    IACMC: THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COMBAT & MILITARIA COLLECTORS is a forum/group originally formed in January of 2008 for the express purpose of being a place where collectors from around the world can come post photos & engage in civil discussions about their collections.

    We KNOW there are quite a few forums/groups out there on the internet, and many of us belong to many of them. HOWEVER, we saw the need to have a somewhat comprehensive site that incorporates a broad spectrum of collecting. Too many of the current forums/groups (if not most all of them) only cater to a specific field of collecting. Some examples are: East German forums, US forums, WWII German forums, 1/6th figures forums & Vietnam collectors groups. Since we, personally collect all sorts of different things from various countries, we thought "why not have a forum that covers it all" So we created the IACMC forum.

    FEATURES:

    We have forums/categories representing ALL countries, ALL aspects of the hobby, ALL time periods & ALL wars/conflicts. Amoung our ranks are collectors in the fields of Armour, Aviation, US militaria, Central American militaria, African militaria, European militaria, Vietnam, WWII, camouflage, OIF/OEF & Warsaw Pact. We even have several headgear collectors.

    So PLEASE join us...it's free & share your knowledge & photos of you collections with us. We are here to learn & grow from each other and look forward to creating friendships that will last a lifetime & beyond. And the BEST PART...It only takes a min to register.

    DISCLAIMER:
    RULES,REGULATIONS & RESTRICTIONS:

    Please take some time to thoroughly review the rules & regulations of the IACMC forum. We expect ALL members; including the moderating staff & administration, to adhere to the following set of guidelines. The guidelines are posted for a reason. The reason is simple, it is so that ALL members & guests can be AWARE of what IS allowed & what's NOT in the IACMC. By joing the IACMC you agree to follow the rules & guidelines as set forth below. (NOTE: the administration reserves the right to modify rules at any given time with or without notice. ALL members WILL be notified in the FORUM NEWS & INFORMATION section if a rule is added or modified.)

    First & foremost...The IACMC & its Administration ARE NOT responsible for any photos, posts, discussion topics, views, emails, personal messages or chat that are posted by our membership & staff. IACMC takes a NEUTRAL stand as far as Politics & Religion go. By registering and posting in the forums of IACMC, you agree that IACMC, it's administration, staff & members ARE NOT & WILL NOT be held responsible for any photos, posts, discussion topics, views, emails, personal messages or chat that are posted.

    IACMC WILL NOT tolerate any sexual/pornographic comments, pornographic links or photos.

    IACMC WILL NOT tolerate any advertising or advertising links. The exception to this rule is advertising for militaria related items which ARE ALLOWED in the appropriate section.

    IACMC WILL NOT tolerate trolling or soliciting. By trolling we mean coming into the forum with the sole purpose of posting controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.

    IACMC WILL ALLOW political discussion & topics ONLY in the BARRACKS section. NO political debate/posts/comments are to be found in ANY other section. Political debate & discussion are generally ALWAYS heated & CAN BE offensive to those residing in both your country & other countries. So PLEASE use respect, be tactful & show courtesy when mentioning anything political in nature. While IACMC understands that WE all have opinions, PLEASE be courteous to others when expressing them. IACMC PREFERS THAT POLITICAL DISCUSSIONS DO NOT TAKE PLACE IN THE FORUM.

    IACMC WILL NOT ALLOW discussion of religion & religious topics. The EXCEPTION to this is if it directly relates to militaria. THIS IS TO RESPECT OTHERS RELIGIOUS OR NON-RELIGIOUS BELIEFS.

    IACMC WILL NOT ALLOW discussion of other forums UNLESS it is positive in nature. IACMC WILL ALLOW for links to other forums to be posted in the appropriate section. We just ask that negative comments or opinions NOT be made. We WILL REMOVE any post that violates this policy.

    ANY COMMENTS, POSTS AND/OR TOPICS WHICH VIOLATE ANY OF THE ABOVE STANDARDS ARE SUBJECT TO BEING EDITED OR DELETED. THE MEMEBER MAKING THE COMMENTS ARE SUBJECT TO A WARNING WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF SUSPENSION OR BEING PERMANANTELY REMOVED FROM THE FORUM.

    IACMC understands that inevitably ALL members will not agree on ALL topics & ideas ALL the time. There WILL be disagreements & tempers will flair. This is completely normal, it happens in marriages & relationships....so it will definately happen in forums as well. all IACMC asks is that when disagreeing with someone or when correcting someones mistakes...please USE CAUTION and BE COURTEOUS. Also please show or provide links to backup your reasoning if it is available.

    We all know how it feels to be told "SORRY PAL...YOU ARE WRONG" or "THAT IS FAKE", it is NOT fun to hear...SO please keep in mind how you feel when told that....when correcting or disagreeing with someone else.

    IF IACMC ADMINISTRATORS OR STAFF DETERMINE THAT THE COMMENTS, POSTS AND/OR TOPICS ARE GETTING OUT OF HAND OR ARE BECOMING TOO NEGATIVE OR OFFENSIVE, THE POST WILL BE LOCKED TO PREVENT FURTHER DAMAGE.

    IACMC WILL NOT delete posts off unless they violate any of the discrimination policies. We believe that the posts should stand as reference, whether good, bad or ugly and even if they get hostile. If a topic is LOCKED...then generally a reason will be posted in that topic explaining why.

    If any member believes a post to be inappropriate, please contact a member of administration, and appropriate action will be taken if necessary.

    IACMC WILL NOT tolerate PERSONAL INFORMATION such as address, phone numbers, etc. being displayed on the forum.
    ANY member caught doing this WILL BE permanently removed from the forum. The exceptions are if a member wishes to display or use his or her full name and/or your location.

    IACMC WILL NOT tolerate ANY personal attacks or harassment by members on other members. We realize that some members have or will have issues with other members, be it from other forums, other's opinions, etc. IACMC STRONGLY RECOMMENDS that those members IGNORE each other. ANY posts or comments that violate this rule WILL be subject to being edited or removed.

    IACMC reserves the right to lock, delete or edit ANY post that we deem as necessary with or without reason & with or without notification.

    IACMC reserves the right to remove ANY member from the forum that we deem as necessary with or without reason & with or without notification.

    IACMC does not review the personal messages sent between members. BUT we do expect the same strict standards to be upheld when utilizing the message system. If any member receives a message that they feel to be inappropriate, please forward it to a member of administration, and appropriate action will be taken.

    IACMC reserves the right to add to, edit or delete these rules at any time with or without reason & with or without notification as we see fit for the protection & benefit of the forum & it's members.

    Let me make one thing crystal clear to all our forum members....DO NOT BE RUDE! This forum will not tolerate rudeness in any way, shape or form. It is okay to discuss things, but when you start being rude, that is where I draw the line.

    One more thing, if you are rude to one of my Admin Moderators or Moderators, you will be BANNED. The Admin Mods and Mods spend a lot of their time on here working to provide a nice, positive atmosphere. I will not tolerate members being rude to them.
