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!

      Or you just stop posting.

      Generally, though, in order to delete an account, it seems to require a poster to post a few controversial things, then get mad, and post a thread titled something like "I'm deleting my account because these boards suck and the posters are mean, so I'm never posting here again." Then proceed to keep replying to posters on that thread until page 9, and finally either give up or get banned.

                    IIRC, deleting an account is not usually a possibility because your responses are part of other threads. Perhaps go to the Help forum and ask for technical advice. It seems that every year the mods had to delete the prior year's Secret Santa alters, and we couldn't do it ourselves. Or at least I remember it being that way when I did SS, which was a few years ago.
                    It's 2018. Do you know where your old horse is?

                      Laura, there was a bit of a pile-on over on the breeder's forum. The OP made some, um, optimistic comments aboiut a breeding she was planning, and all of us cranky, sore, sleep-deprived old women kinda jumped down her throat.

                      Kind of undeserved IMO, but May is just not our most tolerant time of the year as no one has had any sleep for weeks.

                        She didn't like the fact that we pointed out that she may be jumping the gun a bit when she asked if she should stand her first as of yet un-conceived let alone born colt at stud or wait for the second as of yet un-conceived colt from the mare. Apparently we are big meanie heads that can't see the big picture.

                          Ohhhh. Well, for starters, OP, you might want to delete your website and email address from your profile.

                          And yes, my daughter is a vet tech at an equine vet clinic...it's been a rough foaling season this year, hasn't it?

                              Give your daughter a big hug from me, and tell her how grateful I am she followed that particular calling.

                              Vet techs have a hell of a job, and are rarely thanked. They can make all the difference in an outcome.

                                It IS a tough job. She's a full time student too, and is applying to med school next year. So, the medical profession's gain will be the veterinary profession's loss.

                                  Going further, anyone wishing to sever all contact needs to send themselves 100 private messages. That will fill up the PM box and later incoming messages will be rejected.

                                    I think there's a setting somewhere where you can just tell it you don't want to accept PMs.

                                      Yes, that sums it up nicely. I had not had an opportunity to visit that person's farm in the short time I lived in OK, but here is a picture of one of the for sale horses (wearing more gadgets on the bridle than a saddle seat horse BTW): http://gabellafarms.webs.com/sales.htm

                                      I did find some other pix, and at least are more flattering. If this is the presumed to be future dam of the as of yet unconceived stallion, she is a nice one in these better pix: http://www.warmbloods-for-sale.com/H...8&UserID=11519

                                        I think that those types of post responses could be greatly reduced if the poster's age was listed under their user name.
                                        Youth and inexperience lead to these type of "dream" posts that kids come up with, and knowing how young a person is might make for some less harsh and more delicately worded posts.

                                        OR NOT~!!
