We all hope you enjoy FR, and we want to continue to provide good service to you. It's not always black and white, but, we're not the big bullies either. I'm on the right...Olive, the other Reindeer...

Thank you! Even those of us who have been around for a while need refreshers and updates...

Series Question: What is the allowed excerpt length (in words) for those of us who prefer to do it ourselves?

[Disambiguator]

Thanks for doing this.

I would like to add that I get really tired of all the loosers who don't know the difference between "lose" and "loose".

Still don't see any definition of the difference between 'news' and 'blog news'.

So if a blog posts a story, but the MSM do not cover it for 2 days it is banned from news?

How 'mainstream' must a new source be to be considered 'official' by the mods?

Anyway, the rules are very nice and very strong in the areas they address (how to search, what goes in general as opposed to blogging, how categories work, etc).

Sadly it does not answer how and who makes the decision between 'offical news' and whatever you'd consider the numerous web-only news based sites (my case was Debka, but applies to Memri, Newsmax, CSN, not to mention MEGA-Blogs with HIGH news value like RegimeChangeIran (though they do link to alot of MSM))

I've been 'warned' by others that the rule is: "We use our best judgment and complaining about it will only make it worse... for you" so I've dropped trying to figure out the facts on it.

I just know I won't bother to post Debka, because I've at least figured out that some of the mods move it directly to blogging. No sweat, just won't waste time posting something I find interesting from Debka here.

It would be sweet if the 'rules' listed the sites subject to that 'grey rule' on the page, just like they list which sources are required to be excerpted.

Thank you - information was much appreciated.

...and for the pictures too.

Thanks Olive! With all those rules I'm surprised I'm still able to post lol

You all who keep this site flowing do a remarkable job! This is the best political forum on the 'net, by far! Thank you, thank you JimRob, and thank you freepers all!

OK, I now have seen the absolute final proof that we will win! I dare anybody, ANYBODY over at Daily K, DU_whatever or any of the other "drinking the koolaide" sites to match our moderator. Never have I seen such poise, such beauty and capability. If it came to it, I'd bet my house on her smoking any other steenkin moderator of the opposition.

I mean, those look like match quality pistols and I'd love to see her and her cohorts go through a combat course.

PS you did know that I was talking about her weaponry, right?

[dynachrome]

And may I add: preview, preview, preview your posts.

So ya don't make the mistakes I have made.

Whenever I see women Like you, makes me all warm and fuzzy...
I am proud to be an American.it would be a crime covering you in a burka.

[Nita Nupress]

It's against FR rules to post girly pics and not post guy pics.

Let's not let this happen again or I'll have to pull out the whip.

[Nita Nupress]

And no... Jackie Gleason is NOT eye-candy.

[Toby06]
