Forums

Your use of the forums, message boards, and any other public discussion medium (collectively, the "Forums") hosted by CadetStuff.org indicates your acceptance of the CadetStuff.org legal notice, privacy policy, those terms found on the registration page and in this Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP"). The AUP can be modified at any time, and your continued use of the Forums indicates your acceptance of the modified terms that can be found at http://www.cadetstuff.org/static/_acceptable_use_policy.htm.  Specific forums may have additional terms of service, available at the respective sites, in addition to those found in this agreement. CadetStuff.org advises you to review any and all such terms of service.

Please remember that the open and real-time nature of these Forums makes it is impossible for us to vouch for the validity of any content posted.  Heck, we can’t even vouch for our own validity sometimes (and we’ve been meaning to talk to our therapists about this..).

As such, we are not responsible for any messages posted nor the consequences of following any advice offered within Forum posts.  The views expressed in the posts you will find in these forums belong solely to their respective authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of CadetStuff.org, its affiliates, and/or sponsors. If you find any posts in these Forums to be offensive or objectionable, please contact us via email to either the forum administrator account (forums@cadetstuff.org) or the address offered as a contact for the Forums in question. If we determine that removal of a post or posts is necessary, we will make reasonable efforts to do so in a timely manner. Keep in mind that we’re all volunteers and none of us sits up late at night staring at a screen, waiting for someone to post something inappropriate.

By using these Forums, you agree to the following:

• You will not post any material that is knowingly false, misleading, or inaccurate.
• You will not behave in an abusive and/or hateful manner, and will not harass, threaten, nor attack anyone (this includes bashing someone by name.  Theoretical discussions of leadership situations is acceptable, but when you start naming names, squadrons & wings, that crosses the line)
• When told to read the manual, you won’t whine about how “a manual isn’t really meant to be followed, since its not a reg..”
• You will not use profanity in our forums, and will neither post with language or content that is obscene, sexually oriented, or sexually suggestive nor link to sites that contain such content.
• You will respect other people's right to personal privacy and will not post any other person's identifying information (including their names, contact information, and any other relevant information) within the forum but your own.  Goofball pictures of your buddies doing something extremely stupid are always welcome.
• You will not use these forums to violate any laws, regulations, manuals or other “published guidance” of higher HQ, or to discuss illegal, immoral or fattening activities.
• You will not to impersonate any person or entity, forge headers or otherwise manipulate identifiers in order to disguise the origin of any posting, nor collect or store personal data about other users.   Leave that balderdash up to us.
• And speaking of impersonating: You shall not create additional user accounts. One user account per user. And we watch that stuff pretty closely.  Additional accounts will be deactivated without warning. If you want to change your username or something, let us know. But don't create another account and think you're being cool.
• You will not post any copyrighted material, nor link to any copyrighted material (with the exception of publicly available sites and pages that the legal owners of the copyrights have created to make that material freely available to the general public), unless that copyright is owned by you or by CadetStuff.
• You will not use these Forums for the purposes of sharing or distributing viruses, licenses, registration information, software keys, "cracks," or other information designed to do harm to or allow unlawful access to any computer hardware, software, networks, or any other systems.  Posting the lock combination to wing supply, while much appreciated by those of us with a military equipment fetish, is also probably not a good idea.
• You will not post advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, or solicitations, all of which are inappropriate and prohibited in the Forums. You will not, furthermore, collect personal information about forum members for the purpose of sending them any such advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, or solicitations through other means (email, messaging programs, etc.).  If you do come up with a way to multi-level market CadetStuff swag, let us know first. We want the first 10% of the second 10% of 10% of everybody who’s selling.
• You will not post messages that are clearly outside of the stated topic of any Forums nor disrupt a forum by deliberately posting repeated irrelevant messages or copies of identical messages (also known as "flooding").
• You will not attempt to access any protected sections of the sites or Forums, nor make use of any hacks, cracks, bug exploits, etc. to bypass or modify the features of the forum software at any CadetStuff.org site.  Again, leave that kind of claptrap to us.
• You will, if asked by a representative of CadetStuff, cease posting any content, and/or links to content, deemed offensive, objectionable, or in poor taste by the staff of the Forums. Failure to do so will result in a warning. Two or more warnings may be grounds for removal from the forums.

At all times, you remain solely responsible for anything found within your posts and agree to indemnify and hold CadetStuff.org. and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, co-branders or other partners, relatives, subordinates, dogs, cats, chickens, etc,  harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of any material you submit, post to or transmit through the Forums, your use of the Forums, your connection to the Forums, your violation of the lacceptable use policy, legal notice, or privacy policy, or your violation of the rights of another.

CadetStuff.org does not and cannot review all of the content of every message posted and does not accept responsibility for the contents of any messages. We reserve the right to delete any message and/or restrict posting rights in our Forums for any reason whatsoever. Should you continue to post messages that violate the rules of the Forums, your account may be terminated, your access to the Forums may be banned, and your service provider(s) and/or unit commander may be contacted about your behavior. Furthermore, we expressly reserve our rights under the law to take any other actions we deem necessary, up to and including making you do pushups until we get tired..

We CadetStuff.org also reserve the right to disclose personal information when required by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to conform to the edicts of the law or comply with a legal process served on CadetStuff.org, protect and defend the rights or property of CadetStuff.org 's network of sites, or visitors to CadetStuff.org, identify persons who may be violating the law, the legal notice, or the rights of third parties, and cooperate with the investigations of purported unlawful activities. (But lets all keep it from ever getting to that point, shall we?)
