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!

      My group will be there Fri-Sun. We'll stop and see you too, at the CT booth. My cousin has The Curlies and we always catch up and spend quality time once a a year! I've started my list, check ed out catalog prices and check the web site for the agenda . We MIGHT have 2 speare tickets for Fantasia on Fri Night. Not sure yet. Looking foreward to it and hope the weather is better this year. Newspaper shows rain Weds, Thurs,Fri, but better than the snow we had last year!

        Last year was brutally cold, slippery footing inbetween building, the horses had to be so careful and the ring outside was frozen.

        I'm sure since I'm not going this year it will be perfect. Sadly we won't have any Nokotas there this year. Last year we had 2 and this year we will have none.

        The booth will still be there though so please visit them in the Stroh building. Sara Gruen is signing books at our booth too. Her new book Flying Changes is based on the Nokota she met there last year.

          Hey guys. Sorry I didn't respond sooner, but the Board hasn't been very cooperative with me lately.

          Anyway, yeah, we should definitely pick another time, I'm just not sure when because I'm coming on Saturday to see GM's clinics at 9:30 to 11:00 and 1:30 to 3:00.

          How about we meet right outside the Coliseum at the door near Farmerama (don't know what they're calling it for EA - Breed Pavilion maybe?) at 11:00 or 11:15?

          Let me know.
          I would like to think I will die an heroic death...

          But it's more likely I'll trip over my dog and choke on a spoonful of frosting.

                Anyone having an extra ticket for Fantasia, I would love to purchase it! Count me on on the "reunion" and Harry, cocktails can be most any time, I am staying up there in our motor home, and love to have company at happy hour. And don't forget, Racetb will be there with her Middleburg stories.

                  I will be arriving around 1 PM on Saturday - my presentation is at 5 PM, and I think I have a couple of book signings in between! I'm also staying for Fantasia (I've never been to E.A.!) When are you folks planning to meet?

                    I wish I could meet you guys! I'm going on Thursday, I can't miss Mr. Hottie Darren Chiachia! I have a workshop on Friday that I can't blow off, bummer, and I'm rearranging the shed for hay storage over the weekend. Oh well! I just hope I don't have to stand in line for an hour again this year to get in! I'll have a 2 year old with me, that would suck!

                      I changed the thread title with the time and place. Will this work for everyone? I'm thinking the door on the left side of the Coliseum toward Farmerama. Let me know.

                      Edited to say they're calling it the Stroh Building for the EA. So 11:15 between the Coliseum and Stroh Building after the GM clinic. Sound good?

                          Oh Kim, I just saw your post about being there later. I'm sorry, it's just that I really want to see both GM clinics so unless people want to wait until after 3:00, maybe we could do it then?

                          But I definitely plan on coming over to meet you that day!

                            No problem! I would not feel right about making you folks reschedule, because who knows what my schedule may end up being like for that afternoon! (One thing I know - I have to make myself stay away from all of the vendor booths!!)

                            I am excited to meet you! I will bring your signed book!

                                Oh, I can't wait to get it!

                                And as far as the vendor booths go, I've finally decided that I need to go two days this year. One day to shop and one day for clinics.

                                The last couple of years I haven't left myself enough time to see any clinics - I spent too much time shopping!

                                  Oh c'mon Irish! Just tell him it's only once a year and you'll never have the opportunity to see so many wonderful clinicians at one time for so little cost! (Can you tell I've practiced this one alot. ) Just don't mention anything about the wonderful shopping!

                                        Harry,
                                        I know llt will have a lovely set up with cocktails at her motorcoach throughout the EA. If it's anything like her horse show hospitality, you and Mrs. Johnson will want to pop in! I may not make it there due to a family illness, but I'll give it the old college try! llt will fill us in as to where she'll be situated, I'm certain.
