Posting guidelines?
Me ^ | 9/14/2011 | Me

I'm having trouble finding any FR posting guidelines showing which sites may be excerpted, which are link-only and so on.

I would have thought adding a link to that information on the page that appears when you hit "Post" would be a no-brainer, but I sure don't see anything like that.

I've seen people referencing such guidelines quite a bit, but I've never found 'em.


TOPICS: Chit/Chat; Computers/Internet; Hobbies; Miscellaneous
KEYWORDS: freerepublic; guidelines; posting; question
Could someone point me in the right direction?

Aha! Thank you very much!

I humbly suggest that these be put somewhere a bit more accessible and official!

That link to the copyright list is included in the keywords at the very top of the forum. If something you want to post is not on that list, then you likely don’t need to excerpt it. :-)

Don’t remember how I got it.

Maybe someone here can help with that.

Good luck

Thanks for asking this question and for the link that came from TribalPrincess2U. I had a thread about Chaz Bono with around 40 posts pulled recently because it was deemed as “chat.” Other threads on that same topic were allowed in ‘News/Activism.’ Not complaining, just confused.

Just post a few times and you will get all kinds of unsolicited advice!

This is useful for thread posters as well.

Help us out, please search before posting an article.
