-
Honour your corps and don't
bring into disrepute the Royal Air Force or the Royal Air Force Regiment
-
Do not make fun of or ridicule
the Her Majesty the Queen or any member of the Royal family (as other military
sites allow on their forums and message boards).
-
Do not post pictures that are
too pornographic, remember the lady members, and it could get the club
deleted. However material that has appeared in the pin-up album has been
OK.
-
No advertising. A message board
or forum is not the place for commercial posts and is not allowed by Yahoo
Clubs anyway. Adverts can be included in the Newsletter though. Commercial
ads will be deleted.
-
Identify yourself if possible.
If you genuinely want to contact your old mates then remaining anonymous
is not the way to do it. However any members who do not wish to give any
details about themselves have the right to do so as long as they realise
that they may be viewed with a certain amount of suspicion by other members,
as few people will respond to an anonymous post asking for someone to contact
them.
-
Politics and religious issues
should be avoided on the message board.
-
Please keep it friendly. If
you do want an argument, then do it by e-mail.
-
Do not patronise other members.
If you are 'clever' or intellectually advanced (or think you
are) we don't want to know unless it is relevant to the club or it's
members. Anyone can be a 'smart arse'.
-
When posting messages, spelling,
syntax, sentence construction, eloquent language and pedantic use of English
is not necessary (in line with normal net etiquette).
-
Whatever rank you were doesn't
matter any more. We are all civilians and whatever a members past rank,
his or hers opinion is to be respected.
-
Don't use the message board
to criticise the founders. If you want to criticise or complain use the
correct facility, as the club is in the public domain.
-
The founders reserve the right
(under yahoo club rules) to delete any messages or material which could
cause offence and delete any member who causes offence to the founders
or other members, by being abusive, or disrupts the smooth running of the
club. Remember, we are civilians! If you were an NCO or above
and and have served with any members of the club and decide to criticise
any part of their service publicly (it has happened) then you are
in the wrong club.
-
Do not post messages which have
sympathy with or openly supports terrorism or specific terrorist groups.
-
Read the Yahoo Club guidelines
and if you decide to resign ( for whatever reason) Please leave quietly!
