• 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.

What about allowing the members to have avatars next to their names??Just a thought.


Secondly, what about a Knife forum or edged weapons forum? I think that would be a fine fine addition to the firing line. I am new here I know, but I would say that we all have a few knives laying around that we PROBABLY use more than we do our guns, daily. Knives are such an integral part to life and work, and in some rare cases, self defense... i think it would be neat to have alittle place on here to question and chat about blades... Just a thought. Thanks for the great forum!!!!!

I'll go ahead and address your question on avatars and leave the knife question to others.

TFL is all about high signal and low noise. Almost without exception, avatars add noise. That's the reason we don't allow them.
