Your Attention, Please [Regarding Keywords]

[Admin Moderator]

Is this thing on? Plug in that cord over there. Yes that one. NO NOT INTO THAT PLUG yes that one. Thanks. Testing 1 2 3.

Hi everyone. Your friendly neighborhood AM here.

Keywords. You've seen them. You love them. Maybe you have even abused them.

Please don't abuse keywords. There are children in China doing without keywords.

Seriously, do not use the add keywords feature as a way to anonymously slam someone. Keyword abuse can result in any of the following:

1) Having who added what keyword be revealed at the whim of sadistic moderators, such as myself.

2) Suspension of posting privileges

3) Banning, if it is really really bad or if warnings are ignored,

4) I can't really say, but if you saw Johnny Dangerously, you would know what might happen. Same thing as if you let something come between, you know, and you.

We now send you back to your regularly scheduled Freeping.

PS: Whatever you do, don't press the red button.

Hi mom!

That's "once bit my sister."

[ofMagog]

Can't we all just get along.

But, it is OK to shoot those who use "alot" as one word?

[anniegetyourgun]

You should be reported for spamming.

My guess is that DEATH TO MODERATOR didn't go over too well. But I must say it's too bad TED KENNEDY IS FAT can't be used cause there are probably alot of good posts that keyword could be used on.........

Is Nukeuler a keyword? I promise I won't hold it against the President, who abused it more than I can count. Now that I have that out of my system, What the heck are we talking about? I need examples I can understand. And then there is the tag line issue, we used to coulda do a tag line easy, as in, it was part of the preferences, now you gotta know what you are doing, which is why I haven't had my tag line in three years. Butt hey, I'll get over it, or some kind tag line artist will freepmail me, then again...remember all that time following one of the software upgrades when "ALL" was not a recognized entity? Sign me "never met a keyword I recognized".

Cool! I made the lits*!!

(*note - Lits is internet speak for 'List'...)

[WaterDragon]

That's a good idea....to add your screen name as a keyword. Would it be legit?

Seriously, do not use the add keywords feature as a way to anonymously slam someone.

Does this include using them as a substitute for argument? Or as an implicit slam on someone for the choice of material solely or primarily chosen to spark discussion that he or she has made? And if not, in either case, why not?

And why do I find it hard to think that anyone really gives a damn about this? Especially when a piece doesn't hew to the prevailing viewpoints around here?

Awwwwwww, did they pick on Llewellyn? Here's a Band-Aid for his boo-boo.

[TruthNtegrity]

Now that I've learned that a reader can add keywords to a post - oh, the things I can think about doing.

This is just all too much fun.

[BlueLancer]

"...And if not, in either case, why not?"

And, if so, in neither case, why? And, if not so, in neither case, why so not so? And, if so, in either case, why not so so? And, if so not, in either neither case, does a Møøse sh*t in the woods?

Answer: only if it can't find the porta-potty.

[Apple Pan Dowdy]

All your keywords are belong to us moderator.

[Redcloak]

Not that I'm being overly competative or anything, but could you sort that list by user?

: )

[GoreIsLove]

aren't you a clever bugger

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Kathy? Is that you?

[Elenya]

HELP! My name is Elenya and I'm a keywordoholic.

[Elenya]

What did he say? Dang, I missed it!
