin did not ask for state troopers when his guys didn't show up.
We don't care.
Obey the rules.
And, FGS, stop whining.
Dear fellow Freepers. We all must be prepared to survive and provide for our families for a minimum of one week without any kind of outside aid or assistance from anyone. For some of us this will be easy, for others it will require a deal of study and preparation. But do it now!
All Americans should make the same preparations but they won't. Freepers are more intelligent, informed and imaginative and therefore more willing to accept a word from the wise.
Dismissal is about all you can do.
You're getting much more attention than you deserve. Pipe down.
Where people attain high office through corrupt means, you can't exepect to have good people in office.
It's not that bad, really. Just don't editorialize, or change the title of the article you're posting. This has been posted numerous times on posting primers by the mods.
I'm broadcast live in front of a pre-recorded studio audience.
My post wasn't addressed to you so why don't you butt out, or are you a moderator wannabe?
The last time I posted on FR, there were no such rules. This site is becoming just like the left-wing sites with their ham-fisted censorship.
You either cannot read or you have no common sense or...
Either follow FR's posting rules, or don't post and please refrain from telling a MOD that what you do, is better than following the rules here. Next thing we know, you'll be yelling at Jim and telling him how to run FR, I guess.
If you don't want someone else to reply, make it private. BTW, you're about to get spanked by a pro.
Hey we're all a little grumpy and stressed lately, but we're all on the same team so how about picking a battle elsewhere.
There are really very good reasons for the rules, maybe you shouldn't throw a tantrum just because you don't understand them yet.

Those have always been the rules.
Don't like it? You're free to leave the way you came in.
The last time?
