• 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.

Moderators,

(And the rest of you ladies and gentlemen)

I've noticed that the teotwawki, shtf, zombie, ........ and such scenario postings are causing some, well, issues around here. Since they usually end up wherever the poster feels like they tend to draw flak due to the threads not being a serious post.

I'll be the first to admit I am very guilty of the above.

However, when I've got nothing better to do, I do enjoy reading these ridiculous posts.

Should we, or should we not have a dedicated "play room" for those of us who refuse to grow up and wish to keep debating doomsday nonsense, flights of fantasy and such?

You know, kind of like the kid's table at Thanksgiving dinner. Out of sight and not running around annoying people in the main forums.

And while I'm at it, maybe a graveyard for closed threads??

Kilroy, hopes someday he'll graduate to the grownups table, was here

(If you do need a father figure for a misbegotten forum like I suggested, I'd be willing to help)
