Rules & Conduct

Harassment, stalking, bullying, excessively annoying behaviour, or doxxing of another member is not tolerated under any circumstances.

If any of the above takes place outside of the unit, the individual may face punishment starting from Tier E.

Harassment and bullying on our own platforms can be handled through lower tiers of the disciplinary action scale.

Stalking and doxxing are considered especially serious and have no place in this community.

Excessively annoying behaviour is defined as behaviour which continually annoys others and makes members of the unit unhappy to be here.

Doxxing is defined as the release of personal information without the prior consent of that same person.

Racist remarks, symbolism, or ideals are never permitted on any USEC platform.

Denial of genocide is strictly forbidden on all of our platforms.

Pornographic, obscene, or suggestive images, videos, or content are not permitted on our platforms. If you must share this type of content, keep it to Direct Messages.

The spreading of malware or malicious software through our platforms is strictly prohibited.

Poaching or any other unsavoury activities that would damage or negatively affect the unit, its members, or its reputation is not tolerated.

"Community Disrepute" may be used to describe behaviour that paints USEC in a bad light, brings constant arguments into the unit, or causes repeated issues without apparent reason despite warnings from the Board of Directors.

No member of United Security may be part of any hostile unit.

A hostile unit is defined as a unit that is actively targeting USEC and its integrity, including through poaching, DMCA threats, blackmail, or similar conduct.

These rules apply 60 minutes before the start of any main operation, during the operation, and until its end. They also apply during mini-operations and training sessions.

The use of third-party software mods or enhancements to improve performance or gain access to abilities ordinarily unavailable to members is forbidden, except for approved side-mods.

To get a mod allowed and signed as a side-mod on the main server, you must use the #suggestions channel in Discord.

All members are expected to show respect and act in accordance with the semi-serious aim of the milsim.

Semi-serious is defined as acting in the way a reasonable person would, with tact, common sense, sensibility, and maturity.

Team killing is not tolerated in any way, shape, or form and will be punished if deemed necessary by the Board of Directors.

Orders from a senior rank are to be followed unless they conflict with unit rules.

If any member has grievances related to another member of United Security, they should contact their Squad Leader.

Excessive use of soundboards in operations is not allowed. Excessive use is defined as continuous use without reason within the context of the conversation.

Pre-operation misconduct is defined as trolling, childishness, or misbehaviour in the 60 minutes prior to briefing. This includes use of explosives, teamkilling, unnecessary yelling, running around, and not following orders.

Game ruining is defined as the deliberate destruction of objectives, storyline, or the experience of other players.

The in-game chat may only be used for requesting Zeus help in emergencies.

All USEC members are required to follow the uniform guidelines.

Custom gear may only be worn by the member it is made for, unless that member allows someone else to use it.

All weapons are allowed provided they follow the equipment guidelines.

The following weapons and equipment are forbidden from use.

The chain of command refers to the integrated hierarchy present in the United Security rank structure.

The chain of command is used to ensure issues are brought to the correct people.

Chain of command: Corporal < Sergeant < Staff Sergeant < First Sergeant < Lieutenant < Captain < Commander

All normal members of USEC are required to attend at least 3 main operations every 4 weeks in order to maintain their rank.

Members not meeting this requirement will be demoted every 4 weeks that they fail to attend at least 3 operations.

Members may not be demoted past PFC.

PFCs failing to attend at least 1 operation in the last cycle will be warned at the beginning of a 4-week cycle and then removed at the end of the period if the attendance requirement is still not met.

Exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis.

Veteran Operators do not have attendance requirements.

Members on LOA will not have their attendance reviewed for the duration of the LOA.

If a member cannot attend, they must decline the invitation from the Apollo bot in #main-op-announcements on Discord at least one hour before the operation begins, usually 17:30 UTC.

If the invitation is not declined by then, the member may receive an AWOL.

Once a member reaches 3 consecutive AWOLs, they face the possibility of removal due to inactivity.
