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!

    • Original Poster

      we ain't been smokin...we been snortin...apple bute is the best!

      You know, I didn't like the lego idea at first, seeing as how it IS the future, and there are supposed to be more technicologically (Can you tell my brain is fried? I can't even spell!) advanced, but then I realized that the legos ARE advanced, because they must be special legos that allow for movement and you can make ball/socket joints with them...how else would allen be able to jump.

      Boy band movie is number 12...duh.

      can horses take the morning after pill? if so, allen can take that when he has the pregnancy scare...

      • What about Lego Nazis for Allen 3? Or conversely, Carrot Nazis? Then Allen could just save the world by biting their heads off. Go Allen!

        Don't forget Allen : The Prequel either- he can be in utero for that!

        I still think there should be one when Allen gets to play James Bond. I mean can't you imagine him in a little tux wooing the ladies, making little blind girl jealous?

          • What about Allan sporting a mohawk a la Stiff @!#% ? (or maybe Hilter would suit it better)

            You could bling the mohawk with crystals and Twinkle!

            Oo..I have it!

            In Allen 8 (An Xmas Story)The little blind girl and Allen find themselves homeless on Christmas Eve! (the evil stepfather turned them out on the cold harsh streets, since he delcared BG too old to live at home anymore) So for X-mas, in which they stay in a homeless shelter, hoboes can spray paint Allens mowhawk green and decorate it with tinsel and ornaments. Home made gifts are wrapped in old newspaper and and placed under Allen! Can you feel the love??

            • So i was just watching tv instead of studying...

              Can Allen please become a chia pet as a weird side effect from the radiation involved from attaching the lego legs?

              • Perhaps as an allergic reaction to the glue used to bling the legos?

                Comment


                • That is a fabulous idea!!! Allen can now cross genres into horror.

                  Movie #13: Allen evolves into a chia pet and self cannibalizes.

                    • Think horse head on chia body. What do chia grow, and what do horses eat? Grass. Do I have to explain everything to you?

                        so it wouldn't be a cannibal...

                        duh. it would be a self-mutilating herbivore.

                        • Either way, he has a grass problem.

                            • How else were you planning to explain the climactic drug bust of #38. Had to get there somehow!

                              • Is that combined with his perpetual apple bute snorting problem?

                                • Look Im going to put this idea to Peter Jackson for him to direct.Hes down here for the NZ premiere of King Kong & I saw an interview with him saying he is allways on the look out for new projects.Perhaps some of the old props from Lord of the Rings could be used.Im sure he would also be able to en-list an A lister star.Im thinking Britney Spears as the blind girl & Orlando Bloom should be in it somewhere.If it gets filmed in NZ Orlando & the $700 pony can stay with me & Britney can stay at my mums.

                                  • I'll speak on DeLapp's behalf and accept the NZ offer, as it is her favoritest place to look for airplane tickets to :P

                                    Orlando, however, will be staying with ME!

                                    • As Far as funding the movie goes Im personal friends with the NZ prime minister.Shes agreed that if Peter Jackson directs, sweeping scenes of Nz are included (for tourism) & if we say that Allen is a NZ bred thouroughbred she will take the funding that was going to education next year(I convinced her this movie was practically a documentary) & give to the making of the movie.Also she wants to be in it.She wanted to have a starring role so I kind of semi promised her the role of Allens love interest.Hope you dont mind.

                                      • Waiiitttt...I thought the first movie was going to be funded by a group of Nigerian investors. We proposed a budget of $20 million, and they graciously offered $40 million. All we have to do is wire them the extra $20 mil. in advance!

                                        Comment


                                        • Well we cant compete with the Nigerians.Our education fund for next year is only $153.00 which will only just cover Britneys acting fee.God knows what Orlando would cost.Mind you wardrobe would be cheap for him, what with him only wearing a loin cloth for the whole movie.
