ColtForum FAQ - Read before participating or emailing Admins
Welcome to ColtForum!
ColtForum(CF) is a Internet discussion forum for Colt firearm enthusiasts. CF prides itself on being a laid back lightly moderated forum. This is mostly due to the laid back membership community. We have only a few set of rules: The Lounge area is reserved for all other GUN related talk that does not fit into the existing sections. Please keep threads on topic. Threads dealing with religion, race and politics tend to be heated topics so to keep everyone playing nice, these topics are no longer allowed. If you wish to discuss non-gun related topics with fellow gun enthusiasts there are several excellent gun forums available on the Net that allow these topics. Posts that will start flame wars will be deleted and author will be reprimanded. You are required to have a valid email address registered. Services on this board such as Private Messages(PM), thread subscriptions, etc send email to your account to notify you of new messages. If you have a invalid email address, these services bounce error messages to the admin. If an account starts bouncing error messages, the account holder will be sent a PM to correct the problem. If the account holder does not fix the invalid email address, the account password will be changed. Please note the password change policy below. Registration problems: When registering with CF, please check your spam folder for the verification email required to join the forum. The most common problem new users experience is their email software is flagging the verification email as spam. This problem accounts for 99.99999% of all problem reports. If you recently submitted a registration and you cannot post or cannot login, this is the solution to your problem. After a certain period, if you do not respond to the verification email the system automatically deletes the registration request and you have to re-input your information to start the registration process again. If you think you already registered, please use the lost password feature listed below. Forgotten password or forgotten usernames If you have forgotten your password or username or both, please go to the Forgot my password page: http://www.coltforum.com/forums/login.php?do=lostpw Please do not ask an admin to change registration information or reset passwords manually. We cannot verify people's identities via email so we cannot change your registration information or passwords. This is to protect the member accounts. If you registered long time ago and no longer have access to the email account you originally registered, your options are to keep guessing your old password or create a new account with your new email address. Ban on Yahoo!, Hotmail, AOL, MSN and ATT users has temporarily been lifted. However, if users from these services continue to have registration problems, the ban will be re-enabled. Due to continued registration issues with these email providers ColtForum is no longer accepting registrations with these providers. If you attempt to register with one of these email addresses you will get a message saying your email address is banned. If you would like to register with ColtForum, please use an email address from another provider. We don't seem to have problems with Google Mail accounts so you might try them: http://www.gmail.com If you don't get the confirmation email with your Google Mail account, check your spam folder. Banned IP Address Why is my IP address banned? Coltforum gets a fair amount of spam, usually from porn sites or Viagra sellers. When we get several spam(especially those that post graphic porn pictures) and a network is found to be the origin of more than one spam we will ban the entire network for a month or two. Most of the offending IP addresses come from networks outside of the United States. IP banning is a temporary measure to slow the flow of spam(it's impossible to stop spammers completely). If you get a banned IP address message, email the admin to request that your IP address(network) be unbanned. If the IP address or network was banned recently you will be asked to check back in a month to unban the network. Occasionally, we get a problem user who is belligerent to other members and admins. We will ban the IP address of these users for a while. Eventually, we will unban that IP address.
