CHAPTER 1: Welcome to the 7th Legion
Welcome to the 7th Legion.
Whether you joined because of YouTube, Arma, friends, or simply wanted a structured military gaming experience, we're happy to have you.
The 7th Legion exists to provide immersive military operations while building a welcoming community that values teamwork, leadership, creativity, and respect.
While our campaigns strive for realism, our community exists first and foremost for people.
We are not simply another Discord server.
We are a community.
Everything we build from campaigns and training to videos, mods, and charity events is possible because of the members who volunteer their time to make it happen.
Every member contributes to the Legion's reputation.
Every interaction matters.
This handbook explains the standards expected of everyone who wears the 7th Legion name.
CHAPTER 2: Mission Statement
The mission of the 7th Legion is to create an organized, immersive, and welcoming military gaming community where members can develop leadership, teamwork, tactical skill, creativity, and lasting friendships.
We accomplish this by providing:
Story-driven military campaigns
Organized training
Historical and fictional operations
Professional community leadership
High quality media production
Opportunities for members to earn recognition through participation and service
CHAPTER 3: Our Core Values
Every decision made within the 7th Legion should reflect these six values.
I. Respect
Every member deserves basic respect.
Disagreements are inevitable.
Disrespect is optional.
II. Teamwork
Success belongs to the team.
No individual is more important than the community.
III. Integrity
Do the right thing.
Even when nobody is watching.
Own your mistakes.
Accept correction.
Remain honest.
IV. Professionalism
We enjoy ourselves.
We joke.
We laugh.
However, when representing the Legion, we expect members to know when to act professionally.Swearing at someone in a chaotic moment in an op is fine, but there is a fine line between that and intentionally trying to harm someone and some can go a bit too far with what they say, by “crashing out”.
V. Leadership
Leadership is Commitment.
Rank is responsibility.
Leaders exist to support members not the other way around.
VI. Community
The friendships built here matter.
Protect them.
Encourage new members.
Help people learn.
Leave the community better than you found it.
CHAPTER 4: Member Expectations
Every member is expected to:
✔ Read this handbook.
✔ Follow leadership.
✔ Respect other members.
✔ Wear authorized uniforms during official operations.
✔ Use assigned loadouts.
✔ Help new players.
✔ Report serious misconduct.
✔ Represent the Legion positively.
✔ Accept constructive criticism.
✔ Have fun without ruining someone else's experience.
Failure to meet these expectations may result in corrective action.
CHAPTER 5: Code of Conduct

This includes:
Discord

(Current regulation is to be active in the community for at least 3 months before you are allowed to post your own content in the community, otherwise you can / will be seen as a Attention Seeker for views vs sustaining our community and YOU WILL BE REMOVED INSTANTLY). An alternate process is to contact your CoC and have them ask for permission on your behalf.
Do not advertise:
Other communities.
Products.
Discord servers.
Streams.
Recruitment.
Without approval.
CHAPTER 7: Respect & Professionalism
One of the fastest ways to destroy a community is by allowing disrespect to become normal.
Members should feel comfortable participating without fear of being overly mocked, harassed, or targeted.
That does not mean everyone must agree with each other.
Healthy disagreement is encouraged.
Personal attacks are not.
Examples of Unacceptable Conduct
Repeatedly insulting another member.
Publicly humiliating someone.
Mocking a person's voice, disability, family, religion, or background.
Encouraging others to gang up on a member.
Following someone between channels to continue an argument.
Using rank to intimidate another member.
Retaliating against someone for reporting misconduct.
"It Was Just a Joke"
Humor is part of our community.
However, humor stops being acceptable when:
The target asks you to stop.
It becomes repetitive.
It becomes sexual or degrading.
It creates a hostile environment.
It discourages someone from participating.
If leadership tells you to stop, the expectation is simple: stop.
CHAPTER 8: AI, Deepfakes & Digital Content
Artificial intelligence is a powerful tool and is welcome when used responsibly. However, it can also be misused to embarrass, impersonate, or harm members.
