Oh sweetie, I don't have what it takes to be a mod.

Namely, a request to be one. 8^P

Sheesh. Here, let me change the way I worded it.

[hellinahandcart]

LOL. No, it was posted publicly when the moderators outed themselves.

"Puritannical brigade "

May an army of pilgrims wearing black hats and large belt buckles haunt your dreams.

Aw man, I didn't have a clue that could happen and I enjoy occasionally posting a picture to accentuate a point. Considering my teen-aged daughter sometimes freeps, I consider this knowledge a good thing.

[Tijeras_Slim]

I don't know if I want outed Mods... I think International Mods of Mystery is better.

[William Terrell]

You know you generate bad karma every time you post a picture of that hag, don't you? Do it twice and you reincarnate as a rock.

[goodnesswins]

No one FORCED you onto this thread.....sheesh.

[wattsmag2]

Yeah, but the rest of us turn to stone just by seeing it. bleh

I changed the wording to this:

So please do us a favor, and yourself a favor too since others might think that you intended to post whatever graphic ends up being displayed, and avoid rotten.com when posting to Free Republic.

And if you want to still give them your traffic by visiting their site despite the fact that they hate your guts, that is your own business and I really couldn't care less.

Hopefully your Wheaties will have less of an aftertaste now.

Glenn, throw the cereal away and try this. I picked out a blue one just for you.

I question the wisdom of posting any images from rotton.com to begin with. Or, for that matter Ogrish or any other similiar sites.

As informational sources, these sites have their purpose, As for their content, they are what they are. However, it is obvious Rotton.com plays dirty pool with us. On that alone, posters should refrain from using that site as a source for threads.

And if you want to still give them your traffic by visiting their site despite the fact that they hate your guts, that is your own business and I really couldn't care less.

The fact that they COULD lock out FR referrals with their .htaccess file shows they are malicious.

For example, on my sites, I do that to Angelfire, Geocities, etc. to prevent deep linking. I do not have to swap the files for pr0n, etc.

Or, if you REALLY want to post one of their pictures, copy it and put it on another server machine that you control. Personally, after looking at a list of what they're offering I can't imagine ever wanting to steal any of their material.

I like advise like this --- it's good to know. I've had good wholesome news sources change a picture I posted because they changed the one they had for a url address to another picture. Then I'm sure everyone thinks I'm high or something because the picture I posted makes no sense.

It's good advice to upload the picture to another server especially one you have control over.

Was it a split image, with a dead woman on the left, body decaying and blood running out of her mouth, and a scene on the right that looked like the aftermath of a massive shooting or suicide bombing, with text that said "I am a corpse loving neo-nazi gun freak"?

That was it.

[MosesKnows]

Rotten.com has this habit of changing images posted to FR to be something particularly nasty

Why?

[gatorbait]

You work at West Point?

See above. I found the image in my cache and updated the body of the thread.
