Forum rules
Short and to the point: this is how we keep the atmosphere friendly and the content useful.
🚫 No politics — We talk only about pigeons
This forum has a strict “No politics” rule: political discussions, campaigning and arguments are forbidden in every section. Here we talk about pigeons.

1
🤝 General provisions
- The forum is for pigeon keepers and everyone who loves pigeons: breeding, racing, breeds, care and shows.
- By registering you accept these rules. Not knowing the rules does not exempt you from them.
- The administration may change the rules; the current version is always on this page.
2
👤 Registration and account
- One person, one account. Give a real email address: verification codes are sent there.
- An avatar and 5 photos of your pigeons or loft are required: they make the community lively and trustworthy. Do not upload other people’s photos.
- Do not share access to your account. You are responsible for everything posted under your name.
3
💬 Communication
- Respect other members: no insults, harassment or discrimination of any kind.
- No political or religious arguments, provocations or flooding. Argue about pigeons, not about people.
- Write clearly and avoid CAPS LOCK. Do not duplicate topics: use the search first.
4
📝 Posts and topics
- Start a topic in the right section with a clear title. Posting in the wrong section may get the topic moved.
- Spam, advertising of third-party sites and services, pyramid schemes and scams are forbidden.
- Do not publish other people’s personal data (phones, addresses, private messages) without their consent.
5
🛒 Buying, selling and auction
- Selling birds is allowed on the Classifieds board and in the auction. Describe the bird honestly: breed, age, health, ring.
- Ask for photos and video before a deal and never prepay strangers. The administration is not a party to any deal and does not guarantee it.
- Selling sick birds or legally protected species and individuals is forbidden.
6
🩺 Bird health and advice
- Advice on the forum is members’ experience, not a veterinary prescription. Treat serious diseases together with a vet.
- Do not promote cruelty to animals. Such content is removed.
- When you mention drug doses or treatment schemes, give a source or say it is your own experience.
7
🖼 Photos, video and copyright
- Post your own material or credit the source and author. For other people’s texts use a quote with a link.
- Pornography, graphic violence and other shocking content are forbidden.
- You remain the author of your photos but allow the forum to display them on the site’s pages.
8
🛡 Moderation and sanctions
- Moderators may edit, move, lock and delete posts and topics that break the rules.
- Sanctions: a warning, a temporary restriction, an account ban. Serious violations lead to a ban without warning.
- Disagree with a decision? Write through the form on the Contacts page and we will review it.

🏅 Ranks and badges
- 👑 Administrator and 🛡 Moderator are staff badges. Only the site administration grants them. They show on the profile and next to the name in topics, on the wall and in chat.
- A rank is awarded automatically for activity (the number of your forum posts) and for time since registration. Both conditions must be met.
- 🥚 Newcomer — right after registration.
- 🐣 Fledgling — from 1 post.
- 🕊 Pigeon keeper — from 10 posts and 7 days since registration.
- 🏅 Experienced — from 50 posts and 30 days.
- 🏆 Master — from 200 posts and 90 days.
- 🦅 Forum legend — from 500 posts and 365 days.
- Extra profile badges: 💬 Active (20+ posts), ⭐ Reputation (rating plus karma 10+), 🔨 Seller (has an auction lot), 🤝 Sociable (5+ friends), ⏱ Veteran (over 10 hours on the site), 📷 Photographer (10+ photos).
- Ranks are calculated automatically and refresh within a few minutes. Deleted posts do not count. Inflating the count (spam, duplicates) breaks the rules.
