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!

          Dressage Geek: I must disagree. While chicken duty is most foul, it is small in size. On the other hand Camel dooky is HUGE and very smelly. It rates a 9.75 on my sniffometer. Elephant poo, while not quite as pungent rates as high to me for similar voluminous reasons.

          But I make the statement that chicken sh!t is the stickiest nastiest stuff to ever step in. In addition to the reek, there is that creepy nasty slimy aspect to it that seems to keep it from washing off, even with Lava soap.

            ...and I thought El Pollo Diablo was bad! Back the cluck up people. I can't believe that you'd accuse ME of this HENous crime.

            If it please the Barnyard Court I submit the following facts to dispell any doubt:

            Exhibit a) The bodies of the beak-ceased were found several feet apart (and in seperate barns), so it could not have been a territorial dispute between rival birds (although the squak around the barnyard is that he had it coming).

            Exhibit b)The bodies were found removed of feather and full of holes, but were otherwise untouched.

            Exhibit c)The canines in question have been convicted and incarcerated on several earlier counts of fowl play. They are, in fact, still wearing their "anti-chicken killing" collars (that would be a bucket attached to their collars to slow then down. Don't ask. The BO really thinks this helps).

            I personally believe that this particular "hit" was perpetrated against the KCCH (Karmic Chanting Chicken Hoards)in retaliation for crying, "the sky is falling!!" every time the alleged criminal canines were afoot (hence prodding the BO to install bucket-deterent devices on their collars).

            In short...you guys are barking up the wrong tree! It weren't ME who did the deed!!!!!! Them dogs is GUILTY!!!!!

            PS...Luna says she will NOT be coming forward as any sort of witness. Those pesky birds try to steal her feed everyday and she is NOT amused. She did say that *if* there were say...cookies...involved that she might be persuaded to come forward and testify. Until then, those birds are nothing more than feathered targets for her hind feet!! Cheap floosy!!

                  It does please the barnyard court, and I admit to having "counted my chickens before the eggs hatched" in voicing my objection, and hence, I respectfully retract it, having now been presented with the prosecutions supporting Eggvidence.
                  I should like to move that the Convicted Canines be allowed to cop a Flea Bargain in this case...
                  Furthermore, as no harm was done, we will ignore the comment regarding the possibility that the Equine witness implied, saying that her testimony could be, in so many words, 'bought' for cookies. We move that the defense will not pursue any form of Canter-suit related to possible 'contempt of court' charges, so long as this potential witness is removed from the Witness Rooster (roster)...

                    I have heard of placing a dead chicken around a dog's neck to deter it from chasing chickens, but never buckets...but a good idea! Also heard of flogging them with the dead chicken.

                      Now that was the coop de gras...really...an eggceptional post. It just gave me chicken bumps.

                      perfectionist...please don't tell my BO about those. The buckets are pretty frightening...to a three-year-old filly who is not so crazy about doggies wearing buckets to begin with. I'd love to see her face when the dog-wearing-the-chicken comes around the corner! She'd probably think, "cool! Two for one target practice!!". Me thinks the chickens had already flogged those doggies...hence the hit by the canine mafia.

                                  I just got off the phone with a certain Channel 7 news reporter who has conducted an indepth investigation (took him almost an hour). It seems JillTX was involved after all, and is planning a new career selling show chickens to unsuspecting widows. She insists that all she did was pluck a few feathers after El Pollo Diablo was already gone. She had no choice as the dogs had a choke collar around her neck. One of the dogs has moved to Mexico to make money to send back to his dog family and his son is crying fowl.

                                  I expect we'll hear from the dog shortly.

                                  I like logical people---they provide a nice contrast to the real world.

                                      !!! This thread is hilarious!!

                                      I have another chicken story for ya. I happen to love chickens, btw, because they amuse the heck out of me. When I started going to a new barn, there was a posse of hens that wandered about, which delighted me to no end. I knew immediately that they wanted to be my friends. I was only able to persuade one of them, though, a very old, very large black hen. I used to put her under my arm like a football and take her with me to catch horses, tack up, ride, and everything in between. She was really sweet and fun to pet! Unfortunately she died last winter.

                                      A new chicken was bought to replace her - another black hen - this time, a frizzle chicken. This chicken also wants to be my friend, I'm pretty sure, but she's not as tame. Alas, I've spent many a day cornering the posse in a stall or their barn, trying to let this chicken realize that she's my friend. Thus far, I've only been successful when said chicken tries to escape by jumping into a bucket ( ) or when there's someone else to help me catch her.

                                      Normally this someone else is a funny little jack russell who's obsessed with the frizzle chicken. Seriously, he leaves all of the other chickens alone and never even notices them, but the frizzle is quite interesting to him. He's often 'helpful' and will race up and grab the chicken's tail, and I frequently see him wandering around the chicken coop, silently stalking the poor bird. He never hurts it, he just pulls out a couple feathers every now and then. I think he's just really fascinated by it. Now we always know where the chickens are, though, if we spot him with a black feather on his nose!

                                        I had some frizzle chickens too; odd looking rascals, but pretty calm.

                                        Maybe the terrier cannot understand why the frizzle's feathers are backwards........

                                          Feathered Friends, Barnyard Pals, Fellow Horsemen and Country-Folk...

                                          We flock here today to biddy a fond fare thee well to our dearly defeathered friend, El Pollo Diablo.

                                          What can one say of El Pollo Diablo? He was a fine Cock of the barn aisleway, the mane Mother Clucker, beloved and fearless leader of the Karmic Chicken Chanting Hoard, a Righteous Dude. He happily scratched and pecked and scattered the meadow muffins, he strutted and Cock-a-doodle-doodied all about the barnyard. N'er a finer plummage nor fleshy cheek-thingy-doopy-doos have we known...

                                          Dearest, bereaved jilltx---shed no more tears over your freaky little boyfriend...Take comfort in knowing that thou shalt walk through the shadowy barn aisle and fear no more, for he art not there...He has flown the coop to the heights of Heaven, one day to return, as predicted by his followers the Karmic Chicken Chanting Hoard, upon the day that the Sky finally falls...

                                          Roost in Peace, our once-finely-feathered friend. You shalt be remembered with love as "A Good Egg"...
