• 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.

I trust you have looked around the site and noticed that there is no advertising - zero, zilch (other than the single link to the site owners magazine, and that really isn't advertising). So, given that, there is no one to talk to about it, sorry.

Thanks for the response and yes I did notice that. With that being said would it be ok if I was make a brief post in a category such as the Gun Show area about our products and if I see a question regarding gun storage jump in and provide an answer?

I'm not looking to spam and annoy the users of the firing line and I look forward to contributing to the various conversations as well as offering the users discounts on our products.

I know you can put that link into a signature so it is under your posts each time you post...

If you wish to participate on TFL as a member then it is acceptable to put your business name/link in your signature line and/or to mention your business/products in the normal course of a discussion thread.

If it becomes obvious that you have no interest in participating at TFL past promoting your product/business then it becomes spamming and that is not allowed.
