Forum rules and no-advertising policy

As a participant on this forum, it is your responsibility to know and follow our rules. Please read this message in its entirety.

Board Rules

1. You’re responsible for what you say.
As outlined in Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, The Chronicle of the Horse and its affiliates, as well Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd., the developers of vBulletin, are not legally responsible for statements made in the forums.

This is a public forum viewed by a wide spectrum of people, so please be mindful of what you say and who might be reading it—details of personal disputes are likely better handled privately. While posters are legally responsible for their statements, the moderators may in their discretion remove or edit posts that violate these rules. Users have the ability to modify or delete their own messages after posting, but administrators generally will not delete posts, threads or accounts upon request.

Outright inflammatory, vulgar, harassing, malicious or otherwise inappropriate statements and criminal charges unsubstantiated by a reputable news source or legal documentation will not be tolerated and will be dealt with at the discretion of the moderators.

Credible threats of suicide will be reported to the police along with identifying user information at our disposal, in addition to referring the user to suicide helpline resources such as 1-800-SUICIDE or 1-800-273-TALK.

2. Conversations in horse-related forums should be horse-related.
The forums are a wonderful source of information and support for members of the horse community. While it’s understandably tempting to share information or search for input on other topics upon which members might have a similar level of knowledge, members must maintain the focus on horses.

3. Keep conversations productive, on topic and civil.
Discussion and disagreement are inevitable and encouraged; personal insults, diatribes and sniping comments are unproductive and unacceptable. Whether a subject is light-hearted or serious, keep posts focused on the current topic and of general interest to other participants of that thread. Utilize the private message feature or personal email where appropriate to address side topics or personal issues not related to the topic at large.

4. No advertising in the discussion forums.
Posts in the discussion forums directly or indirectly advertising horses, jobs, items or services for sale or wanted will be removed at the discretion of the moderators. Use of the private messaging feature or email addresses obtained through users’ profiles for unsolicited advertising is not permitted.

Company representatives may participate in discussions and answer questions about their products or services, or suggest their products on recent threads if they fulfill the criteria of a query. False "testimonials" provided by company affiliates posing as general consumers are not appropriate, and self-promotion of sales, ad campaigns, etc. through the discussion forums is not allowed.

Paid advertising is available on our classifieds site and through the purchase of banner ads. The tightly monitored Giveaways forum permits free listings of genuinely free horses and items available or wanted (on a limited basis). Items offered for trade are not allowed.

Advertising Policy Specifics
When in doubt of whether something you want to post constitutes advertising, please contact a moderator privately in advance for further clarification. Refer to the following points for general guidelines:

Horses – Only general discussion about the buying, leasing, selling and pricing of horses is permitted. If the post contains, or links to, the type of specific information typically found in a sales or wanted ad, and it’s related to a horse for sale, regardless of who’s selling it, it doesn’t belong in the discussion forums.

Stallions – Board members may ask for suggestions on breeding stallion recommendations. Stallion owners may reply to such queries by suggesting their own stallions, only if their horse fits the specific criteria of the original poster. Excessive promotion of a stallion by its owner or related parties is not permitted and will be addressed at the discretion of the moderators.

Services – Members may use the forums to ask for general recommendations of trainers, barns, shippers, farriers, etc., and other members may answer those requests by suggesting themselves or their company, if their services fulfill the specific criteria of the original post. Members may not solicit other members for business if it is not in response to a direct, genuine query.

Products – While members may ask for general opinions and suggestions on equipment, trailers, trucks, etc., they may not list the specific attributes for which they are in the market, as such posts serve as wanted ads.

Event Announcements – Members may post one notification of an upcoming event that may be of interest to fellow members, if the original poster does not benefit financially from the event. Such threads may not be “bumped” excessively. Premium members may post their own notices in the Event Announcements forum.

Charities/Rescues – Announcements for charitable or fundraising events can only be made for 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations. Special exceptions may be made, at the moderators’ discretion and direction, for board-related events or fundraising activities in extraordinary circumstances.

