Every member must treat others with respect, courtesy, and professionalism. Harassment, bullying, personal attacks, intimidation, or deliberately making another member uncomfortable will not be tolerated.

All members deserve equal treatment and opportunities within FGC. No individual should be treated unfairly because of their rank, experience, skill level, personal background, or opinions.

All genders must be treated equally and with respect. Sexist comments, gender-based insults, harassment, discrimination, or making inappropriate remarks about someone's gender will not be tolerated.
5. No Bullying or Harassment
Targeting, repeatedly insulting, threatening, or humiliating another member is prohibited. Disagreements should be handled maturely and without personal attacks.

FGC operates under a military-inspired rank structure. Members are expected to understand and respect the responsibilities and authority associated with each rank.
