Forum Rules These rules apply to posts on Forums/threads - Forum based PM’s - Forum based email No links in profiles or signatures to other forums/businesses OR active promotion of the same.

You agree to abide by Admin/Staff announcements and rulings. You agree to not submit distressful, slanderous, defamatory, obscene, abusive, hateful, racial, insulting, demeaning or threatening posts. Respect people privacy, don’t post information on any member without their prior knowledge AND consent. No active promotion of other canine forums by use of this forums email or pm system. NO TROLLING - What is a troll? It's a person who posts something which is bound to stir people up and then sits back and watches as dozens of people jump in and start arguing. Sometimes trolls get their friends to join in or post under different names. Generally they will do anything it takes to get attention. If you see a message like this, please try and refrain from replying to it - it may well be deleted anyway nappropriate user names not allowed. BTC doesn’t stipulate that these rules are error free. A users 'warning system'is in force for all members. This system works on a 0% to 100% rating system. A staff person may increase that level of any user who is considered to be breaking the Forums rules at any time (and will notify the user where-ever practical). On reaching 100%, a range of bans may be put in place by Forum Admin, from a temporary ban to a permanent one. The forum admin/staff reserve the right to:- Delete individual posts Delete an entire thread Outright ban or suspend the poster. Give a poster a number of warnings and then (possibly) ban that poster for a definite or indefinite period. Delete upload images to the forum.
