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!

              Weatherford, it's only about 3:40 in Florida right now. Given that her appt is with a specialist and she apparently was "fit in" it may be quite a while before we hear anything from her. I'm sure she hears all our jingles, though, so keep it up everyone!

                    HE IS OKAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO TUMOR!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
                    I am so relieved that I can barely stand it!
                    I wanted to do a dance in the middle of the Dr.'s office!
                    It was a good false alarm.
                    They did find a problem in that eye, but nothing like a brain tumor. What he has is called ambliopia. (sp) In a child when their vision goes bad in one eye, instead of seeing blurred or double the brain shuts off that eye.
                    He has only about 5% vision in that eye right now. But it is totally fixable by wearing an eye patch over the good eye forcing the bad eye to work. He will start by wearing it 100% of the time and over the next few years work down to 30# and by the time he is 10 hopefully not at all. But that is something I can TOTALLY deal with. I can deal with anything. I feel so much stronger just dealing with the last few days. If I had to wait a month I would probably end up in the state hospital .

                    I want to thank you guys so much for the support. Going thru this your kind words and encouragement AND suggestions really kept me going. (Especially since it my husband couldn't even talk about it with me so all i did was sit on the couch and cry) You will never know just what that meant to me. And if it haden't been for the suggestions to push it I would STILL be on that couch crying. I am going to TRY to find a way to post a picture of him so you guys can see who you have been jingling for. I am sure that God heard those jingles and couldn't take and angel that so many people were rooting for.

                    So from me (and my little PIRATE Grant) Thanks A ton!

                        Wonderful news! My son had the same problem. Unfortunately, the patch didn't work for him (he was fairly severe) and he ended up having surgery. He had to wear glasses for a while but he's absolutely 20/20 now. In fact, he's graduating from Law School in May!

                        Good for you for catching it. The earlier the better!

                                  Just a word of caution, because my son was completely blind in one eye, for the same reason. Patched 100% of the time for a month, his brain merely SWITCHED OFF THE FORMERLY GOOD EYE, AND SWITCHED ON THE FORMERLY BAD EYE. Yup, complete reversal. It took a while to get him on a schedule of part time patching so that both eyes ended up working correctly - he has an astigmatism in one eye now, and wears either glasses or contacts, one 'weighted' so it always sits in the eye with the same up/down orientation for the astigmatism. ((Should mention he is 24 YEARS old now))
                                  We were at Sheie for most of his care, because after the first episode, the regular eye doctor just gave up!

                                    I have to tell you that totally scares me.
                                    Funny, my son asked me the exact same thing. If wearing a patch on the good eye will make the good one bad. What symptoms do you watch for in that?
