• 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.

Thread blocking

I wonder, is it possible for me to block whole threads started by a particular person, or just their posts?

There's some really stupid stuff being posted of late.
 
The software allows you to block their individual posts only. You will still see their name when they reply to or start a topic, but all that will show up where their message would normally be is this:
This person is on your Ignore List. To view this post click [here]
Click to expand...
If you click on the link, a new window will pop up showing only the hidden post.

Threads started by people on your ignore list will still show up, but you won't be able to read their initial post, only the responses.

Wanna know more? Give it a try for yourself and see how you like it. You can always go back and remove the member's name from your ignore list.

Hope this helps! :)

P.S. I wonder what would happen if I put myself on my own ignore list... :confused: ;)
