• 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.

Poll feature request

Is it possible to ask a qualifying question to someone, prior to them seeing the poll, to exclude folks who don't meet criteria for the poll?

For instance:

Poll question: Do you like Ruger branded gold bead sights on your redhawk/SRH?
1. Yes
2. No

This poll might get some idjits with Smiths, Dan Wessons, or Colts that have some other brand of sights on their guns, responding to a specific poll.

If a pre-poll question were there qualifying a pollee, then people who respond to it would be unable to vote if they don't match the qualifications.

Qualifying question: Do you own a Ruger DA revolver with ruger gold bead sights?
1. Yes
2. No

Anyone answering yes would get to vote in the poll, and folks answering no would not.

Possible?
 
Sorry, it's not possible for us to implement a change like that to the vbulletin software. You might want to ask the same question on the VB forum.

Even if we were to add that feature, what is to stop anyone from answering "yes" in order to get to the poll and respond improperly? In other words, those who would answer improperly before the change are the same ones who would answer improperly after the change. It's human nature - not desirable human nature perhaps, but it's evident all the time.
