Ranching.FYI Intelligence Forums Rules & Etiquette

[Ranching.FYI Admin]

Welcome to the Ranching.FYI Intelligence Forums, your go-to hub for positive, educational discussions on all things ranching.

The rules are simple:​

• No whining, crying, sobbing, sniveling, sulking, bickering, slandering, name-calling, complaining, smart comments, or pouting. We are all adults.
• Discussions are moderated for civility and offensive content will be promptly removed without warning.
• Every comment matters; contribute constructively. We encourage diverse ideas and viewpoints without fighting or fussing.

If you feel compelled to do any of the above you may be banned without warning for violating any of our rules whether written, spoken, or implied here or in other places on this site.

For effective participation, we ask you follow these etiquette tips:​

• Read existing information and comments before getting involved yourself.
• Respect differing opinions; healthy debate is encouraged, but positive dialogue is required.
• Keep discussions civil. Passion does not replace manners.
• If you feel that someone has insulted you, or personally attacked, bullied, harassed, or threatened you in any way, please report this to the moderators as soon as possible. Don't perpetuate the dispute, sometimes no response is the best response. The moderator will decide what needs to be removed.
• Stay on topic and avoid trolling or off-topic comments. These forums have been created for a specific purpose. Please stay within the boundaries of the subject matter. If you have an idea for a different topic or discussion board please let us know we are always looking to expand the discussions.
• Respect privacy; refrain from sharing personal information.
• Please respect the moderators and staff. Their job is to keep the forum safe and constructive.
• Don't be obscene and don't use foul language.
• Don't post in a manner that violates any law, promotes the violation of any law, plagiarizes or violates intellectual property rights. Ranching.FYI is not responsible for any ideas shared on this site or any comments made on it.

For sharing information:​

• Share knowledge tactfully and avoid repeating common queries.
• This is a ranching forum, people are going to discuss ranching information, that is what the forum is and was created for. People are attempting to gain knowledge and people are attempting to share knowledge. How you specifically gain and share knowledge requires a certain tact so please be respectful that others may not be at the same place as you in their ranching journey.
• Don't be obscene and don't use foul language.

Regarding personal promotion or advertising:

• Promotional links that could result in the sale of a non-sponsored product in signatures are not allowed and may cause your comment to be deleted.
• Please avoid promoting products (including podcasts) from non-sponsor companies through private messages as well.
• Violations may lead to immediate account or comment deletion.
