This morning a post was pulled regarding the discovery of Mastadon bones in maybe Indiana. The reason cited for pulling it was "chat".
I don't get it. The article was NOT a vanity; it was a published news article. Things like that are interesting and should be allowed.
For God sake, they let a letter jumble puzzle be posted every morning.
Does FR have a defined criteria as what is allowed and what is not.
This kind of thing has happened more than once.
Yes, it is Robinson's site and he can do what he wants, but to me this is really annoying.
Sorry, once I saw that description, I never went there. They have Clodia Pulcher, we have Lazamataz. Which is the more entertaining place to be?
Just look at the categories(topics) when posting. Under General/Chat, you have Science. Under News/Activism, there’s no good category fit for an article on archaeology.
Go figure.
Yes, but Jonah, the traitorous Never Trumper lives on
I will do that. Thanks.
For years they allowed those daily devotionals from fraudster Joel Osteen and if that wasn’t bad enough, no one was allowed to comment on the thread that was critical of the huckster. Glad those days are over.
Get over yourself. Just because you consider it important doesn’t make it so. Just like this thread.
.....
The OP was not rude in his question, you, however, are. Why the need to be a jerk?
I wonder if Mods can move things to "Chat".
I'll ask.
Why did you post this under “News” instead of “Chat”?
Good idea. I will do that in the future.
Normally, I have low blood pressure.
Baloney. I had a news article pulled within minutes of posting, then two days later someone else posted the same article in the same forum from the same source. It was left up and got over 200 comments. There’s no rhyme or reason to it. They do it because they can.
How can we know that Jonah is a never-Trumper when there are ZERO postings of his available, even though he’s been here since 1998?
BTW Bert, many of the graphics on your homepage have lost their link and are now broken.
The following is from FR homepage. There really are no guidelines on educational, scientific or other ‘news items’. Sorry that I missed the thread.

“Does FR have a defined criteria as what is allowed and what is not.”
Yeah, anything except articles about old Mastodon bones./sarc
The mods are Larry, Moe & Curly. One will bop you on the head and the other says, woop woop woop.
We hired them under union contract, so they get 3 hour breaks per day.
Each mod graduated cum laude from Wharton School of Finance and Persnickety Jargon. That is Trump’s school for you Never Trumpers.
My error.
