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!

      I can't beleive I am having to write this - I can't make the party. The joy of working in a 24/7 situation - plans have changed for that weekend and I have to be here. My thoughts will be with all of you and I'll try and send something for the party this week. Give that beautiful little lion a big hug for me and tell him I think about him every hour of every day.

        monsterpony! great idea! I spoke to the child life woman at the hospital if Aiden is admitted and can't leave they said they will be able to reserve the conference room downstairs. I am hoping he is at the mason house, but either way it should work out.

        tackpud, Oh no!! I am so sad. we will just have to see you another time.

        Jingle for Aiden that he is better soon.

          Jingling here! Hope you had fun last night, Lisa. You certainly deserve some.
          The upcoming party sounds great. Please oh please post LOTS of pictures for those of us who are too far away (and celebrating our wedding anniversaries!) to attend. We'll just have to plan something when Master Aiden makes his Leadline Tour!

              Haven't updated the title--I want to make certain that everything's a go before I do that--I know some of his cultures, etc. are coming back soon.

              As far as I know it is still a go however!

                The party is still a go. As of today it will be at Debbie's house. I am going ot call Debbie and make sure we have the plans set. If, God forbid, something happens, they said they will either give Aiden a "hall pass" from the hospital, or let us have it there in the conferece room. As of right now, it is a go at Debbie's house. "THANK YOU DEBBIE!!"

                Aiden is feeling great! I am very glad. He does have some loose stool, but that is it. No one is anticipating him having to be in the hospital on Saturday, but like I said we have a back up.

                So who is coming??? I know that Joey, me and the baby makes three. Eqchick and her date is five, then knowonder too that is 6 who else?????

                I hope it is a lot of people and we can get a big group pic for the COTH. I am also bringing my scrap books with all of his pics from the hospital and home, to the party. I think Eqchick's idea was great make sure you bring at least one pic of you and your riding so we can have that to talk about too!

                We are going to have F-U-N!!

                  I'm a definite *PROVIDED* the weather cooperates! I have to go thru some mountain-type terrain to get to ATL from here, and if there's any snow or threat of ice on the roads, it can be dicey. Since I'm the sole source of support for my equines, dogs, and cats, I am very cautious about getting far from home if there are travel risks. So that I will have to play by ear and watch the forecasts.

                  But, otherwise, I've already been baking & shopping for goodies!

                        For those of us who can't be there -- too far away, plus it's my wedding anniversary so Mr. Agedbayhunter is kind of expecting me to be with him -- I hope you'll post pictures. Then we can have some chips and dip and a glass of wine and pretend we were there.

                        I'm especially looking forward to photos of AIDEN STANDING UP!!! Another milestone...how neat!! Enjoy your day with that super baby, Lisa.

                              man, I thought I was going to get to come, since I'll be at my parents this weekend, and my mom will babysit, but...Tyler is sick with a BAD cold :-( and though I want to be there SO bad, I surely wouldn't want to expose Aiden to anything. Tyler is going to the Dr tomorrow, so I'm sure he'll be feeling better real soon :-) I will be thinking of you all durinh the party, and of course pictures ARE expected!!

                              Lisa: My offer is still good for Joey to go fishing with Tommy in the Bass Boat, so let me know.

                                  Here's the message with the directions:

                                  <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Debbie:
                                  I think the plan is to start at noon and go to whenever with people dropping in as they can. I've got veggie tray, napkins, cups, ice and tea (sweet and un)covered. Parking may be a little challenging, but there is a side street across from my house and we can just line that.

                                  My address is 1566 Brockett Road, Tucker, GA 30084 and the closest major intersection is Highway 78 and Brockett Road. Once you get on Brockett from 78, my house is the third house on the left.

                                  Please email me at debbie@slma.org for more specific directions.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

                                    Ahhhhh! This is SO exciting!!!

                                    I'm going to wait till the list gets a little more full, then I'll bring whatever is left.

                                    As far as directions go, here is a http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp...submit=Get+Map. You can zoom out for better directions from I-285 (the perimeter). Debbie, if you're coming from the airport, is it easier to get right on 85 then head south on 285 to St. Mtn Pkwy? Or should they take 285 all the way around? We may need to figure out a carpool system from the nearest Marta station - Debbie - any input on that, too?


                                    I also have a great idea for conversations... why doesn't everyone try to bring pics of them riding, their horses, fun pics of us riding as kids - whatever! No need to bring a whole album, but a few glimpses of what your horse-connection is all about would be great!

                                    Hope you guys are all doing well - let me know if there's anything I can do to help any of you out that are coming from out of town!!!

                                      I think this was the last list of who's doing what--what updates are needed?

                                      I'll probably just bring one salad, but I got ETBW's mini-quiche recipe and have been hard at work... plus the rest of what I signed up for.
