Spelling and Grammar:
Your spelling WILL be acceptable. That is why the Spelling and Grammar thread is there. If you fail to use Spellcheck and your post is truly incomprehensible you will recieve an informal warning. If your posts continue as such I will remove them and you WILL be placed on warning status.
Remember that the Spell Check button is only a few centimetres to the left of the Post button.
Your Knowledge:
It has been brought to my attention that some of you are talking way out of your league and posting things without backing up your answers with proof. To CF members that is a really large peeve of theirs and it is clearly understood by me and many of the cadets here. Remember that it is OK to ask questions if they relate to the thread subject..But if you clearly cannot support your answer then DON'T!
I have seen the phrase : "Stay in the cadet fourms" said many times by possibly some of the members who are most patient with the cadets. So clearly there is something wrong.. If someone asks a valid question about a weapon or equipment possibly. Only answer if you have proof...Clearly a cadet telling people what kind of sniper rifle is better without providing any proof or telling of their experience thats going to tick people off real bad.
Pulling Rank:
Problem: Some members have shown disrespect to some moderators because of their rank, myself included. Here is the thing. I don't mind joking, kidding around, etc but I do mind when you dont follow the rules and I'm forced to speak to you and you come back with some smartbum remark. THERE IS ZERO TOLERANCE ON THIS.
Solution: As said ZERO tolerance. Be a smartbum because I'm doing my job then you will not like the unhappy me...also..warnings may follow.
Starting Multiple Threads covering the Same Subject
We don't need a brand new thread for every cadet who goes away to camp. We also don't need a thread dedicated to each individual course, please refrain from starting new threads when you can easily add on to an old one. This holds especially true for those that feel the need to dedicate a thread to each year they go to camp, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that if everyone did that we would have zero bandwidth. If you feel that you need a dedicated thread to cover a specific topic then go ahead, otherwise please keep it to one.
Also, about starting threads, if you have one locked do not just go and start a new one to pick up where you left off. Threads get locked for a reason and anyone feeling the need to go around the Staff and do whatever they like will get an introduction to the Warning System.
This has been compiled from the other threads that were stickied. They are now gone.
Any problems may be brought to the attention of myself or Scott.
Inappropriate Discussion:
Recently there have been some issues regarding inappropriate talk inside the cadet forum. To ensure the issue is dealt with, the moderator staff has agreed that anyone posting inappropriately regarding any of the following;
Will face a ban. There are no exceptions.
With regards to sexist and racist comments, the same rule applies.
If you have any questions, you may send me a PM, or email me at burrows@army.ca.
