Question for Admin Moderator
Posted on 03/05/2009 10:24:29 AM PST by Behind Liberal Lines
So what's the deal now with excerpts now? I see you're editing articles to one or two sentences even if they were excerpted by the poster to begin with.
I thought 300 words was the excerpting standard.
TOPICS: Free Republic Policy/Q&A

I bet it depends on the source. There is a list under help. I hate the 2 sentence posts myself.

If two sentences is the limit, maybe the excerpt button should be limited to that, not 300 words.

I excerpted your New York Post article because you didn’t show that you cut out the middle of the body, and I wanted FReepers to read the article as presented without wondering if you had done any other surgery.

I see the moderator couldn’t answer my question but could take the time to move the thread to chat.

Maybe you should stop your excerpts in the middle of a word.

To: Admin Moderator
So the fact it said “excerpt” is no longer sufficient for the readers to know that? Or the fact that some of the sentences were no longer capitalized?
Gee, that seems awfully picky.
PS. Saw you responded after I complained you hadn’t. Apologies on that point.
To: Behind Liberal Lines
I see the moderator couldn’t answer my question...Wow, that post must be embarrassing with the mod post right above yours..lol...

I post here at different times of day and seems as if some moderators let anything go while others are about as rigid and intolerant as an Ohio social services official to Joe the Plumber.
A little consistency would be nice. Or at least a schedule of when the strict ones are on duty. ;-)

If you leave out the middle, it helps if you put “snip” in between. We used to do that around here, even if we click “excerpt” but I see a lot of people have forgotten it.
