Thank you, submitter, Drew. Without Ric, I might have never known that the \/1@gr4 I bought from that E-Mail in my junk mail folder might not be legit.

I did too. Greenlight Day was a lie.

I also was redlighted yesterday. With a legitimate "Paula Dean is a diabetic" backlash article, no less. I should have just referenced what I had at Starbucks in the headline, I see.

/I must be super unfunny to have gotten rejected yesterday.

LoneWolf343: I did too. Greenlight Day was a lie.

I got it too, and it was actually on 2 legitimate news stories because I hadn't heard about the 'We're gonna greenlight everything day' thing...

I guess I would have gotten the green if I had made a post that didn't link to anything, but was really just a dissertation on the state of lint in my bellybutton, judging by the stuff that DID go green yesterday.

I got red-lighted on a quality geeky science story. Pretty sure I didn't suck enough .....

I submitted a Fark.TV video and it got red immediately.

Hey, at least they acknowledged your submission existed. My submission just went into the nether world never to be seen again. No redlight, no greenlight.

It helps if you're an insomniac. 4 am where I am is a good time for submitting headlines. Not that I'm an expert but when I've been lucky it's either been when Drew is drunk or very early in my Arizona morning.

Scratch that...apparently I've submitted 3....sweet booze.

Two redlights yesterday, including one on a legitimate followup to the Syracuse sex abuse case. (One of the four accusers has recanted, and I have not seen this reported on FARK anywhere; if I missed a link, would someone be kind enough to point it out to me? Thanks.)

junglegoddess

2012-01-19 01:06:08 PM

Wow. I feel better about what I thought was my abysmal greenlight record: 10 for 46.

/redlit yesterday too

ex0du5

2012-01-19 01:16:13 PM

:(

3 reds.
Two were news on recent developments with indigenous struggles around the world, obviously nothing us Americans should be interested in, so rightfully canned.

One was a video of a birth simulation doll voiced by a japanese robot. I was sure that was gold...

/zero for many...

A big fat lie.

DanZero

2012-01-19 01:45:26 PM

2 for roughly 30-35.

In one of the TFDs, Drew mentioned he stopped personally greenlighting after 6PM yesterday, so unless you were posting before that time

Aquapope

2012-01-19 01:59:12 PM

I got my first green _{(new window)} yesterday - albeit in the Politics tab. Should I consider it a green with an asterisk since yesterday was such a funky greenfest?

macross87

2012-01-19 02:26:17 PM

Yup, many got reds yesterday. But damn, there was a lot of submissions.

/I didn't get a single green either
//oh well

I got 3 redlights yesterday too. And one of them was a cute puppy video!

I guess free doesn't really mean free on greenlight day. I still have no idea what it takes to be cool enough to get a greenlight.

I am, however, glad to know that I wasn't the only one that was bummed about it. Misery loves company.

It's not the TotalFark that made the difference in my case. Let's just say I'm still walking funny and leave it at that.

And now I am at 2 for 22 (just got another redlight).

typical self-centered bastards, no one cares about the traffic lights on your ride home from career day at mcdonald's. this is Ric Romero we're talking about here people. the man is a God.

Look, y'all. I have submitted four (4) links to fark in the last year. Not ONE has been approved.

/the system is broken, I tell you

Time Traveling Bunnies

I was redlit too. I tried to start a piracy thread on anti-SOPA day.

Turns out the movement wasn't that strong.

With your witty posts and good sense of humor, I believe the TF didn't play a role in your greenlight.

But it seems to help in many other cases - and gave me another chance to biatch about Total Fark!

I got a redlight for an article about Florida making a new law to make secret the outsourcing of state agencies. You would think that would be a big story on Freedom Of Information Day*.

*yeah, I just made that up, but you get the point

I self-redlighted, so I'm getting a kick out of these replies.
