• 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.

Ignore button?

On some other forums I frequent you can add users to your ignore list so you do not have to see their ignorant or in this case generally abrasive posts.

I know..."Just don't read them." I don't always pay attention to the poster names when cruising down a thread.
 
You can do that here, too. Click on the abrasive member's name to go to his or her profile. On the profile page, right below the member name, look for "user lists." That will give you a drop down box to add them to your ignore list.
 
The ignore button made things more annoying to me.... it still shows that the person posted, you just can't see the post. I kept finding myself wondering what obnoxious thing the person was saying now and clicking the link to read the post anyway.:eek:
 
The moderation is really good here and I have confidence they will take care of abusive users quickly.

As for the ignore button its right in your head. As a responsible user and owner of firearms you have to train yourself to ignore certain abrasive people or those who get under your skin. You have to let certain things go and be happy.

Agree. Also, I try to remember that just because I consider a post to be “ignorant” doesn’t necessarily mean it has no value or does not add to the conversation.
