We need to develop some rules for this site.
Here are some suggestions that I came up with:
1. No personal arguments.
2. No oppressive language based on sex, race, religion, sexuality, income, class, political ideology, and age. Am I missing any?
3. Cursing is obviously allowed (we're fucking veterans), as long as it is not directly insulting anyone and done with military taste.
-- Acceptable: I'm fucking tired as shit from that ride and my ass is sore.
-- Unacceptable: You're a fucking bitch. Kiss my ass and suck my ... you get it.
4. No sexual harassment/unwanted sexual advances. Sexual harassment will be reported to a global moderator and be kept confidential. If anyone feels uncomfortable, it's wrong. Users, please communicate with the offender initially. If it doesn't stop, then contact a global moderator. Users have only one warning before they are banned!
-- Acceptable:
-- Post: I want to swing by User/SO place for a bit to take care of some business before the meeting.
-- Response: You can come by anytime
-- Unacceptable:
-- Post: User69 has a nice ass. I wanna tap that.
-- Response: I told you to stop talking to me like that, creep!
5. Political discussion should be limited to topics that affect veterans.
6. No illegal stuff! Do not use this forum to buy/sell drugs, anything prostitution, fraud, illegal weapons, etc. If it's illegal, you're wrong. Users will have one warning before being banned! Depending on the severity, law enforcement may be contacted on the first violation.
7. Although I have set this board up to be viewable by members only, we should respect others' privacy. Do not use anyone's real name unless it is their username on this forum.
8. Respect others. Don't attack someone for what they believe. Discuss the opinion, not the person.
9. Any threats of suicide or harm to others will be taken SERIOUSLY the first time. Appropriate officials may be contacted.
10. No pornography.
Violation consequences
- All users will have two warnings before they are banned from the site, except for those that were addressed specifically.
- All violations will be hidden (not deleted) to keep as record.
- Banned users will have to petition the officer board to regain access to the forum. Two-thirds of the vote in favor will be required to re-instate access.
Let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions!
