Welcome to the MilPages site forum. We are glad you are here and hope you will contribute. We want the free flowing of information and chatter amongst our group. There are basic rules to follow to ensure you are not banned or given infractions. These rules are easy to follow and will be enforced.

The rules are as follows:

1. No flaming other members here. Our threads need to be on topic, and not just to add insult to other people.
2. Don’t SPAM the forums. If you have nothing to add to the community we would rather you not add anything. SPAMMING will get you banned without warning.
3. Use your PM’s versus creating clutter. If you need to say something unrelated please use the PM system.
4. Keep your language fairly clean, we do have a younger audience as well and I don’t want them to be violated by learning words their parents would be thankful for.
5. Advertising more than 1 other interest (links) in your signature is not allowed. This is not a link building site and you will get warned before banned, a second offense will ban you without warning. If in doubt ask first.

6. Don't link drop. It's ok to point to another article on another site, but abuse will be noticed and not tolerated.

7. Swearing-It's fine as long as it's used in moderation. This site is military afterall and I expect it, but please try to reserve it for when it counts. This site doesn't cater to kids so I am easy going on this area.

8. Stay on topic, please don't hijack a thread and take it somewhere else. Just make a new one and go from there.

9. When starting a new thread please ensure you have picked the most appropriate place for it. This will save everyone from having to move it to the right area.

10. Be helpful to others. Let's not leave threads with 0 replies if possible.

Those are your basic rules. If you cross them you may get banned without warning depending on the degree of the violation. If you don’t deserve the ban you will at least receive a warning.

Banning

Banning means your IP address, email, and user name. Signing up again will only get you banned again forever. We do not want to ban people but when misuse and distrust happens we can no longer allow offenses to continue against other members. We do not tolerate it.

You may request an appeal to your ban through email and each will be viewed on a case-by-case basis. The best way to guarantee you continuing in good faith is by keeping to the rules and guidelines.

Guidelines to things you should do:

1. Offer good information that others might enjoy reading.
2. You may advertise your websites or groups in your signature, please refer to the rules at top for clarification.
3. encourage other members to contribute.
4. Talk up the collectors world, that’s what we are here for.
5. Enjoy yourself and visit often for new threads.
6. Help build our community by advertising to friends and family.
7. Offer quality content for the website.

Those are your basic rules and guidelines and I sure with time passing by I will add more to this and update it. These are important to ensure the best experience for everyone that uses this place.
