Why are some articles posted, but there is no way to add a comment?
Yuck—SB “I often don’t comment when I put up a post and others are still able to answer.”
With a hint of perplexity.

Is your shower running?
I’ve seen several of those too. I usually hit the “Report abuse” button and alert the mods. Maybe they cab shed some light on this subject.
Smothered in secret sauce.
Another site I chat on (sports related) uses upvotes and downvotes, and each user has a running point total. You get a point for every post you make, upvoting others costs you nothing, downvoting others costs you one point.
Point totals show longevity and frequency of posting, but the negbangs also help the board moderate itself. The truly abusive are hit pretty hard...they tend to leave or adjust their tone a bit.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
Is this thing on?
Hello?
Hello?
We’ll “put all the options on the table”,
“monitor the situation closely”, and once
a determination is made, “go the distance”.
I personally can’t post stories from heraldnet.com. I just have to deal with it. Last week was a terrific article about a huge food stamp fraud bust in downtown Everett. Freepers would have wanted to read it. I did post it to Twitter. Search “A-1 Smoke and Grocery Everett WA”
Ever wonder why the fund raisers take so long? Could it be the “self-important”, self appointed blog police such as yourself make people think twice about donating?
Shery,
I’ve noticed that if a thread gets moved from one forum to another, then you get the top of the first page when you try to post a reply. Just scroll down to the message to which you were replying and try again.

Its a mystery.
Wrapped in an enigma
and obscured by a conundrum
Wrapped in a Twinkie
Tucked inside a puzzle.

And I thought it was a “Riddle” ?
That only happens when someone has comment #1 yanked by the Mods. That usually happens because someone tried to skirt the “must excerpt” rules by posting material beyond the required excerpt in post #1.
**Wrapped in a Twinkie.**
Beat me to it.
Because you are on double secret probation.
Never ask the Mods questions. There are a few who take that as questioning their authoritah and will treat you like a cop dealing with a civilian sitting on the curb in handcuffs. Stand by for a Maglite Migraine.
Have you noticed a greater number of posts with profanity recently ?
I have.
Right - that too but people usually write their opinions on a post anyway.
