Code of Conduct

U.S. Military Gamers Code of Conduct

These standards apply to all members across every US Military Gamers platform — including usmilitarygamers.com and all subdomains, the USMG Discord server, all social media pages, Twitch, community forums, and any other space operated by or affiliated with USMG.

This document covers the core governance-level standards all members are expected to uphold. For the full operational rules — including registration, forum posting, avatars, signatures, and private messaging — see the Community Rules page.

General Conduct

  • 1 This is an English-speaking community. All communication on USMG platforms must be in English. Military slang and abbreviations are welcome.
  • 2 Every member deserves equal respect. We expect common courtesy, honesty, and professionalism from all members and staff. Harassment, bullying, trolling, or intentionally antagonizing other members will not be tolerated.
  • 3 Racist language, hate speech, or content targeting individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexuality, or national origin will result in permanent and immediate removal from all USMG platforms.
  • 4 Political, racial, and other divisive hot-button topics are not welcome on USMG platforms. This is a gaming community — there are plenty of other places for those discussions.
  • 5 No Stolen Valor. Falsifying military credentials, service history, or rank to gain status or sympathy in this community will result in immediate and permanent removal from all USMG platforms. Everyone is welcome here as they are — integrity matters.
  • 6 Adult or 18+ content must be kept in appropriately designated channels or spaces. Do not post adult content in general-audience areas.
  • 7 Sharing links to pirated software, cracks, keygens, or any material that violates copyright law is not permitted.
  • 8 Verified members who represent US Military Gamers on social media or in external communities are expected to uphold these same standards. Conduct that reflects poorly on USMG may result in loss of that representation and further action.

Moderation and Enforcement

  • 9 The USMG administration and moderation team reserves the right to edit, remove, or restrict any content across any USMG platform at any time. Moderation actions are taken at the discretion of USMG staff and will always be handled professionally.
  • 10 Use the “Report this post” feature to flag content that violates these rules. Do not engage with content you have reported — let staff handle it.
  • 11 If you have a concern about the conduct of a moderation staff member, contact an administrator directly. Do not raise staff conduct disputes publicly.
  • 12 Attempting to circumvent a ban or restriction — including by creating a new account, using a different device, or accessing USMG platforms through another member’s account — will result in escalated and permanent action across all platforms.
  • 13 Enforcement actions may escalate depending on the severity and pattern of the violation: a formal warning, a temporary restriction, or a permanent ban. Staff will always handle enforcement professionally.
  • 14 This community was built on the principle that “It’s about the gamer next to you” — remember that.
