Some rules to get your started. Bear in mind that this forum is a focal point for "like" minded people to get together on ServicePals.

1. Try to limit your public data, Dave from REME is better than number rank name unit etc.

2. Express what you are looking for, "old members of 1st Regiment 1980", "Bruggen 1992" etc.

3. No screenshots of accounts unless sanatised with names and faces covered.

4. No crusades regarding groups, language, grammar ability unless you are making mods aware of something that would breach standard site rules e.g racism. No he/shes a chav look at this photo. We dont care. Remember that the Forces 365 site and others are nothing to do with ARRSE so complain to them if theres a problem.

5. Age watch out for juniors and have a bit of common sense if they post on here, do not jump down their throat becuase dah tlk l1k dis m8.

6. Respect privacy, if a soldier falls DO NOT post their account on here with RIP etc, this is not a circus. If your a close mate then go to the family and funeral, do not bring their social network accounts into the publics (and the Press) eyes.

7. Flaming of users posts, expect your reply to be deleted if it brings zero value to the conversation. Save your toilet humour for the NAAFI.
