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!

[Joe Hadenuf]

The rules are already in place regarding abuse. Why post this thread now with a humorous slant? And why the humorous slant regarding abusive activity?

[RichInOC]

Oh, hi there. Didn't mean to preempt you. My bad.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

But, but, but I have the entire Al Gore FR series under "LOCKBOX", "RUNS LIKE A GIRL", "RISKY SCHEME", AND "SORELOSERMAN" ...

[mdittmar]

Keywords are a whisper in the auditorium of FR.

[steveegg]

Would Ted Kennedy driven snow be pure?

No; it would be melted.

[tomkat]

this one hits a thousand by tomorrow morning

you heard it here first ...

[steveegg]

Try Olds Sub Captain <VBG>

[Johnny Gage]

LOL! Now that's what I call organization

[steveegg]

this one hits a thousand by tomorrow morning

you heard it here first ...

Care to predict an exact time? <VBG>

To give people a heads up that their adding of keywords may not be as anonymous as they believe right now, and to annoy those who I enjoy annoying.

And the humorous part is because I like using humor, thanks for asking

[dirtboy]

to annoy those who I enjoy annoying.

I never wanted to be a moderator, but, now that you put it that way, I might reconsider...

[Focault's Pendulum]

(Stop by the front office to pick up your trophy for most FR threads deleted.)

Surely you can't mean me.

And stop calling me Shirley

[tomkat]

just wait'll the night shift sees this ...

[swarthyguy]

OK, i'll be series here....

Can we put our handle in the articles we post as a keyword? Think its a good idea - make searching easier...

[anniegetyourgun]

I tried searching for this thread using keywords "MEANIE" and "HARSHWORDS", but all I got was stuff on Tom Daschle.

[Hank Rearden]

I thought this thread needed keywords quite badly, but I see they're already all up there at the top.

Bravo, gang.

[MHGinTN]

Hey, gimme a smoke. This could get interestin' ... and series!

[Fred Mertz]

This thread isn't accomplishing what it intended.

[anniegetyourgun]

YOU TOO MAY BE A WEINER!

[Hank Rearden]

Admins kick puppies?

[steveegg]

Humor...it's not just for breakfast anymore.

[theFIRMbss]

>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.

I didn't see that.
I saw 2001.
Are you saying that

if we do abuse
keywords, than the same thing that
happened to the apes

that never caught on
about the uses of bones,
will happen to us?

[twyn1]

I've got monty python skit with floating vikings in a diner going around in my head and I can't get it out.

The SPAM skit ?? -- we've got Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Baked Beans, Spam, Spam, and Spam.

[steveegg]

No smokes here (personal reasons), but light 'em if you got 'em.

[Admin Moderator]

I don't see why not. I am more talking about anonymous flaming than anything else. Although maybe the better solution would be to have "Self-search" give options of just articles or articles+replies?

Or have another field similar to keywords that would be invisible that people could use to tag threads of interest to themselves?

[dirtboy]

This thread isn't accomplishing what it intended.

I dunno, considering that posting a Testing thread generally ends up testing FR's bandwidth.

[Dog Gone]

Keyword abuse of trolls until The Great and Powerful Zot arrives is time-honored tradition at FR, and one that must not be tampered with.

It's our duty.

[Search4Truth]

How about KEYWORD SENSITIVITY?

[steveegg]

Just be thankful that it's not going to be the Friday Night shift...

[swarthyguy]

Sometime one just wants articles without the posts....so if tagged all mine with handle as keyword, one wouldn't have to bookmark them... Just do a search on keyword= and at least the recent ones would popup. Self search option is A-OK as well! Would accomplish the same thing.

[steveegg]

For those about to be Zotted, FIRE!
We salute you.

[twyn1]

Ummmm...honestly, I rarely read the keywords (unless they are mentioned, as in "ROFL--the keywords on this thread are hysterical") and I don't think I have ever used them to do a search

Interesting, and a predictable suspect response. Just thinking out loud, and being humorous :o

Do I sound skeptical, or are you just feeling guilty? Don't worry, I wont expose who you are.

Yes, I am guilty of profiling.

Would Ted Kennedy driven snow be pure?
No; it would be melted.

No, it would be yellow...from all the processed alcohol...

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

but if you saw Johnny Dangerously, you would know what might happen.

People who abuse keywords are fogging iceholes.

Hear, hear! Let us continue to abuse the trolls!

[Focault's Pendulum]

Humor??? You call this humor??

Now this is humor!!!

[narby]

Hold on, while I whip this out....

[Cuttnhorse]

"Monkey Excrement"

Funny, that was the first one to catch my eye.

[tomkat]

would it be ok
if we only use keywords
that are haiku-able

[LayoutGuru2]

Hello,

I am kinda new here. Can someone point me to the FAQ on proper abuse of keywords?

TIA

[Glenn]

For the key word challenged.

[tomkat]

dumbass !
ab.le
?

[Search4Truth]

Welcome to Free Republic. For a good lesson on keyword abuse, just refer to the table of keywords at the beginning of this thread. :)

[Focault's Pendulum]

For the key word challenged.

I prefer to think of myself as handi-keyword-capable.

[Timesink]

Ummmm...honestly, I rarely read the keywords (unless they are mentioned, as in "ROFL--the keywords on this thread are hysterical") and I don't think I have ever used them to do a search.

Bring. Back. Bump. Lists. PLEASE!

I'll even moderate/caretake the bump list page. Anything.

[Timesink]

I am kinda new here. Can someone point me to the FAQ on proper abuse of keywords?

1) Grab keyword.

2) Grab mallet.

3) Smash.

[Flyer]

It's enough to make a grown blue eyed ring-tailed lemur cry.

Perhaps a filter of approved key words is in order.

[Focault's Pendulum]

YOU TOO MAY BE A WEINER!

No one has ever called me that before....I'm tingly all under.

Ok....who's screwing around with my tag line...I'm losing lakas.