Occasional posts regarding horses available for adoption through IRS-registered horse rescue or placement programs are permitted in the appropriate forums, but these threads may be limited at the discretion of the moderators. Individuals may not advertise or make announcements for horses in need of rescue, placement or adoption unless the horse is available through a recognized rescue or placement agency or government-run entity or the thread fits the criteria for and is located in the Giveaways forum.

5. Do not post copyrighted photographs unless you have purchased that photo and have permission to do so.

6. Respect other members.
As members are often passionate about their beliefs and intentions can easily be misinterpreted in this type of environment, try to explore or resolve the inevitable disagreements that arise in the course of threads calmly and rationally.

If you see a post that you feel violates the rules of the board, please click the “alert” button (exclamation point inside of a triangle) in the bottom left corner of the post, which will alert ONLY the moderators to the post in question. They will then take whatever action, or no action, as deemed appropriate for the situation at their discretion. Do not air grievances regarding other posters or the moderators in the discussion forums.

Please be advised that adding another user to your “Ignore” list via your User Control Panel can be a useful tactic, which blocks posts and private messages by members whose commentary you’d rather avoid reading.

7. We have the right to reproduce statements made in the forums.
The Chronicle of the Horse may copy, quote, link to or otherwise reproduce posts, or portions of posts, in print or online for advertising or editorial purposes, if attributed to their original authors, and by posting in this forum, you hereby grant to The Chronicle of the Horse a perpetual, non-exclusive license under copyright and other rights, to do so.

8. We reserve the right to enforce and amend the rules.
The moderators may delete, edit, move or close any post or thread at any time, or refrain from doing any of the foregoing, in their discretion, and may suspend or revoke a user’s membership privileges at any time to maintain adherence to the rules and the general spirit of the forum. These rules may be amended at any time to address the current needs of the board.

Please see our full Terms of Service and Privacy Policy for more information.

Thanks for being a part of the COTH forums!

    Ask The Horse Psychic! CLOSED!!! THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT!

    It's our last day to take new questions at 10.00 each. After midnight Friday Dec 17 Eastern Time minimum donations will be raised to 25.00 each. We will still be happy to take your questions but at the new donation level!

    So jump on board, don't be late, it's time to DONATE!

    Swami will continue to answer questions! And every last paid question will be answered!


    THANK YOU EQUUS NOW for the generous Matching Donation!


    It is with much excitement that I'm proud to present the 3rd Annual
    ASK THE HORSE PSYCHIC

    This year a few things are different so please read the instructions below carefully.

    DressageGeek "Ribbon Ho" has been instrumental in organizing this years event so that we can help more horses than ever before!!!

    Thanks to Geek we are doing this years edition in "Off Course" and have made it much easier for you all to participate.

    Please use this link to submit your questions:

    http://specialhorses.org/Swami_Rabbit.asp

    (1) Click on the “donate” link below. You can use either your paypal account, or a major credit/debit card.

    (2) Minimum donation: $10.00 per question. Your paypal receipt counts as your tax receipt, but Special Horses will send you a separate receipt upon request.

    (3) After you submit payment information, click on the box labeled, “Special Instructions for Sellers” and include:

    * your horse’s name
    * your horse’s location
    * your horse’s age
    * your horse’s sex
    * your COTH user name
    * your question for Swami Rabbit

    Note:
    **No specific lameness questions like "Why is Fred off behind?" This will elicit the reply, "Please consult a vet. Please submit a new question."

    **Please, no questions about communicating with animals who have died. Swami is unable to communicate with horses who have crossed over.

    (4) Your question will be posted on the COTH Off Course thread. Look for Swami’s response! There is no limit to the number of questions you can ask, but each question requires a separate donation.

    As always, this is for charity, entertainment purposes and fun only.

    Last year COTHERS raised $1,500. for Canter Ohio. This year we hope to raise $5,000 for our selected orgs! Please give generously! Together we really can make a HUGE difference for these horses!

