Jim, would it be possible to put a link to this list in a prominent place, like at the top of the "Posting new thread" screen? And preferably a straightforward up-to-date list, rather than a long thread with new additions to the list buried in it. As far as I can tell, there's no way to find this list, unless you remember part of the the thread title (and for all I know, this isn't the most recent official thread on the topic), or by e-mailing Admin Moderator.
I added it to my IE Favorites and open a second window for it when I need it. I gather the list at the beginning is updated.
The link to this article is at the top of Admin Moderator's profile page. That's how I find it when I need to.

This entire thing sounds like an administrative boondoggle that just wastes a lot of time for you but also every poster. I’m wondering if there is a way to avoid this by automating the process (and if some of this is already happening, I apologize)..... It might take some effort and perhaps the time has passed for some of this but let’s assume that we’re back in time at a place before any media complained. On the FreeRepublic homepage, there is a note that says that on this site, anything and everything is allowed to be posted and here are the rules for how FR will do that..... but if an original source doesn’t like how things are being posted (reposted), then they can select a category that is structured around specific posting rules (along the lines of what you posted today). I assume that to a large extent, this is what has happened already. Anyway, with the onus on the complainant media, their organization’s wishes are then filed accordingly and automatically on FreeRepublic so that if any Freeper after that point in time wants to post a link or whatever from that organization, the category and rules for that organization are flagged and immediately come up so that the Freeper doing the posting doesn’t even have to think about it or go search to see what category the media in question is in. All this would take some effort to set up but doesn’t sound all that complicated....
