1. This forum is dedicated to the study of the world's Armed Forces (Army, Navy and Air Force) which includes their equipment, organization, history, etc. Threads may be started out of these topics but should remain military focused. This is the case for the Main forum. Sub regional forums are allowed a bit more latitude regarding non military topics such as cultural/political and historical matters. However, the threads may remain there at the discretion of moderators/administrators or owner.
2. People of widely varying nationalities, ages and educational levels visit this forum. Therefore, participants should try to treat each other with dignity and respect. Passionate, even heated debate is welcome but messages which descend to personal insults, name-calling or similar abuse will be deleted. Participants who routinely abuse other members will be warned. Failure to modify behavior will result in loss of posting privileges. Those who challenge decisions made by the owner and/or his designees will be removed if deemed a nusiance. Constant and frivilous complainers can also lose posting priveleges. We will do our best to maintain members and help problematic members retain membership without a permanent ban.
3. The forum generates a large amount of message traffic. Consequently some threads may wander off the original topic. Posters are encouraged to use good judgment when replying to an existing thread as it may be better to start a new thread.
4. This forum exists to facilitate the public exchange of information about the world's Armed Forces. However, the owner of "World's Armed Forces'' website retains the right to delete/lock/moderate any messages or threads deemed inappropriate (e.g. off-topic, `flames' and offensive) by himself or his designated moderators/administrators. Any graphic images such as dead bodies and nudity is forbidden.
5. Promotion of commercial sites or products is not permitted.
6. Do not post topics or replies containing: - Subjects which have already been discussed numerous times (recently) (please `search' first, as these topics are locked on sight at the discretion of the owner and moderators/administrators) - Flames/perceived flames directed towards other users (deleted on sight). Moderators/Administrators will use their discretion on this matter. We reserve the right to decide if the offending remarks stay or do not. -racism directed at specific members will not be tolerated. If you continue to spew racists terms toward members after warnings, you will be removed from your posting priveleges. -try to keep your posts related to the topic the thread is related to. This is not a must though. - Images/documents linked from other sites without their permission (simply giving a URL is much more polite). However, we are flexible on this issue if the respective owners of these sites do not have have problems with it. 7. Do not post spam. - Spam includes advertisements, content deemed inappropriate or illegal; and flooding of the boards.
8. Ensure that your signature: - Remains a reasonable size; - Does not contain excessively large images or annoying animations; - Follows all the rules applying to posts themselves.
9. Do not argue with the enforcement of the above rules and regulations. -If any moderator/administrator or the owner tells you to comply with any one of these rules, you must comply. If you are rude/uncivil to any of the moderators/administrators, you will be given an instant temporary ban. The `Suggestions and Complaints' Forum is the correct avenue to air your complaints but do so in a civil manner.
10. Errant posters will be warned 3 times before receiving a temporary ban. However, moderators/administrators will use their discretion on this issue befitting the situation. A poster who fails to comply with the rules upon his/her reinstatement will be banned again for a longer period of time and perhaps, permanently in some cases.
11. Posters are reminded that moderators or administrators who par-take in any discussions do so at the expense of their authority. This is to say that they surrender their moderating or administrative powers when they participate/debate in a particular thread and will be regarded as normal posters (unless the situation is deemed critical enough for the said moderator/administrator to act quickly; but justification will have be made). Another administrator/moderator will have to adjudicate that thread if the situation calls for it.
12.Please provide a link/referrence to all articles posted. If the information is from a book, the referrence must be there. If it is from a periodical, the name and date of the periodical should be there as well.
13. dont post pictures with a bigger sice than 800*600.If you have pictures larger make them smaller or post a link. It makes that people have to scroll and 56 k and ISDN users will have no fun enjoying these threads because they will have to wait for the threads to load.
14. No one is to use a signature that insults/flames/degrades any member on this forum, no quotes or misinterpreted suggestions of any kind.
15. The total pixel-area of a signature (not just a single pic in your sig) may not exceed 800 x 600 (or 480,000 pixels squared). In other words, the maximum allowed pixel Length of a signature is 800 pixels, and Height 600 pixels. If you want to know how many pixels an image takes, right click on it, go to Properties, and look at the "Dimensions" values. If your signature violates this rule, please resize/change it ASAP.
16. Advertising (or linking to) another forum (of any kind) is strictly forbidden except with prior approval by the owner and/or administrators of WAFF.
17. Too long, unbroken links tend to break the HTML tables of the forum and force visitors to scroll horizontally in order to view certain parts of a message. If you think your link will not fit without distorting the forum tables in a screen with 1600x1200 pixel resolution, please use the Hyperlinking (Link) function of the platform and make a keyword point to your link instead. Thank you.
Compliance with the above rules is expected and if you choose to ignore them it will result in your removal from forum membership.
