Rules

Section 1 | Community Standards
1.1
Respect others.

1.2
Uphold the image and community standards of BvAF in all public places, including other Discord servers, while streaming, uploading videos anywhere on the internet, interacting with users on Social media such as Reddit, or any other situation that involves you identifying yourself as a BvAF member in a public location. What you post could affect all of our experiences. 

1.3
Slurs of any kind will not be tolerated (age, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.) from any member, even as a joke or used sarcastically or even 'harmlessly' among friends.

1.4
Pornographic links, or materials, may not be posted on any BvAF platform.
While you're at it, think twice about posting anything a reasonable person might consider lewd or excessively edgy. We're not exactly prudes here but this is a place for everyone from all walks of life.

1.5
Harassment or excessive disrespect to other members will not be tolerated.

1.6
Doxxing members will not be tolerated, even if not done maliciously. Let users share what they want to about themselves.

1.7
If a member asks you to stop a certain behaviour, you should accommodate their request. If you feel their request is unreasonable, speak to a community admin about it in private.

1.8
If a community admin asks you to stop a certain behaviour, you should stop immediately. If you feel this is unreasonable, you can bring this to the attention of the CAG. The CAG's ruling is final.
1.9
We aim to maintain a welcoming, inclusive, and relaxing environment for all members. Therefore, we strictly prohibit any behaviour that is in bad faith, provokes or annoys others, or attempts to skirt the rules for the purposes of trolling or personal amusement. We expect all members to follow the rules in their spirit and contribute positively to this group. Any behaviour that is an attempt to skirt, test, or subvert the rules of this group will be dealt with as malicious behaviour.

For example, this includes but is not limited to behaviour such as:
Masking personal attacks as legitimate complaints 
Abusing legitimate functionality of your rank or privileges to irritate others
Engaging in common internet troll behaviour such as utilizing a chat or voice space in an intentional manner so that no other party can make reasonable use of it.
Intentionally interrupting or derailing conversations
Instigating negative responses out of members.

1.10
All members must be at least 18 years of age to join and play with us. Those found to be under this age will be removed immediately. 

1.11
All members are expected to maintain ownership of required modules. Currently this is:
The Persian Gulf Map
The Syria Map
The Nevada Training Map
The Supercarrier

One of the following aircraft:
F/A-18C
F-16Cm

1.12
In applicable situations, follow the chain of command.

1.13
Your Discord server nickname should match the name you applied with. You should generally not change your Discord server nickname without informing your CO/XO.

1.14
Your chosen name on your application should at least sound like a real name. It also should follow either of the following formats should you choose to include a surname: "J. Smith" or "Jane S." You do not need to use your real name.

Section 2 | Attendance

2.1
All members are required to RSVP for weekly operations. Currently this is done by RSVPing to the event posted in the #attendance on Discord. 

2.2
All members must have made a role selection on the event by 2200 CST on Friday, if you fail to RSVP before then you will be marked as an unexcused absence and will not be able to attend the mission the following day. 

2.3
You are allowed two unexcused absences per month. 

2.4
Exceeding the maximum unexcused absences a month will result in removal from our roster and being put as AWOL on our site.

2.5
Members marked AWOL may not participate in official operations until they have been re-interviewed by a community admin. 

2.6
You are allowed to mark yourself as “not attending” as much as you like; however, given long/unexplained periods of inactivity, you may be moved to reserves or removed entirely at your CO’s discretion.

2.7
Absences may later be excused by the member's CO/XO or the CAG, especially where unforeseeable circumstances prevented a member's attendance.
