• 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.

Senior member!

Okay, I've been a member on this forum for less than a week and I now see it says I'm a 'Senior Member.'

What makes somebody a new member, member, senior ect?
 
Its got to be how fast you type, me i mostly just read the post and have been on and off for 2-3 years and am content to just be a member.

Senior to me means very little.
 
Wayne, it's 'cause you have the fastest post-per-minute rate of anyone on the forum! ;) :D

They really should figure the "senior member" by combining both total posts and time on the forum. I think it is crazy to be a senior member after only one week, while there are many members under a hundred posts, but have been a member since 2001 or earlier.

Just my 2 cents
 
The member titles mean nothing. It's just a software switch that changes value after a certain number of posts.

0 - 29 = New Member
30 - 99 = Member
100+ = Senior Member
