• 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.

should this screen be edited since the administrator has not chosen to moderate all posts pre display?
 
You keep posting questions like this, dZ, and maybe we will! ;):D

Actually, this is a good point. Our resident Software Guru has a very full plate right now, but I'm sure he'll add this to the list soon.

Thanks.

Certain forums,in future may be Moderated. Then we'd need to change the message again. As it stands, with each new software release, we will have to install a long list of changes and hacks....this just isn't a priority. Especially in light of the fact that seconds after you get the message, you're returned to the thread and your post is showing.

When I edit a message, that is no longer noted...

at the bottom like in the old format. Was this eliminated just for the wasted annotations that would gather up at the bottom on the 2nd, 3rd, etc. modifications to the original? I like it, as it appears much cleaner.
 
You have a windows of 20 minutes to edit a post before it will show the "edited by". It is so you can fix spelling mistakes without letting everyone know that you messed up ;)
