[history]
There have been way too many vanities lately. The news forum is being overrun with them. We have been spending a lot of time moving them to the General Interest ("Chat") forum. With the increased volume we have seen with the war starting, we have been missing mail and other moderator duties, such as zots. So, here's some guidelines for vanities. Of course, there are exceptions to these guidelines. We have seen some great vanities.
Vanities are never posted in breaking news. Exceptions will be from valid news sources where breaking news is happening immediately. Such as 'CNN just reported Baghdad has been overrun by coalition forces'. Or, 'Fox reports that WMD have been discovered in Saddam's palace by embedded reporter'.
Your one line vanites, for the most part can be posted as a comment on an existing thread. If you want to post a one line vanity, post it in the chat forum. One line vanities consist of but are not limited to, 'Did you just hear that guy on KASD?'. Or, 'Does anyone know where that thread is about that women who said something about chemical weapons'. They will be deleted unless they are posted in the chat forum.
Most emails are not valid sources of news. Who knows where they originated from. They will be deleted unless they are posted in the chat forum.
Most humor threads should go to the chat forum, unless they are relevent to current events and news. Jokes and 'caption this' are also included. They will be deleted unless they are posted in the chat forum.
Freep this polls will be moved to chat depending on their revelance to current events.
Thanks for helping. Free Republic is growing faster than ever right now!

I can't wait until Jim assigns PM's, these AM's are getting on my nerves! Of course if the AM's had PM's, they would be even worse! I think PM's are a much more sedate group. At least I hope so. These AM's need a few bars of Xanax or something.

Am I logged in? How can I tell? And how do I log out and how can I tell? How do I know if I'm logged out? Can I log in and log out and log back in again if I never leave Freerepublic? What does "series" mean? How about "hugh?" Do I have enough time to take a shower? Why are paragraphs my friends?

What?
To: Admin Moderator
Could you make it where the tag line will accept more words, please? I couldn't fit "religion" or "marital status" in there.

I have 29 entries to this vanity post, "Way Too Many Vanities [Updated]" on my "My Comments" page. Could you do something about that? It's cluttering up my screen.

Do the AdminModerators split the night shift, or does one of you always get stuck with that? Inquiring minds want to know...

All you have to remember, it's AM's fault.
To: Admin Moderator
Dang, you're never around. I always have to rely on AM. Sheesh.

The only thing we can do is suggust you don't post on or get pinged to this thread. The software limitations do not let us modify self search. Sorry about that chief. (30?)
