Cheap laughs, absolutely not. No need for that. However, the occasional piece like this or this might work.

The key is quality. Crap must not be allowed to stay, or even be entered, into this new and important sidebar.

There are two EXTREMELY high quality posters who's submissions will be amazing: nathanbedford and JohnHuang2. There are others, of course, but these two spring to mind.

That gets an amen from this corner. After skimming tbe "Breaking News", my daily routine is to check what nathanbedford has to say. There are, of course, many smart guys in this room but he's at or near the top of that list.

GREAT IDEA!

From a recent "Day by Day" cartoon:

Why's Damon doing journalism again?

Boredom.

Nobody ELSE is.

From the AM: ...expose establishment corruption? Here is your platform.

This here is where special grassroots diligence from ANY and ALL of us can be brought to bear...and bare the GoP-e! Time for a series of tea parties! Rebellion is BREWing!

And the two articles I linked to, in #61, while they may have the quality that this sidebar is requiring, THIS article I would not even submit. The quality is too low and the humor is too base.

This is not the place to post articles that are only intended to shock, even in humor.

Of course, if the purpose of the sidebar is not to have any humor at all, I will certainly abide. The moderators will be my guide here.

we want to bring a new level of activism, the citizen investigator. In the spirit of 1750’s The Pennsylvania Gazette published by Ben Franklin and of Andrew Breitbart.

Sounds good. Just hope folks provide some sources and/or evidence for their info.

...how about these items to serve as filtering mechanism?

Only those with sufficient tenure can post the initial article. Along with the born on date, perhaps limit this privilege to those who have actually engaged in discussions. This is to avoid the troll, the disruptive elements, blog pimps and the hit-and-run poster.

Since posting an article in this new forum is a special privilege, a check might be performed to limit it to those who have donated to FR. This gets rid of the freeloaders and ensures those who have a genuine stake in this site submit an article.


I second these excellent ideas by re_nortex. Would hate to have professional pols using the site only as a campaign stop for propaganda.

Yes.

And now to quote Ronald Reagan:

"There is no limit to what you can accomplish if you don't care who gets the credit."

I agree with reply#48 by re_nortex in order to prevent abuse.

Just a teensy suggestion from the peanut gallery?

We need a “like” button along with “[ Post Reply | Private Reply | View Replies | Report Abuse]” IMHO. What say you?

This would be for things that you agree with but not necessarily have an opinion to write about.

FWIW.
 
Right next to this thread is a vanity that I thinks qualifies for FReepered.
