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!

    OK, I'm in! Later is better for me too. I know a couple of good places on the upper east side, but I don't know if you guys want to go that far.

    How will we know each other?

      Thanks! I may have to work on Saturday, but if not, I'm looking forward to meeting everyone.

      Restaurant/happy hour suggestion: Copperfields is on east 24th street, very close to the 6 train, which we could take uptown. There are countless bars/pubs/restaurants on 2nd and 3rd ave in the 70s and 80s that could work for us. They're also more reasonably priced than something in Gramercy, near Copperfields. Just a thought.

        Does anyone know when Copperfields closes on Saturday? I vote we meet an hour or two before it closes there and then move on to dinner and drinks. If it closes at 5, I think meeting at 3 would be perfect.

        As to how we would recognize each other...does anyone happen to have one of those infamous COTH caps? I don't, but it would be great if someone did

          Copperfields closes at 6. So let's meet at 3:00 at Copperfields & then go to a pub.

          My thought is we could go to Old Town Bar (18th St & Park). It's only 6 blocks from Copperfields & is casual & inexpensive. That way we can have a few drinks and/or eat & people can leave whenever they need to....

          No COTH hat here - perhaps we can all wear a nametag with our COTH id on it?!

            So, is it Copperfield's at 3 definitely?! I'm very excited... I'm trying to think of something I can wear to stand out so we can all find each other. I like the COTH id nametag idea...

            And, I just got a whole bunch of new pics of the REAL Phaxxton to show everyone!

              I'm tecumsea's ever-faithful and long-suffering roomie...

              She's read the forum, but is having problems posting.

              Wanted me to pass on that she will be at Copperfields at 3 pm tomorrow.

              Oh, and please feel free to abuse her once or twice for me.

              Thanks!

                  So, yes, everyone, 3PM tomorrow at Copperfields!!!

                    ALso, Tecumsea and I were talking and we are going to try to meet outside of COpperfields (I know, I know, even in the cold), but it makes more sense so we all find each other. So, hopefully everyone I approach and ask "are you from COTH?" will actually be from COTH...

                    If you are planning to come, post here and let us know so we know how many to wait for...

                        Are you suggesting that we all meet by the whips and crops, or did you have some other abuse in mind? We could always throw her in a NY taxicab....

                        Can't wait to meet all of you tomorrow!

                          I'll be there at 3. Real name is Rachel & I'm about 5'6 w/short blonde hair

                          If I don't see you outside, I'll be lurking at the front of the store eying the saddles & trying to figure out exactly how much my credit card will let me charge!

                          So right now its linquest, phaxxton, tecumsea & me. Anyone else? I PT'd everyone who posted on this topic so hopefully we'll get some more people to come out!
                          Anyone else coming??

                              Mickster - of course not! I wouldn't tell her that!

                              I have far too much respect for a person who joins an internet bulletin board on a subject that doesn't interest him just to be a part of my lesbian wedding! (See, I DO remember you )

                              We'll just abuse her, and then when she revisits this thread in a few days, she'll know it's all your fault.

                              And, I'm SO NOT taking on a NY City cabbie. Ladies, you are on your own with that one.

                              For everyone else, I'm about 5'4" with brown hair and freckles.

                                      It was great meeting all of you! I'm heading back to Copperfields this week to see if I can pick up any more bargins

                                      Let's all get together this spring (or whenever it gets warm again ) & go for a ride in Central Park. Of course, a few cocktails afterwards will be planned as well!

                                        It was a great time and those of you who live in and near NYC (and you know who you are! )but failed to get there this time missed out!

                                        The best thing about COTH get-togethers is that all the BBers I've met are even MORE fun in person than on here! It's always a good time.