    So without further ado I give to you ASK THE HORSE PSYCHIC.....

    Please remember - I have to get the info from paypal before I can post your queries. I will keep checking and doing what I can...but there may be a bit of a lag till we get going.

    And here's an idea...that last minute Secret Santa present..as soon as my giftee acknowledges her gift and knows who I am...she'll get to ask Swami a question! The donation has already been made in her name, and I'll post her question when she gets there!!

    (AND PLEASE, GET THERE! I am hopping up and down with excitement!!)

        Age: 5
        Sex: Mare

          Miel de Citron really needs to find a new and loving home. Her owner loves her very much but it will be a struggle to keep her over the Winter. Will someone take her home and love her?

          I am sorry that I am unable to tell the future, but I get a strong feeling that this special mare will find a great home where she is much loved.

          I took a moment to ask her if there was anything in particular she needs and she said that she's got this itch behind her right ear that she can't seem to scratch and that one of those soft rubber curry combs for a couple minutes every day just behind her ear would make her very happy indeed.

            And can I add...this is Louise of FLTAP. She told me that they have placed 103 horses thus far this year, up from last year's 92..in no small part because of our incredibly wonderful COTHers.

            Why not help Swami give the best response possible to Miel...and make it 104?

                    It is in the comments section - unfortunately, paypal had wikkileaks hacker issues, and we couldn't get google accounts to activate with the appropriate bank account in less than 24 hours...so it is what it is!

                    Could you PM me your "real" name so I can match it up with the paypal donation?

                    Thanks!

                            She also said there is a great shortage of peppermints lately and she needs MORE!

                              * my question for Swami Rabbit - I am trying to persuade my owner to let me go to stud again. As these things for us mares tend to be arranged marriages, I am not confident that he'll find me attractive. My question is whether vajazzling will make me more attractive to my potential husband? And what design would you suggest? My owner says a carrot shape is vulgar. I thought the stallion might find it *ahem* suggestive... It's been eight years since I last went to stud, so I'd like him to... well, you know... he can take his time on the second cover, but a quickie for the first cover would be my preferred option.

                                Fayden showed me THIS and says that he sees that next to every jump. He doesn't understand why you keep such horrible things hidden in jumps.

                                    And just a wee note re the Special Horses website, since I received a PM:

                                    The webperson who had been doing the site...well, they were not working on the site. We have agreed to part ways and I have a new webperson. But first, we had to get the domain name, which took a bit, AND we are getting a new logo!! but that is in progress. And while we have been working on the new site, my wonderful new webperson (who has many other websites besides ours) took time out to help with the paypal issue.


                                    So - the site looks pretty dead, and it is pretty dead - but believe me, it will rise soon! And it will again include the wonderful wonderful "This It Be Right" tribute from our own Risk Averse Rider and Buddy Roo.

                                    I had to weigh options...move on with fundraisers under skeleton conditions...or work on the website...well, I know it's getting cold and times are tough, so we obviously moved on with Secret Santa and SWAMI!

                                      Pongo
                                      Michigan
                                      10 yr old gelding

                                      Why is Pongo the way he is?
                                      Pongo says that he misses the girls and the laughing in the barn aisle.

                                        * my age - Don't ask ladies such personal questions. (late teens is as much as I'm prepared to say...

                                        * my owner's COTH user name: Doodlebug
                                        * my question for Swami Rabbit - I am trying to persuade my owner to let me go to stud again. As these things for us mares tend to be arranged marriages, I am not confident that he'll find me attractive. My question is whether vajazzling will make me more attractive to my potential husband? And what design would you suggest? My owner says a carrot shape is vulgar. I thought the stallion might find it *ahem* suggestive... It's been eight years since I last went to stud, so I'd like him to... well, you know... he can take his time on the second cover, but a quickie for the first cover would be my preferred option.
                                        This question, regretfully, is not a question from you to your horse. It seems you are already communicating with your horse! Do you have a question for me get answered by your horse?
