PLEASE READ-RULES FOR MEMBERS

Rules-Please Read

If you are new to the forum…welcome and please read the following.

Firstly you should read http://www.ww2incolor.com/phpBB2/faq.php

Secondly, while the moderators of this forum will attempt to remove or edit any generally objectionable material as quickly as possible, it is impossible to review every message. Therefore all the users acknowledge that all posts added in this forum express the views and opinions of their author only and not the administrators, moderators, webmaster or other members (except for posts by these people) and hence they will not be held liable.

The users also agree not to post any abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, racist, xenophobic, sexually-oriented or any other material that may violate applicable laws. Doing so may lead to the authors of such posts being immediately and permanently banned (and their service provider being informed).

Please do not fight on this site. If you want to continue a discussion that the moderators have deemed fighting go to Private Messaging(PM). Remember to always treat others on the site with respect. EVEN IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THEM.

Do not post other members PM’s on the site. If you recieve a PM from a member that you feel is offensive please forward it to our current administrators/moderators:ww2admin, Gen. Sandworm ,FW-190 Pilot, Dani and Firefly. We will then discuss it with that person and take action from there.

Furthermore, it is not a moderator’s job to take personal sides on an ‘forum’ issue. We are here to keep the forum clean and respectable. We will attempt to be fair to all. If you feel that you are being treated unfairly please PM the moderator’s and state your problem.

Also please search through our message board to see if someone has already posted a similar topic, repeat topics should be deleted, any users who do repeat topic or a topic that has been forbidden… on purpose will be dealt with harshly.

Always attempt to post reliable sources. “I heard Tojo smacked F.D.R. in the head with a shoe” that comes from Fishy Bob’s Swimming Shack site is not a reliable source. :slight_smile:

I understand that everyone makes mistakes. I will only give persons who post unacceptable avatars a couple of warnings and then they will not be allowed to have them anymore.
