To All Posters of Articles, News, and Announcements, etc:
For the duration of the war on Iraq, we would like to reserve the "Breaking News" category for news items that are pertaining to truly breaking news stories. Please post other news stories to Front Page, Editorial, Extended, or News categories as appropriate.
For the time being, please post announcements or news of rallies, chapter events, radio shows, TV shows and other items that are normally allowed in breaking news to Activism, Announcements, Free Republic, News, State categories, etc., as appropriate.
Please try to keep vanity posts or personal posts to a minimum or post them to the appropriate topics in the General Interest forum.
(notice that I did not post this announcement in breaking news)
Thanks very much for your continued support in this effort to keep our news forum focused on the news and for making Free Republic the premier conservative news forum on the planet.
Jim

A let's roll bump. Don't forget to fly your flags when the fur flies. (And I know, a lot of us never took them down since 911).

I would anticipate a lot of "war-related" threads in the very near future that would qualify as breaking news. We sure don't stuff like "Did Ya See Hannity Just Slam That Liberal On Fox!!" in Breaking News. Not that that's a bad thing

My flag was up before 911! We have been flying one for 7 years daily.
God bless our troops!

I suggest that you put a notice at the top of the forum page reminding everyone to post only really breaking news.

WILCO - thanks for giving us a home Jim. In times like these I don't really know what we would do without this place.

Good idea. Lately, we've looked more like FNC where every story is an alert or breaking story.

While bumping this I'd like to offer a suggestion for a software enhancement. There should be a category available to you and the moderators that will keep announcements at the top without the need for constant bumping.
