Please try your best to allow those who wish to train (e.g. practice their heli skills) to do so.

Discord Rules

These rules apply to all Command Squad Discord channels at all times.

1. Be respectful. Treat all members with respect. Harassment, bullying, flame-baiting, or dogpiling — public or private — will not be tolerated.
2. Keep profiles appropriate. Usernames, nicknames, avatars, and bios must be appropriate and non-offensive. Staff may request changes if necessary.
3. No spam or disruptive behavior. Spamming, excessive tagging, message flooding, mic spam, or intentionally disruptive behavior is not allowed.
4. Do not DM or @ staff without reason. Do not directly message or mass-mention staff unless explicitly instructed. Use the proper ticket or support channels for issues.
5. No self-promotion or advertising. Unapproved promotions, server invites, streams, or advertisements are not allowed.
6. Protect privacy. Do not share personal or private information — yours or anyone else's — without consent.
7. Zero tolerance for hate or harassment. Hate speech, slurs, threats, or targeted harassment will result in immediate action.
8. No political or religious debates. Political and religious topics are not permitted. This is a gaming community, not a debate stage.
9. No NSFW or illegal content. Sexual, NSFW, pirated, malicious, or otherwise suspicious content is strictly prohibited.
10. Use common sense. Rules are enforced based on intent, context, and history. Attempting to loophole the rules will not end well.
