Welcome to the Wild-About-Trapping.com Forums

Your postings on this forum will become public. Your text will be available to anyone with an internet connection.

This is a trapping website. If you do not like trapping or hunting please take your patronage elsewhere. Anti-trapping posts will be unceremoniously removed and the author will be banned from these forums.

The basic ground rules for discussions on Wild-About-Trapping are simple: be polite, use common sense, don't break the law and don't post any message that even hints at advertising. That includes signature files.

We don't intend to censor messages based on the opinions expressed within posts, but we will enforce the policies outlined here. We reserve the right to remove, modify or move posts at our discretion and without explanation.

Suspension of your account is a definite consequence of not adhering to these guidelines.

In addition to the rules posted here, you are required to read any individual forum rules that may be posted at the top of specific forums as important threads or announcements. Wild-About-Trapping's staff assume members have read the rules and will not take ignorance of any rules as an excuse for not following the rules, policies, and guidelines outlined here and in the forum specific rules.

Forum Rules: These rules apply to all forum categories.

• We take the "Be Polite" rule very seriously! We do not tolerate any rudeness. Any member who is intentionally unpleasant or disruptive may be banned without warning.
  
• Personal attacks will not be tolerated and will be edited out by our Moderators.
  
• If you SPAM our members in any manner, your account will be disabled. Do not contact anyone to suggest your product or service that is not explicitly expecting you to contact him or her.
  
• Your account is yours alone. You are responsible for any activity created with it. You may not share your account login with anyone. If you choose to ignore this important restriction your account will be disabled.

• Any posts that encourage illegal intent will be removed and the account disabled.
  
• Public posts debating these rules and/or moderators' enforcement of such, will be removed without comment. We encourage feedback however and invite you to contact the site administrator if you have any questions or concerns.
  
• Your IP is recorded. In the case your actions are highly questionable or bluntly against the rules set here or the agreement you first agreed to, your IP will be contacted and if necessary, the authorities will be contacted as well to pursue the matter. This forum aggressively searches out violators to these rules. We are sorry for even having to post this, but sometimes things just need to be spelled out.
