"AUNTHARRIET; BOWTIEDPOPINJAY; CALLTHEWAAAAMBULANCE; CRAPNOMINATION; GEORGEFWILL; HARRIETTMIERS; MIERSLIARS; WILLNAILSIT;

Keyword abuse by both sides of the Miers debate. And to repeat my earlier question, where is the policy that restricts keywords to search terms, so that I make sure I (and others) don't violate it accidentally?"

When I started the thread, the only keywords I entered were: BOWTIEDPOPINJAY; GEORGEFWILL; HARRIETTMIERS.

Did I violate a rule?

Evidently so, Checky, based upon the keywords now left.

Mr. Robinson, I appreciate your prompt response, which was helpful. And I certainly understand 'spamming,' and what constitutes vulgarity, generally, but I'm curious: what constitutes 'spamming' as far as keyword abuse is concerned? Of course, it's your baby, so I'm just askin', but is this keywording restriction basically just intended to limit keywords to encyclopedic style subject and pinglist lookups? 'Cause that'd be a clear enough rule to work with in my book...even though I'd still personally prefer a keyword free-for-all as long as the keywords are not actually vulgar or otherwise on the short list of ways to get a post deleted.

But like I said, FR=JimRob's baby, not mine. I try to play by the rules. I just want to make sure I don't cross `em if they're out there.
