You have mentioned a SEARCH to avoid duplicate threads, but you neglected to point out that the original title should remain unaltered.
Many duplicates I see are caused by someone substituting their own title or deliberately corrupting the spelling of words in the title; i.e. Hitlery. Please, Please, Please employ the original title. If you must add to it, then offset your addition with brackets.
This not only helps prevent duplicates, it also makes the archives searchable and potentially useful for research. Respelling people's names to be cute or disrespectful reduces the ability to search the archives and also makes us all sound like babies! </flame>
There is one case where one SHOULD augment the title. This occurs when the story is regional and the state (and sometimes the city) needs to be added in order to let us know where it is from. There are dozens of newspapers called "Chronicle" or "Register", lots of cities named Glendale, and most of us do not recognize TV or Radio call letters. Give us a little help.

Depending on how graphic, we might still have to remove the link. Jim strives to keep this place somewhat family oriented. So, if the graphic is of stands2reason's sister, then it's okay? That'd be family-oriented.
(Just checking.)

Sorry, no sister, though....
The PIQ (picture in question) was a still from a rated R movie.
And it was blurry. So, I think it would have been overlooked.
The point being beyond debate now since I can't find it... *sob*

Don't post from racist sites, white supremacy sites
In other words FreeRepublic.com is a news forum. A conservative news forum.
We're here to discuss the news (especially political news) and issues that are important to us from the conservative standpoint.
no I do not have a list of such sites. Commonsense ought to be guide enough.I am sorry, I was not clear; I was referring to news organizations. Are there others besides The Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post that we are not allowed to post from? And are we allowed to post excerpts from either organization, if so is there any rule of thumb as to how long the excerpts can be? Finally, am I correct in assuming that we can post links to these organizations?
Thanks and sorry I was less then clear with my earlier question.

How about something along the line of "DON'T CHANGE THE TITLE TO SOMETHING LAME THAT DOESN'T HAVE MUCH TO DO WITH THE STORY POSTED"?

Where does one go to simply post a question? For example, WHY does the left pick Mrs. Bush to death? (IMO, she is a terrific First Lady.) Would like to get the opinion of other posters here. Thanks!
