* Be polite and civil,

* Use the original title of the work you are linking to,

* Link to the article or source of information that you are referring to,

* Make it clear what is your opinion and from what the source actually says. Please minimize editorializing, please make your opinions clearly distinct from the content of the article or source, please do not cherry pick facts to support a preferred narrative,

* Read the articles before you comment, and comment on the content of the articles,

* Post only credible, well-sourced information

* Leave a submission statement that justifies the legitimacy or importance of what you are submitting,

* Ask questions in the megathread, and not as a self post,

* Contribute to the forum by finding and submitting your own credible articles,

* Submit articles that will be relevant 5-10 years from now, and not ephemeral news stories

​

Please do not:

​

* Use memes, or emojis, excessive swearing, foul imagery,

* Use acronyms like LOL, LMAO, WTF, /s, etc,

* Start fights with other commenters,

* Make it personal,

* Try to out someone,

* Try to push narratives, or fight for a cause in the comment section, or try to ‘win the war,’

* Answer or respond directly to the title of an article,

* Submit news updates, or procurement events/sales of defense equipment.

* Engage in baseless speculation, fear mongering, or anxiety posting. Question asking is welcome and encouraged, but questions should focus on tangible issues and not groundless hypothetical scenarios. Before asking a question ask yourself ‘How likely is this thing to occur.’ Questions, like other kinds of comments, should be supported by evidence and must maintain the burden of credibility.
