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!

When will keywords find something besides the first 20 threads that used them? It would be nice to find current threads instead of just old threads with keywords.

I see we're thinking along the same lines.

My rule-of-thumb is that it is easier to get forgiveness, than to get permission. :)

What are you talking about? Can you say it once again in English (or Spanish)? thank you.

Perhaps you could buy the book.

[Redcloak]

Are you suggesting that the Admin Moderator ZOT himself?!

When will keywords find something besides the first 20 threads that used them? It would be nice to find current threads instead of just old threads with keywords.

More importantly, when will we give up on the totally useless keywords idea and go back to bump-lists, of which the remaining ones continue to be used constantly?

I usually do my slamming in a far more subtile manner. If I link to an external source I always choose creative window names in order to make the link open an another window^.

[Johnny Gage]

whew... nearly got myself adding keywords.. this is more difficult than I thought.

HELP!

I've got monty python skit with floating vikings in a diner going around in my head and I can't get it out.

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

Oh...Key words come in a book??????? Life is suddenly becoming difficult.

[anniegetyourgun]

You keep your tag line where it belongs, FP....

[TomServo]

I'm just sittin' here wondering if this is going to make life HARDER or EASIER on Servo....???

Well, neither. I've never payed attention to 'em. I'm sure it'll make the Zotmasters (and other admins) life easier, though.

[Joe Hadenuf]

The rules are already in place regarding abuse. Why post this thread now with a humorous slant? And why the humorous slant regarding abusive activity?

[RichInOC]

Oh, hi there. Didn't mean to preempt you. My bad.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

But, but, but I have the entire Al Gore FR series under "LOCKBOX", "RUNS LIKE A GIRL", "RISKY SCHEME", AND "SORELOSERMAN" ...

[mdittmar]

Keywords are a whisper in the auditorium of FR.

[steveegg]

Would Ted Kennedy driven snow be pure?

No; it would be melted.

[tomkat]

[Johnny Gage]

LOL! Now that's what I call organization

[steveegg]

this one hits a thousand by tomorrow morning

Care to predict an exact time? <VBG>

[Admin Moderator]

To give people a heads up that their adding of keywords may not be as anonymous as they believe right now, and to annoy those who I enjoy annoying.

And the humorous part is because I like using humor, thanks for asking
