• 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.

Hey, this is a GREAT forum for suggestions!

Gee, I can see from the reply counts that it is very well read. It's too bad that the government hasn't thought of this to avoid changing. Lessee, if you would like to vote for the guys we have, just mark an X.
If you would like to vote for change or someone else, we have a nice voting booth behind the dumpster in back of the Salvation Army restroom.

The initiative process at its best.

Fine American tradition.

Sic semper status quo.
 
Well, I saw it. Maybe more people should be made aware of the 'view new posts' feature. You see all the posts, plus it's a much faster way to get around.
 
Didn't think it was all that hidden. Seems to have always been on the main menu and on the pull down menus.

System problems and member problems have been quickly addressed by staff or others.

Maby the low total post count is an indication that things are running pretty well. Seems to be a fairly high hit to post ratio, like some are lookin, learnin and movin on if they have nothing to contribute.

Nuther possible reason for low number of posts.......some subjects may be of great interest to staff, but instead of discussion here, they are bandied about in the staff lounge and direct staff to staff mail. Reduces clutter on the site.
