Forum Rules / Disclaimer / Guidelines etc. Participation in Bull Breeds Online constitutes agreement to the following:- Bull Breeds Online is a forum dedicated to a number of ‘Bull Breeds’ – the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, the Bull Terrier the Bull Terrier (Miniature), the Bulldog, the Bullmastiff, the French Bulldog, the Boston Terrier and the Amstaff. We do not support nor encourage cross, designer dog or back yard breeding. We support ethical breeding of pure bred dogs. Bull Breeds Online exists to provide people with a unique, fun and informative place to discuss the many facets of owning bull breeds. Although Bull Breeds Online is geared primarily toward pure bred SBT, BT, MBT, Bullmastiffs, Bulldogs, Boston Terriers and Amstaffs, we welcome owners of all breeds to discuss and contribute, but NOT at the expense of, or derision of who this forum was originally created for. We strive to be a place where everyone can come together to enjoy the fellowship of the love of these bull breeds and all dogs alike. General forum etiquette Be understanding that not everyone is going to agree with you – show tolerance and don’t make issues ‘personal’. It’s a big wide world with plenty of diversity of opinion AND diversity of culture. We all do things differently and have different ideals. The web can be a tough place to communicate effectively on at times. Give people the benefit 0f the doubt! We KNOW issues can get heated and passionate – but personal attacks won’t be tolerated. Help others. The forum is a community, and works best when people share information. Give feedback. If someone helps you by answering your question, try to add a follow-up response letting them know if it worked or not. Welcome newcomers. Do not chastise them for not reading the forum etiquette. Make them feel welcome in the community and politely direct them towards this page Keep your message and questions on topic. Do try and keep to the topic of the thread. If you want to raise a new issue then consider whether a new topic is more appropriate Be careful how you say things - It is often times very hard to write in a way that shows how you're feeling or how you mean something to come across. Even if your intentions are good, the way you write something may be taken the wrong way. A very popular way of making sure your feelings are expressed in the way you intend them is to use emoticons. It can be considered rude to use ALL CAPITAL LETTERS when typing. It's considered a way of showing that you are yelling and shouting and should only be used to emphasize that feeling. There are no dumb questions. Help someone out if they've asked something that could be construed as dumb or naieve with some good POSITIVE information or resources.. Links to relevant news sources are encouraged. Forum Tips Use the PM system rather than email. Its probably best to not disclose your email address for all to see.
