Moderators: What are the rules for posting? (Vanity)
freerepublic.com ^ | 7/15/2009 | ME

Posted on 07/15/2009 6:23:03 AM PDT by Red in Blue PA

I post many items here, from business to politics and evrything in between, and sometimes entertainment as a nice distraction from all of the corrupt politicians. Recently I tried to post an article about a supermodel who is pregnant. I thought it was a mistake after it was pulled the first time, but it was pulled a second.

What is so objectionable to this news item? And is there a place we can look for a set of rules, as I have seen much worse than this posted int he past.

What you and the mods do behind closed doors in none of my business.

(Please God, let our mods have a sense of humor)

Truth be told, 100+ posts later, no one has called me for BS on my statement. (Yes, the mods have turned my tail red before)

I think the 1st was simply “no thanks”. When I posted it a second time (as I thought it had been pulled by mistake) it was “please do not post pulled info”

Well you know why it was pulled the second time then don't you? A nice clear reason. The first reason is clear also. They are tired of all the non-political stuff being posted lately or one of the mods just didn't feel that your article was tasteful or whatever. Pretty easy to figure out. "No Thanks" means they don't want that type of article or that particular article. I had one pulled about 3 years ago with the No Thanks reason. I accepted it and didn't try to post it again. After all you have to remember, this is Jim Thompson's site and he can allow whatever he wants. It isn't like you pay a membership fee or pay to post articles.

"...this is Jim Thompson's site and he can allow whatever he wants..."

LOL!!!!
I'm not even going to touch the end of that one-——I'll be banned for sure.

I hope you know that I was not reporting you. I only pinged the mods because I made a corny joke at their expense. Hope it did not come across that way.

You said — He should have changed the title to read “Supermodel Chooses Life Over Abortion”

Well now..., there’s one rule that all FReepers should be aware of... °no changing titles* from what they are originally printed as (in the article)...

That’s definitely a rule violation... LOL...

From the FR do not post list:

These publishers have asked us not to allow any material at all to be posted to FR:

how about that. Doesn’t make any sense for them to do that, but okay.

That’s a shame, Bloomberg usually has some good info that the rest of the financial press won’t cover.

Some publishers are very anal that way.
