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'm still here. I'm more of a lurker than a poster though... and a seasonal lurker at that. Way too busy in the summer (show season) to get my COTH fix.

        Another graduate of the BGSG.

        This is Brain in 2005, competing at Novice under his JC name Deby Day Dancer.

        He has since been sold twice, and is now introducing a new rider to eventing, at BN, under the name Beacon Point.

        While it would have been nice if his career had taken him to the upper levels, safely intorducing new riders to the sport is just as "valuable" a career.

            ::waves howdy::

            So who remembers the original forums? If I remember correctly, the humble beginnings of the bulletin board were rooted in discussion of the Between Rounds columns. The topics were Hunter/Jumper, Dressage, and Eventing.

            Prior to posting here, I was on FOL and the USCTA board.

            Robby Johnson, do you remember your first website? You posted it on the USCTA board, way before COTH. Why I remember that is a mystery.

            Everythingbutwings, I have always enjoyed your Maddie/Wings stories! I was seriously hooked on the Little Orphan Maddie drama.

            It's so nice to "see" all of you!

              but I think I recall the alien cab driver. So funny!
              Honey, YOU engaged in quite the conversation with him in reference to a book he had on the front dash about extraterrestrial beings. Heidi, Robert, and I were cringing in the back seat waiting for the cabby to pull out his laser gun!!!

              I pulled out pics last night and have some interesting ones from around the ice cream truck at the end of the night. Lessee - sushi, drinking, dancing, more drinking, then soft serve??? Did anyone puke?
              I gotta do-over and am doin it my way!!!

There's a picture of him winning the jumping section of the Young Event Horse Championships this year with our pro here. What about Jair? And Merry?

                  Portia - your young'in is stunning. Congrats!

                    So many people that I remember from long ago - so many firsts - the first time we hit a thousand posters ( a major hurdle) - the first real trainwreck (was it the chained noseband thread or the GM thread?) - and most of all how we all came together on 9/11 to check in with one another and offer our support.

                    Must. Not. Go. Away.

                      As long as we are remembering those who have gone from the CoTH world permanently, let us add ReginaPony to our list.

                      So many committed horse people fighting through the ending of their lives provided models for the rest of us.

                        Wow -- I remember the excitement/angst/concern when you first bought him, wondering what he'd turn out to be like. Turned out ok, I reckon.

                        It's really nice to "see" so many people who've been away for awhile.

                          OMG, I remember the utter shock and horror of waking up on 9/11 and logging onto the BB, running to the television set - and thinking the world was ending. So many of us spent the day 'huddled' around the BB - scared, shocked, and worried silly for our NYC posters.

                          Ah, fun times in Toronto, huh? Robby dared me to hug as many men as I could during Pride - and I think I represented.

                          Silly Mommy. I hate you.

                            I found out about 9/11 on this BB as well. I turned on the computer, logged in here, then ran to wake up the rest of the house and turn on the TV. I turned it on just to see the 2nd plane hit.

                                      Hello all! I've missed seeing you guys so much! I mostly lurk now--only post occasionally. I was just looking at the old thread where my sweet Knowonder mare died and thanking the gods for all the support I got from all of you--it made a huge difference. Dublin had just passed away before my mare got sick...

                                      Anyway--it is really good to see all of you--and Rolexh and Aiden and brother Mason are doing OK, lots of health challenges, but being met each time with the same spirit they showed here!

                                      I've gotten married and have an 18 month old ankle biter myself--who woulda thunk it???

                                      Don't stay gone so long!

                                        Wow, this is so incredible to see so many posters that I haven't in ages!! I originally joined in May of 2001 as "suecoo." Had to rejoin in I think 2005 when I couldn't remember my old email address and/or password!

                                        I lurk here and post occasionally now and then, however I spend a lot more time at TMP.

                                        I sure remember those good ole days....... Awesome to see everyone though!!
