• 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 a Gun FAQ Forum?

Or possibly an intro forum?

Some question come up over and over again.

Such as: What handgun for bear defense? What to get for first handgun?

Or maybe instead of a true forum a saved search of threads? Like the option for active topics maybe a saved search that would pick up one or two maintained threads [say to cover gun safety or basic question for first time handgun buyer] along with whatever other threads the saved search would capture.
 
We've been thru this before. We are opposed to setting a tenor at TFL that would have the novice feel it's in bad form to ask a novice question....or to relegate them to a novice Forum.

Each "repeat" question generally has a slightly different basis or bent. So be it.
