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.

This forum is being corrupted with too many nonpolitical discussions. Some variations and fun threads are okay but they have really increased including vanity threads. I’d like to see a $5.00 charge for each vanity.

Maybe the supermodel being pregnant is more for general/chat than news.

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”

I doubt if this would have been pulled if it had been an article on Susan Hasselbeck.

I'm guessing that the subject matter was an issue, then. Why not ask the Mods directly?

I am not sure which mod pulled it, hence the vanity.

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. FR is first and foremost a political news site. It is not meant to be a gossip site. If you want news about pregnant supermodels, watch TMZ.
To: trisham
Sorry, meant Elizabeth Hasselbeck.

Right now there is a thread devoted to MJ, and several others which are decidedly not political news. What are the criteria for not having them pulled?
