• 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.

I am unable to access the LCR forum. Is there a problem with my account?

fisherman66, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

you have to get permission first.
If you have a post history that does not include offending people you will probably be granted acces. PM any mod for them to review your application.
 
Oh, that's interesting. I guess I missed that piece.

I wonder who makes that decision. Hope I didn't offend that person.
 
No you didn't offend anyone, everyone is turned off until they ask for access. Send a PM to Antipitas or TheBluesMan.
 
I know better than to ask. I'm better off not going there anyway. Seems like I just naturally rub people the wrong way.:(
 
It would be nice if we could opt to hide posts in the L/CR area. I use "New Posts" to read the forums. I rarely even look at the birthplace of a thread. I never joined a fraternity. Don't plan to start now. If people only used the ignore feature on the beserkers or had the maturity to let those sophomoric threads slip to the bottom we wouldn't have to deal with this situation.
