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.

On Friday, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin angrily denounced the slow federal response as too little, too late, charging that promised troops had not arrived in time.

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.

What are the penalties for law enforcement officers who abandon their duties during a situation like this?

Dismissal is about all you can do.

So you're telling me that in order to post an important news story on FR, one has to use the same headline as a biased French news service?!? The title of my thread accurately reflected the content of the story which is that two-thirds of New Orleans' police officers have gone missing.

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.

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.

Blum said that since Thursday some 7,000 National Guard and military police had moved into the city.

That Arthel woman that used to appear sometimes on O'Reilly's show said that her cousin told her that one man in the convnetion center took the weapon away from a National Guardman and killed him with it.

She also said that a man raped and then killed a 7 year old girl. After which 5 guys beat the guy to death. Really unbelieveable behavior.
