• 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.

New forum, would it be possible

When we are finally upgraded to the new version software, would it be possible to have a forum that could be General non-gun related?
 
Kimber Man,

Good question. It's been discussed at length and, as of the last discussion, we decided a non-firearms forum, while great fun, is outside the mission of TFL. Therefore, for friends and family chat, most folks go to Gunslinger's board.

Sorry, I don't have the url on hand at the moment. Somebody give us a hand here, please.

tlt,

I don't know that a separate forum for polls would be justified. First of all, there aren't that many (although they DO seem to come in groups!). Secondly, in a separate forum, they probably would not be found and folks would be posting about them in the General Forum anyway.

Just my surmisin'.
 
Rich,

No, I mean when people post links to other web pages that are doing polls. I've often wished I could go to one place to see all the topics like that.
