• Anything ‘published’ on the web is viewed as intellectual property and, regardless of whether it displays a copyright symbol or not, is therefore copyrighted by the originator. The only exception to this is if there is a “free and unrestricted reuse” statement associated with the work.

    In order to protect our members and TFL from possible litigation, all members must abide by the following new rules:

    1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.

    2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).

    3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).

    4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”

    5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.

    Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.

    Thank you for your cooperation and your participation in TFL, the leading online forum for firearms enthusiasts.

Can you guys...

get a little more militant with the WTS/WTT/WTB threads?

Perhaps mandate either a full state name or a postal code for the state in the subject line? Delete without warning any thread that doesn't conform to a standard?

I don't care what the standard is.... just that maybe there is one?

I'd propose:

WTS - OR - $500 - SuperBlaster 5807 w/ megaupgrade package

The format being:
WTS/WTT/WTB as the first entry
State postal code as the second entry
Price as the third entry (completely superfluous in my mind, but some folks might like it)
Item description as the final entry

It would be really, really nice to be able to go to the search bar and look for "WTS AZ" or the like and see what's available. Probably move more product, too.