To protect our community, the following standards apply. (We know Dizzchungus started from AI, but I thought about it and to prevent anything from happening lets just stay away from it at all, as my wife brought up a very valid point to me about this and would rather we just not touch this kinda stuff going forward)
Acceptable Uses
Examples include:
Mission posters.
Lore artwork.
Unit graphics.
Cinematic trailers.
Fictional characters.
Voice enhancement for original content.
Community memes that do not target or misrepresent members.
Prohibited Uses
Members may not create or distribute AI-generated content that:
Sexualizes another member.
Depicts another member in explicit or compromising situations.
Falsely portrays a member committing crimes or misconduct.
Imitates another member's voice or identity to deceive others.
Fabricates evidence, screenshots, or conversations.
Damages another member's reputation.
Creating or sharing AI-generated sexual or humiliating content involving a community member may result in immediate permanent removal.
CHAPTER 9: NSFW & Explicit Content
The 7th Legion is not an adult-content community.
Members may not post, send, or distribute:
Pornography.
Explicit videos.
Nude images.
Graphic sexual memes.
Sexual AI-generated content.
Shock pornography.
Requests for intimate images.
Graphic Sexual comments directed at other members.
Additionally:
Do not pressure members into sharing personal or intimate content.
Do not use sexually explicit jokes to target or embarrass another person.
Do not create or share explicit edits of community members.
Violations of this policy are treated seriously and may result in immediate disciplinary action.
CHAPTER 10: Privacy & Personal Information
Respecting privacy is essential to maintaining trust.
Members may not:
Share another person's real name without permission.
Post personal addresses or phone numbers.
Share private messages to create drama.
Reveal someone's workplace or school.
Contact a member's family because of a community dispute.
Doxx or threaten to doxx another person.
If someone shares personal information with you privately, treat that trust with respect.
CHAPTER 11: Representing the 7th Legion
Whenever you wear the Legion tag, attend an official event, stream a Legion operation, or identify yourself as a member, your actions reflect on the community.
Members are expected to:
Be respectful to other communities.
Avoid unnecessary arguments.
Follow server rules when visiting another community.
Represent the Legion professionally.
Respect partnerships with creators, developers, and other organizations.
You are free to join and enjoy other communities. However, misconduct while publicly representing the 7th Legion may be reviewed if it harms our reputation or targets fellow members.
CHAPTER 12: Community Rewards
The 7th Legion recognizes dedication, service, and positive contributions through structured rewards rather than favoritism.
Members may earn recognition through:
Time in the community.
Consistent attendance.
Leadership.
Training achievements.
Community challenges.
Campaign accomplishments.
Development work.
Media contributions.
Recruitment efforts.
Acts of teamwork and professionalism.
Rewards may include:
Service stripes.
Roman numeral service marks.
Campaign ribbons.
Qualification badges.
Custom helmet details.
Approved cosmetic gear.
Certificates and commendations.
Special event recognition.
Custom gear is earned—it is not guaranteed.
CHAPTER 13: Reporting Concerns
If you experience or witness misconduct:
Stay calm.
Preserve evidence when possible.
Report the issue through the proper channels.
Avoid arguing publicly.
Allow staff to investigate.
False reports made intentionally are themselves a violation of this handbook.
Members who report concerns in good faith will not be punished simply because an investigation cannot confirm every allegation.
CHAPTER 14: Discipline & Appeals
The goal of discipline is to protect the community and help members improve—not to punish for the sake of punishment.
Depending on the severity of the violation, corrective action may include:
Verbal Reminder
Written Warning
Official Strike
Probation
Temporary Suspension
Demotion or Removal from Position
Permanent Removal from the Community
Members who believe a disciplinary decision was made in error may submit an appeal through the established process. Which is explained upon DA.
Each appeal will be reviewed fairly and impartially.
CHAPTER 15: CONTACT LIST
Dizz SHOULD NOT be the first person you ask, think to yourself “is this something an NCO would know, or an admin?” Members should attempt to resolve routine questions at the lowest appropriate level. This allows leadership to work efficiently and helps develop junior leaders. Skipping the chain of communication without good reason may result in being redirected to the appropriate individual and possibly even punished depending on the situation.
