FORUM RULES:
The following Forum Rules applies to all users of this board, 501st Legion members or otherwise. Failure to comply with these Forum Rules may result in the restriction, suspension, or revocation of access to the forum.

1. No Reposting - the contents of this message group are private. The Member's only section are for GGG members only. DO NOT repost any information without proper permission.

2. No profanity. Please keep it G/PG rated. While younger folks normally don't read this list, they might be reading over Daddy or Mommy's shoulder. Also G/PG language helps to keep tempers cool.

3. No "flaming". If you really feel you must argue, KEEP IT “OFF-LIST” OR TAKE IT "OFF-LIST". This includes no trolling/baiting (i.e. posting in such a manner as to intentionally provoke a negative response).

4. The contents of personal mail are personal. If the original sender did not post to this forum, DO NOT post copies or replies to this forum. If it warrants, privately inform the Garrison Command Staff.

5. Please truncate messages (refrain from quoting previous posts) when possible as a courtesy to those getting e-mail digests from this forum.

6. Please try to keep posts as "On Topic" as possible (i.e. related to 501st events, activities, votes, armor mods, etc.) except for the "Off Topic" forum. When posting a new topic or a response to a topic, please pause and think. Remember that your post will be visible to all the members of this message board and may not necessarily be a positive contribution.

7. Sales of merchandise. Please keep all "non-501st" sales/trades posts limited to our "For Sale/For Trade" forum and the rules listed there. Official and approved 501st merchandise should ONLY be offered to 501st members through the "Legion Merchandise Forum" of the 501st Legion board and our Garrison forum in non-public areas. “Official merchandise” is to be sold at cost. Exceptions to this might include a fundraiser where any profit would go to charity or to fund additional 501st merchandise as gifts or giveaways. Appropriate sales include official 501st merchandise that bears the 501st name or logo (including Garrisons, Squads, and other 501st groups) and that have been approved by the Legion Merchandise Officer. If you are not sure if your merchandise qualifies as "official", ask the Legion Merchandise Officer (see 501st.com to find out who currently serves in this position). To have your merchandise information posted in the Merchandise forum, email all the details, including a link to the artwork, to the Legion Merchandise Officer.
Approval of Merchandise: If the merchandise contains 501st Legion name or logo, it must be pre-approved by the Legion MBO. If the merchandise contains GGG name or logo, it is also required to be pre-approved by the Garrison Command Staff by submitting it through the Garrison Merchandise Officer.
Logo Rules - Merchandise containing the 501st Legion Logo shall comply with the logo rules: http://www.501st.com/logoarchive/jpegfiles.htm

8. NO Discussion of Politics or Religion (even in the Off Topic Forum). Discussions of this nature only serve to cause arguments and hard feelings. There are plenty of other message boards for discussing such topics. This board is for discussing the Golden Gate Garrison, the 501st, and Imperial Star Wars related costuming.

9. Controversial topics that need resolution at the Legion Council level should not attempt resolution in general discussion areas. Posts that bring attention to these issues are permitted, but Moderators reserve the right to lock topics that are out of control and no longer productive due to excessive opinionated or repetitive posts.

10. Promoting other Clubs - Do NOT post events or promotional info for other clubs, this is a communications forum for the GGG and 501st only.

DISCIPLINARY ACTION: To be fair, violators of any of these guidelines will be given 2 warnings and their offending posts may be edited or deleted. The 3rd violation will result in restricted posting abilities for a one-week period. With an established history of violations that include restricted posting, repeat offenders may be placed on immediate posting restriction without warning. Severe violations such as blatant and hateful attacks may result in instant posting restrictions, without the benefit of a warning. The moderators of this board will attempt to be as fair and unbiased as possible, and have been selected based upon their ability and demonstrated history to act as such.

Thank you.

Golden Gate Garrison Command Staff
