• 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.

Would it be possible to breakup the rifle section to bolt action/break action and semi auto?

Just to keep track of the threads easier.
 
Yes, it's possible and we've discussed it many times. How many different actions are there?

1) bolt (rotating bolt vs straight pull)

2) lever (rack & pinion rotating bolt vs straight camming bolt)

3) semiauto (open bolt vs closed bolt)

4) break action singleshots (ala shotgun action)

5) other single shots (think rolling block)

6) drillings/doubles

I don't think that's all of the options. Once we start forums for every variant your problem won't be keeping track of a thread, it would be remembering in which forum you saw it. :)

Seriously, it works just like it is for most of us. You'll get used to it. If it is unusable for you, I think most other general firearms boards do what you are suggesting. There's no shortage of forums out there on the internet that do what you suggest.
