I REALLY need to understand the rules at FR....ADMIN please clarify

Posted on 06/28/2008 5:21:16 AM PDT by dascallie

It appears that I post something --I make sure to INCLUDE its source...it is NOT offensive or obscene--and you immediately remove iit....( in this case a portion of a thread i found illuminating from Hillaryclintonforum.net) this happens constantly....and is very frustrating....the "free" in free republic does not appear to hold---perhaps a clarification of your increasingly rigid rules would help?

The parameters are so narrow some good content is being unilaterally struck....PLEASE EXPLAIN so that i can contribute in a way that allows my points to be seen.

Thank you.

Even if it's titled, "Bikini Model Falls into Vat of Jell-O."

Dang it, don't do that. I just spent 20 minutes searching for that one. Closest I could find was "FReeper Indicted For Fixing Jell-O Wrestling Matches."

Do you realize what the bail cost me for that one?

Can you ping me a link to this one. It sounds very educational.

I think a thread titled, “Bikini Model Rescued from Vat of Jell-O [VIDEO]” would get even more hits. Just navel-gazing, of course.

I think pissant is probably the resident expert on how many hits a thread like that could expect.

How can you be here for nearly 4 years and not know how to post an article?

In fact, you don’t need to be here any length of time at all. If you open up the new thread form, it’s self explanatory. Look at the field headings.

If you still have any doubt as to how to post an article, look at the way others have posted articles.

dunno....maybe because I very rarely have posted in all that time...I have not studied the user experience.

I have noticed however, that my posts have been automatically removed for obscure reasons at times—it has been frustrating in the past, still not clear why some posts disappear.

But thanks very much for the unsolicited flogging. You’re a gent.

OK. Sorry. I get a bit cranky at times. I’ll be glad to help you through this.

OK. First of all, find out if your threads were deleted or merely moved to a different forum.

1. Click the “ping” tab at the top of the page.

2. Click the “all pings” tab.

3. Scroll down and look for your threads.

You might find that a thread you posted in one forun was moved to another. For instance, a thread you posted in “News” was moved to “chat.”

If you can’t find some of them, then they were deleted.
