• 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" Feature, what a blessing

I've found my blood pressure is a lot easier to keep under control when a small subset of TFLers are invisible to me; the Ignore list is an excellent feature.

I have you on 'ignore', therefore I cannot see this post. I'm sure it was a good one tho. :D

Just kidding. I don't even know how to use the ignore function, nor do I care. I haven't run across anyone deserving of the feature yet for one thing. Besides, a guy can just scroll on past a post if it bothers him THAT badly.

Good day,
Callahan
 
AMEN!

I never thought that I would have to use such a feature, but I did about two minutes ago for the first time. An ignorant member kept trying to get me to fight with him in PM's and waste my resources looking up info to convince him that we have a fourth amendment right. I don't care if this commie believes it or not. Then after about a month of my not responding, he tries to drag the topic up with me in another thread. It was very satisfying to be able to tell him that he was now the only person that is being ignored by me. Another priceless feature thatI am glad we have available.
 
That would result in so many hurt feelings though. If you suspect someone, send them a friendly message and request a read receipt. If you never hear back, they are either ignoring you, not reading any PM's, or just deleted it without reading. Ignored posts can still be read with a click.
