fr-mailing the Admin-Mod would be a good place to start...You were slapping it around. Calling it names. Not good.
Rule 0. Whatever floats the mods’ boat.
t. frequent victim of such on other sites with abusive moderation on occasion
More info, please.
Any clues that you can give us?
Was it a blog?
Blogs are bad.
Was it the thread about that fat Sports Illustrated girl?
Put it Chat. Then you can get a “TRASH” or “SERIOUSLY???GET A LIFE” reason...some of the excuses they use.
This should be in bloggers.
Quit abusing the chat forum.
That's because people here like me.
fr-mailing the Admin-Mod would be a good place to start...If you want a better explanation from the mods, I’d suggest sending them a FReep mail and ask.
Why don’t you contact the person that counts
instead of chatting on the forum?
Contact Webmaster: jimrob@psnw.com
fellow FReeper at least you’re given a response with a reason. Many of us others have their threads (and posts) pulled often without ANY explanation.
The current group of Free Republic Moderators don’t seem interested in attracting any newer, younger supporters of this website, instead appear more interested in keeping FR more of a “closed shop”. It wouldn’t have been thought of as possible 15 years ago that many of us would abandon Drudge, and even Fox News, and yet that’s what’s happening. I hope that doesn’t happen here.
If something is posted by a volunteer poster (who may be from one of many age and skill groups) in ‘news,’ and somebody thinks it should be in ‘front page news’ or ‘chat’ or ‘philosophy’ or ‘silly cat pictures’, then that somebody should just move it.
Easy Peasy. No longtimer feelings hurt. No confusion. No ‘why me’ posts.
And no volunteer posters interpreting it as permission to keep their $100 donations in their pockets for a quarter or two, or waste their volunteer time looking up articles to post to fill dead space in a volunteer forum, them being a volunteer and all. It’s all about perspective. Just sayin’
Don’t worry about the arbitrary rules that are unreasonably forced at times. However, they still have their hand out for donations so make sure you max out the credit card because they need to pay their personal rent.
Like the new language they are coming out with. it means what the speaker wants it to mean at that particular point in time. Tomorrow or with another speaker, the definitation can change.
Abuse the news forum you should not...Yoda
