• 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 Me Or Are Most Staff Members Abusive!!

Just don't make them take their belts off.:D Their pants could fall down and you would get an eye-full of wadded panties.:eek:
 
"Where do you think diamonds come from? From right here on TFL, from wadded mod britches!"

If that's the case, Mal is picking up the tab when we go shotgunning on the 19th.
 
Maybe the problem is that a fair amount of individuals (both here and in the real world) only claim to respect those people who "tell it like it is" only until they are the focus of the "telling"...

In other words: We can dish it out but have a hard time taking it.

If getting reprimanded or called out tends to make one feel uncomfortable...maybe one should lock ones-self in a fallout shelter so that one does not have to rely on any of one's non-existent social adaptation skills.
 
all i have to say is the mods have never hammered on me, but then again i try not to give them an excuse.
English was never a strong subject for me, and spelling was worse. thats why i use the spell check:cool: it seems like if you try your best on punctuality you wont get flamed.

as far as the senior member vs the standard and junior member battle goes. i NEVER read the posters names unless it sparks some sort of interest good or bad. most of the time its there quote that lets me know who they are.
In my mind's eye, Mike Irwin sits...in a dark room, chain-smoking unfiltered camels and drinking a neat bourbon...while muttering about the eTards and chortling at some particularly inventive bit of vitriol. -- Justin, APS

Its still hard to pass buy that one and try not to laugh:D
