General forum rules still applies!
The general forum terms rules does also apply to media and photo uploading

Remember that this is an open forum, everyone has access and it is listed in several search engines.
Do not provide any information or images/media
containing material that has not officially been released from your government,
or is in any way classified/protected by your government or any of your allies.
Do not use full names if you are talking about others than yourself!

Pictures of still serving military personell can not contain:
(unless these are official photos and/or the person(s) have agreed to publish the image)
1. Clearly visible faces (possible to easily identify the person(s))
2. Readable name tags, unit tags etc.
3. Other items that can help to identify the person(s) on the picture

You'll have to manually remove ("censor") images that do not follow
those rules if you wish to display them in the forum and/or gallery

Pictures from official (military) sites are ok for now, since we have to asume that
they have been cleared for public use.
