• 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.

To be blunt, I don't like it, not at all. Rich said that General and Legal & Political forums were moved to emphasize what we are really about, shootin’. I would submit that what we are really about is RKBA and shooting, hunting, handguns and pistolcraft, etc. are all a manifestation of the RKBA. Therefore, we should do everything possible to focus attention on Legal and Political and General (which is pretty much a defacto L&P light). I find that the new location of Legal and Political and the General forums detract from my TFL enjoyment. I humbly request that the TFL forums are returned to the previous order.

Respectfully,

Jeff

Ahhh, a Senior Member once again. ;)

Thanks, Jeff. Points well taken. There are dozens of quality RKBA sites and lists on the Internet. There is an absolute dearth of quality firearms sites.

Thus, the emphasis.
I'm going to lock this thread as the discussion is encouraged in chucko's topic "New Forum Order".
