GWL Forum Rules of Engagement

[teh_adnim]

Commander’s Intent is the guiding principle: act with discipline and honor. All regulations are subject to battlefield common sense. This outfit’s effectiveness depends on the discipline of its warfighters. Your conduct is governed by the following Rules of Engagement (ROE) here in the Area of Operations (AO).

1️⃣ Respect the Unit
Your first loyalty is to the unit. Every member of this outfit is your brother or sister-in-arms; treat them accordingly. ‘Friendly fire’ or conduct that undermines unit cohesion including toxicity, harassment, racism and hate speech are dead weight—we don’t carry it here. Any conduct that threatens the squad is a direct violation of this outfit’s standing orders and will be subject to disciplinary action.

2️⃣ Uniform and Insignia
Your callsign (username) and insignia (profile picture) must adhere to regulation and be squared away. ‘Stolen valor’ (impersonating another member) is considered grounds to get yourself permanently discharged from the AO.

3️⃣ Operational Security (OPSEC)
All personnel are responsible for maintaining strict OPSEC. Loose Lips Sink Ships. The disclosure of a warfighter’s Personally Identifiable Information (PII), or ‘doxing,’ is a severe security breach and an act of treason and will be treated as such. What’s said in DMs stays in DMs. Public channels are considered unsecure and potentially monitored by hostiles.

4️⃣ Clean Comms
All warfighters will maintain professionalism on the wire. While salty language is a fact of life in the field, excessive profanity is just static on the line and degrades the signal for everyone. For joint operations, English is the common operating language on all public channels to ensure clear comms for Command. Secure lines, Your private comms (private channels) are your own business.

5️⃣ Network Integrity
Our lines of communication are a primary target. Any warfighter who intentionally or unintentionally jams the comms is compromising the entire unit’s security. Jamming the comms with repetitive messages, excessive pings, or irrelevant data (spamming) is a breach of protocol. If you’re jamming our lines, we’ll take you off the air.

6️⃣ Prohibited Materials
The distribution of contraband on this network is strictly forbidden. Trafficking in materials designed to degrade or divide this Area of Operations is an act of psychological warfare (psyops). This includes enemy propaganda (hateful/violent/malicious content) and morale-degrading agents (NSFW/illicit sexual imagery).

7️⃣ No Black Market
This is a forward operating base, not a bazaar. Using our comms lines for unauthorized personal or commercial enterprise is considered wartime profiteering and is strictly prohibited. Any sanctioned trade will be confined to designated channels. Any exceptions require prior authorization from High Command. Don’t make us shut you down.
