Good morning, News Viewers!
Hope everyone has enjoyed the Live Discussions we’ve had on the January 6 Committee hearings. We’ll have another one tomorrow. If you haven’t checked them out, please do. We welcome your comments, thoughts, and analysis of what the Committee has discovered thus far. I’m just hoping the DoJ is paying attention and perhaps getting ready for some warrants or convening a grand jury.
Speaking of the hearings: We tend to get more comments on Live Discussions than our regular threads. I’m reminding everyone to limit, as in one and done or none at all, posting gifs or memes. They tend to slow stuff down. In fact, I’ve accidentally downvoted people in the past because my computer screen bounced around all over the place; it’s frustrating. I also want to remind people not to post any videos, whatsoever, on our Live Discussions…none.
In fact, I’ll just make it easy on all of us and cut and paste info from our Community Guidelines:
- Posting gifs, memes, tweets are acceptable but please do not post the same ones repeatedly. That is SPAMMING and will get removed. Keep your gifs/memes, tweets, etc within the realm of the topic—not off topic or highly offensive. Don’t hijack the discussion with your gifs/memes/videos.
- Videos: Please use them only and sparingly on Free Chat style threads, unless the open thread pertains to music, movies, etc…then feel free to post songs, trailers, clips from your favorite comedian, or something you want to share. But, do not SPAM up the thread. Scrolling through a ton of videos is annoying because they can load slowly and bog down the commenting section.
- Live Discussions: Please do not post any videos. We ask that you limit the gifs and memes as well because most of our Live Discussions generate a lot of comments and we want to read what people have to say, not scroll through a lot of other stuff. Post only gifs and memes pertaining to the Live Discussion’s topic. Posting clips from Twitter, especially real-time Fact Checking, is completely acceptable and encouraged. Links to a credible fact checking site in conjunction with your comment works as well.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please free to post them.
Enjoy the day and stay safe!
