#Rules

1. Be Respectful

Be respectful, bullying doesn't get you anywhere.

2. NSFW Content

You MUST mark ALL NSFW content as such.

3. No Contemporary Politics

While repercussions of the First World War are being felt today, there's little reason to discuss contemporary politics, unless they have a direct relation to the war.

4. No Bigotry

Hate speech or racism is an instant ban.

5. Impressions must be WW1

Impressions must fit within the 1914-1919 time frame. 1919 is chosen as the cutoff date to include the Siberian Expedition, which many scholars have decided is a continuation from the Great War.

Not to say anything outside of WW1 isn't cool, just gotta keep it focused.

6. No Impression is better than another

You're not cooler than someone because you do the White Russians and do the Reds. All impressions have equal merit.

7. Ask for permission before critiquing

We are all learning here! This is what is here to help! Before critiquing someone, ensure to ask permission. They maybe well aware they're wearing the wrong boots! Just be nice and ask, most people are more than happy to accept help or criticism

NOT BEING 'DIRTY ENOUGH' ISN'T A CRITIQUE

8. Do your research!

While this subreddit is here to help, it's not here to spoonfeed information. Questions like "what rifle did the Canada use in WW1" will be removed, as it can be found with simple googling. Instead a more acceptable question would be "why didn't Canada use the SMLE at the start of WW1?"

9. Have proper evidence

If you say something was done, and someone says it wasn't, have evidence to prove it! This can be photos, paintings, documents, interviews, etc. Unfortunately, word of mouth isn't good enough.
