Ten Things to Remember Before Posting
by Dongfeng, Sumdud, gollevainen & bd popeye.

1, This is a military forum. All non-military related topics belong to the Off-Topic forum.

2, Discussions should be concentrated on Chinese military issues. Issues regarding other countries can be discussed in the World Armed Forces Forum.

3, When posting a new topic, please check if the same discussion already exist

4, Please also avoid one sentence post when starting a new topic

5, The following posts will be deleted or edited;

• Posts containing personal attack, swearing, political propaganda, and commercial advertisement
• Posts that are offensive to any ethnic or religious groups or government. This isn't political forum
• Posts that prompt hatred between different countries or groups of people
• Meaningless arguments and inappropriate provocation of other members
• Any other posts that the moderators/administrator regard as inappropriate
  This includes post with comments with "sexual comments". Don't bother with the idiotic "she's hot" etc comments. Remain respectful to all women. Military or otherwise.
• Any post containing solely article of some others, without comments of the poster, this includes links also. You are responsible of the content of your links so do not post trash
• Any post that violates universally authors moral right to his own text. So do not even think about plagiarizing. Always provide a source if quoting someone else
• Political issues of any sort will not be discussed.

6, This is a place for professional discussion. Please do NOT get personal. Do not try to tempt your fellow member to behave nastily. We see quite well trough your attempts. Also its not allowed to post deliberately false material or generally inappropriate comments. This isn't social chat-room so members with only that in mind would be banned.

7, Please obey the instructions by moderators. Warnings or banning will be issued for non-compliance.

8, If a member is clearly just causing trouble, let moderators deal with him/her. Ignore all provocative posting, because it would only worsen the situation. For those who repeatedly violate the rules here, he/she will be banned. The banning of a member is carried out by Dongfeng, Sumdud, Webmaster, Gollevainen & bd popeye. So please contact them directly regarding this. Members getting banned usually follows the path of warnings If member is to receive a warning, it will appear in the public warning list. After two warnings, member is to be banned for one week and permanently if he still manages to acquire a third warning. Also super moderators and administrators have ability to ban members for undisclosed periods according to individual cases.

9, Use only understandable English with out too much use of slang that prevents someone with lesser language skills to understand. All rules of moderation apply to a foreign languages as well. Also as we are international community, DON'T make points about someone's lack of English skills. This is a rule that requires patience from all of us.

10, Don’t forget the gollevainen's quiz of the week in the off topic forum.
