Standards for keeping BaseSwap a trusted marketplace for service members.

OPSEC Reminders
Do not share rank, unit, or exact duty location in listing descriptions or messages. Profiles are first-name only. Even with verified users, avoid exposing operational details in marketplace communication.
Conduct
Meet in well-lit public areas on or near base for exchanges. Use BaseSwap messaging until trust is established, and report users who behave inappropriately, pressure off-platform communication, or violate guidelines.
Enforcement
Listings that violate these standards may be removed without notice. Repeated or severe violations can result in account suspension.
