A short version of our full [Rules of Engagement](/rules/) — worth reading in full, but here's the summary:
- Respect fellow members.** Disagree with ideas, not people. No harassment, no personal attacks.
- Mind operational security.** Never share classified, sensitive, or personally identifying operational details. When in doubt, leave it out.
- Keep it civil.** Hate speech and content inciting violence aren't tolerated.
- No spam or self-promotion.** This isn't the place to advertise unrelated products or services.
- Post in the right board.** Take a moment to find the most specific board for your topic before starting a new thread.
- Respect moderator decisions.** If you disagree with a call, reach out via Contact rather than escalating in-thread.
- Report, don't retaliate. See something that breaks the rules? Use the Report button rather than responding in kind.
Violations can result in content removal, a temporary mute, or a ban — we aim to be fair and proportionate, but we do act on this.
