Forum Rules

Here on Military Global Allied Forces we have a series of simple rules that ensure that the forum maintains her relaxed but professional atmosphere. These rules apply to the forum and her subsidiary links such as the games section and the links page. Below in no general order are the forum rules:

1.   Respect your fellow members at all times. Basically treat people how you expect to be treated; this includes showing respect to your elders and most notably veterans.

2.   No anti-social behavior. Members whose intentions are to disrupt the forum citing conduct that is against the good nature of the forum will be dealt with accordingly. This also includes the use of offensive language.

3.   No un-authorized advertisements. Spamming is nothing less than graffiti and will not be tolerated. If you wish to advertise on this forum you must approach Kiwi1988 via PM.

4.   This forum is a military support forum so at all times regardless of what personal political opinions you may have; support and respect for our servicemen and women is a must.

5.   Posting material of a pornographic nature is forbidden; not only does it degrade the standard of the forum but one can not be sure who exactly views our content.

6.   Support for terrorism or of a terrorist organization is strictly forbidden and will be dealt with accordingly.

7.   If a member of staff requests you to comply with a matter that is in the best interests of the forum; you must do your best to as soon as possible comply with that requests. If you feel a request is unjust feel free to contact another member of staff and the issue will be resolved. Failure to comply may result in disciplinary measures.

8.   Copyright infringement will result in an immediate ban. Select images have been generated by members of the forum purely for use here on Military Global Allied Forces if for any reason you wish to use them for purpose outside MGAF you must request permission from Kiwi or Collo. Taking these images with out permission is nothing less than theft and will not be tolerated.

9.   Members may only one account. If a member is found registering a second account they will be banned from the forum and their details logged to prevent any further registration.

10.   Members must provide a real email address. Members who provide false email address will be banned from the forum and their details logged to prevent any further registration.
 
Any breach of these rules will result in disciplinary action which may include various measure deemed fit and the staff revoking your membership and imposing a permanent ban. The staff holds the right to at any time delete, edit or move posted material; these decisions are not up for discussion.

SOCIAL CONTRACT

Here on Military Global Allied Forces we have a social contract that is a series of informal rules that we request our members to abide by. The social contract is as follows:

Preamble

People from all over the world are participating on Military Global and its community. Limited communication and cultural differences require us to agree on a common etiquette and rules of behavior.

That is what this social contract does. It is an agreement between you and all other members about proper behavior. You will have to agree to this contract in order to participate on Military Global. You will also have to agree to it again every time the contract changes. That way, you can be sure that everyone else with you has also accepted these rules.

We also ask that all material posted be in English.

Accounts

Your account in the game is yours and yours alone. You may not share it with someone else nor give it to anyone, not even temporarily. Official developers and beta testers can have more than one account. But these additional accounts are for testing purposes only.

Fair Use

Absolutely no verbal attacks, insults or harassment of other members.

Note that during debates/discussions, counter-arguments can get heated, as long as it is clear and obvious that the opposite argument is the target, not the member who made the argument.

Do err on the side of caution, especially if dealing with members whose social and cultural background is unknown to you. Be especially friendly to newcomers and always give them the benefit of doubt.

Personal Information

The personal information you enter will be kept on the server and not given to any third parties. If you choose to make your information public, it will be published on this site.

You agree to not give the personal information of other members to any third parties.

Violations

We reserve the right to remove members who violate this contract without warning. We use that option rarely, but it has been used.
