• 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.

Ok Here it goes but it seems that others have thought the same thing and the post seems to get closed. TFL has this section for suggestions for the forum but seems to want to dismiss some request for a OFF-Topic forum for non-firearm related subjects!

I recently posted in the General Section Figureing that General meaning pretty much anything. I was wrong and see that it says Firearm Related! Oops My bad, sorry for being new to this sight, but not to the 20 or so other forums I am part of(Mostly Archery) and Most all of the Top Forums have this type of Section......which makes it easier to have fun while on the forum, the ability to know different people for who they are and not for what they carry!!

I don't want to burn any bridges or cause any trouble! But like the thread says Suggestions, Questions and Tech Support! We'll heres my suggestion- A off topic Thread, A Thread for law enforcement talk and related Questions(since firearms are a big part of law enforcement)

Thanks
VA
