• 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.

Should be a photo rule on this site.

There should be a rule for people selling items on this site to have pics to list a sale. This site is one of the worst I've seen for not putting pics in sales.
 
Gotta agree with Dustin, I don't think it should be a requirement but it helps plus it would be too much for the mods to take care of, they can't look at every thread to see if it's got a pic in it.
 
Pictures are fun to look at, but not essential. They can be misleading as to the condition of an item (nearly everything looks better in a photo), and I'd assume that if someone is seriously looking to buy something, they already know what it looks like, pretty much.

You can always ask a seller to email or post them.

And besides, the BST forums are sort of peripheral to TFL as a whole, and from what I've seen lately, the poor ol' mods don't have time to enforce the rules in those forums as it is... :(
