Your Attention, Please [Regarding Keywords]

[Admin Moderator]

Is this thing on? Plug in that cord over there. Yes that one. NO NOT INTO THAT PLUG yes that one. Thanks. Testing 1 2 3.

Hi everyone. Your friendly neighborhood AM here.

Keywords. You've seen them. You love them. Maybe you have even abused them.

Please don't abuse keywords. There are children in China doing without keywords.

Seriously, do not use the add keywords feature as a way to anonymously slam someone. Keyword abuse can result in any of the following:

1) Having who added what keyword be revealed at the whim of sadistic moderators, such as myself.

2) Suspension of posting privileges

3) Banning, if it is really really bad or if warnings are ignored,

4) I can't really say, but if you saw Johnny Dangerously, you would know what might happen. Same thing as if you let something come between, you know, and you.

We now send you back to your regularly scheduled Freeping.

PS: Whatever you do, don't press the red button.

Hi mom!

I did not know it was possible to abuse a keyword. Can you abuse tag lines too?

Now, now, don't up and pull a Ritter on us.

[Little Ms. FReepette]

You need some series restrant my friend!

But it is not for flaming, and it is a type of humor best done occasionally and rarely and not at all redundantly. Or repetitively for that matter.

So many rules. So little time to follow them all.

I never pay attention to them. I never search based on them. I barely realize they serve any purpose at all. I'll be sure to use them with great care. I feel the appropriate shame now.

That tagline isn't abuse....just a fact.

[Maedhros]

Of course you still love me.

To paraphrase Keyshawn Johnson:

"If people don't like me, they must have something wrong with themselves."

;-)

[kAcknor]

Dang, I never abused keywords, looks like I missed out on a lot of fun.

I've never done it either. But now I feel very left out as if I missed something important.

Moderator, do you think it would be OK to abuse THIS one? Huh? Just a little? Please? ;)

Nawp. Teddy was driven to drink.

Hey, "driven to drink," get it? It's a pun, see? "Drink," as in water, and "drink," as in whiskey. Whoa, "whiskey and water", I made another one...AH! AAHHAH! AAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!

Sorry.

[jammer]

Must be that "H" woman or the guy from California. They seem to run crying to mommy about 10 times a day.

[Focault's Pendulum]

.being blonde is such a handicap....

Your being blonde has never deterred me from thinking of you in terms of my tag line.

Now I'm in trouble.

[ErnBatavia]

I'm just sittin' here wondering if this is going to make life HARDER or EASIER on Servo....???

[areafiftyone]

But I have keywords downloaded on my puter (I often print keywords and send them to other keywordphelias around the country) are the police going to raid my home and take my puter? Am I considered a keywordphelia - cause if I am I really need some help - ITS A DISEASE YOU KNOW!!!

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

What are you talking about? Can you say it once again in English (or Spanish)? thank you.

[ThomasMore]

FARGON KEYWORDS can get you in trouble. Just ask ROMAN MORONEY.

[Ligeia]

I love keywords. I think they're a valuable asset to the research that goes on at FR. Unfortunately, there seems to be only about 20 threads per keyword allowed per keyword, so if there are 1,000 posts with the keyword "Iraq," only the last 20 show up when you click on "Iraq." Any possibility of the "click to see more posts" link can be added like at the bottom of the other pages?

There are times when I click on a keyword and the latest thread that comes up is from back in July, nothing recent and there are definitely recent additions. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a more effective keyword search that I'm unaware of? TIA

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Hey, wait a minute.

[babaloo999]

Stealing someone's tagline, I tried to enter in the keywords 'oldsmobile submarine commander' for a Ted related thread, but alas, it was too long. Seriesly.

[Thane_Banquo]

The Mods are not kidding on this; I got in trouble over keywords once.

A keyword bit my sister once.

And some have the temerity to claim that Admin Moderators don't have a sense of humor.
