TFP Admin · May 5, 2006 until June 5, 2017

These are the rules:

You must have a working email address. Multiple registrations are forbidden except in extenuating circumstances as approved by TFP Admin.
No personal attacks or abusive insults.
No Politics or Religion. Period.
Rumors and gossip concerning other forums, their members or their policies have no place here.
Be VERY conservative in your use of swear words. People of all sensitivities are present.
The widest image you can post is 480 pixels and a file size no more than 146 KB. Use the upload feature for larger images.
Do not post copyrighted material, including text and/or images, without the owners permission and a link to their site.
Try to keep posts on topic. Start a new topic in the appropriate forum whenever you want.
Do not post in a thread that has had no activity for 30 days or more unless you were the thread starter.
Your signature, including all text and images can be no wider than 480 pixels and no taller than 100 pixels.
Adult content or links to it is strictly forbidden. Keep everything rated no more than a television "R".
There is no advertising your business or products in posts. Use a linked banner for your own business in your signature and you can have a listing in our PRO Directory.
You can not participate in the PRO section of the forums unless you are or were employed in the flooring industry.

These rules are subject to change at any time without notice. Please check the forum announcements often. These rules will be enforced with no favoritism and could result in temporary or permanent banning from the site. Please discuss your questions or problems with the administrator or a moderator.

Our goal here is to educate, entertain and foster cooperation within all segments of the floorcovering industry. Our focus is on the professional but we have a strong desire and ability to help the consumer and Do-It-Yourselfer. Every single member is important no matter how long they have been here how many posts they have or what level of membership they hold.

You will find advertising here through a variety of methods, but it is not allowed in forum discussions. None of these methods are designed to infringe on your privacy or ability to use the forums. An advertiser has no guarantee of sales and no assurance that comments favorable to them will be made. Indeed, there may be reviews and opinions that are negative but we will enforce Rule #2 at all times. No advertiser has special privilege just as no member does. Advertisers are welcome to answer questions and clarify any misunderstanding but Rule #12 will be enforced at all times.

The administrator and moderators are the only enforcers of the rules. There is a "Report Bad Post" button on every message in the forums (it looks like a whistle). Use it if you feel a violation has occurred and needs attention. Please refrain from inflaming the situation by arguing with anyone. Posts that violate the rules can be edited or deleted. Threads that have gone wrong can be locked or deleted. Following the rules as best you can will be the best way to get the most out of this site.

Thank you all for your trust and your participation in helping this site grow.
