The Proper Care and Feeding of the Free Republic Keyword Feature

Posted on 09/20/2006 6:06:39 PM PDT by Admin Moderator

Edited on 09/20/2006 6:54:12 PM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]

The Free Republic keyword feature serves a valuable purpose, it alerts posters to topics that they are interested in and supplements those topics which aren't already listed as available topics.

1. Please do not add words like "and" and "the" to the keywords. And PLEASE do not add every word from your title to the keywords, that's just plain annoying.

2. Please do not use keywords to troll posters. The mods can see who adds keywords and you're only going to get yourself in trouble.

3. Please do not add keywords to bump old theads. The purpose of keywords is to alert posters to current threads about the topic they're interested in. Adding a keyword to a thread from 2003 defeats that purpose.

4. Keywords on troll threads are exempt unless they contain profanity or an obscenity.

5.We are aware of several posters who abuse the keyword feature and we would appreciate it if they would stop.

Thanks.

I removed it but another mod put it back. He will be hearing from me soon.

Also, why is "anthrax" still in the topic section?

In case some one lights the Grail-shaped beacon.

I used to enjoy creating oh-so-clever keyword lists until I got put in time-out for keyword spamming a morfordite thread. I've mended my wicked, wicked ways, but it sure is fun to see what other FReepers can come up with.

Not to change the subject too much, but what happened to the topics?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Agreed on all counts. The only beef I have with the mods is they don't actively participate in the ZOT threads like they used to. Banning to Zotdom is fine, but we used to get some great witticisms from you all......before the final ZOT. Please put your satirical swords back on before you proceed with the inevitable.

Best regards,

sjb

LOL! Now you've gone and done it!
I'll bet this turns into something like the "Ignore this post" thread. lol.

For you newbies. JohnRob once posted a thread saying "Please Ignore the post" when he was testing new software for FR.
If memory serves, almost every FReeper made a reply to that thread. It became probably the least ignored thread ever posted on FR. lol

Okay, that was scary. I went to that thread again, and randomly clicked on the more bizarre & goofy keywords on the list (the ones that really caught my eye) - not ONE, not even ONE of A DOZEN turned up ONE thread only! They ALL had multiple returns! Some of them kept showing up on Pink Triangle threads, others kept showing up on zot threads.

Someone had WAY TOO MUCH TIME on their hands!! :-O

And that is the very last time I will ever spam a keyword.

That is the thread I was looking for (Or at least as good as the one I remembered) where about every key word possible was listed.


thanks.
