• 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.

Is it just me or is there an inordinate amount of trolling going on in the Gun show forums?

I know folks are trying to gouge some for all they can, but it's against the rules and just plain rude to clutter their posts with negative comments about the prices they're charging.

If you don't want to pay $65 for a bulk box of 22's, then don't. But if some poor schmuck is willing to pay it because every store he's looked in has NONE, then it may very well be worth it to him....400% markup and all.

I just think the mods should start cracking down on those who are trolling others' For Sale ads, if not this site will go down the tubes quickly.
 
I'm sure they (the mods) have noticed it too and are working on getting the classified section cleaned up. If you noticed they have a new mod (Tuttle8) dedicated to that section. :cool:
 
Right, we are really tightening down the ship in those forums. Tuttle8 is doing a yeoman's job in them.

We do need help from the members as well. If you see a trollish post, don't just ignore it, please press the "Report this post" button (
