GENERAL EAW FORUM

SimHQ has its own distinctive rules of conduct, however please take the time to read our own EAW Charter, drawn up over ten years ago:

Welcome to the European Air War (EAW) forum.

European Air War is just a game. The EAW forum is a group of people who play EAW, help others who want to play the game, create new skins, terrain, and utilities, which make the game more enjoyable. This group has become a community.

The EAW community is interested in aviation, especially WW2 military aviation and all that relates to that subject. Aviation nose art, military history, our father's war stories, official records, Vargas pinups, and everything else that occurred during or has been written about the war is considered to be "on-topic" for this forum.

This is a community of people who have become familiar with the likes, dislikes, personal tragedies, and often twisted sense of humor common to forum members. A small amount of OT posts are acceptable and indeed are quite healthy, "Babe" posts, for instance, are often used to "reward" participants for distinguished behavior, for the results of hard work, or just for the hell of it.

Take some time to become familiar with the others on the forum. Ask questions about EAW, your computer, WW2 aviation, or whatever you wonder about concerning EAW and WW2. If a post says "OT" for off-topic or ?Babe? and you don't like what you find there, leave that thread quietly and don't go back. It's that simple.

In an attempt to keep unreasonable or just plain vicious attacks off the forum, we suggest the following:

EAW Forum: Suggested Code of Conduct

#1: Do not post messages which are an attack on other people, places, genders, etc (such posts will earn you a ban). Instead, post your email address and request a response from whoever you want to engage in written combat. On-forum fights get nasty and leave wounds which damage our community.

Humorous posts in reasonable taste are always allowed. If someone insists on being offended, so be it.

Keep your political and religious views to yourself. We don't care if you are left-wing, right-wing or whether you worship snakes. Go visit a forum that caters to your particular brand of whatever-the-hell and unload there.

#2. If a topic makes you angry, log-off, drink a beer, walk the dog, run a couple of combat missions in EAW, and take some time before posting a response. If the anger is still there, read #1.

#3: If you are the subject of a personal attack, please do not respond but instead report the post to a moderator who will take appropriate action to ensure the harmony of the forums is maintained.

Again, Welcome to the forum. Wipe your feet, pull up a chair, and have fun!

GENTLE REMINDER

Hi all,
There are those who see EAW as a game and those who see EAW as a simulator. Some see it as a single play platform and others who prefer the on-line aspect. Finally there are those who are happy to follow either types of releases and those who want to push either of the development envelopes even further.

Such is the EAW forum and with the best will in the world, there will always be points of discussion or contention - its the nature of the beast.

As a timely reminder, would all forum members bear in mind the forum rules for posting or replying to threads. In particular the area that concerns inflamatory remarks/comments. These serve no purpose other than to create bad feelings and the subsequent 'flame' wars we've all experienced in the past. This can only end up as members posts being edited, blocked or deleted and ultimately the member being suspended from the forum.

We're all different and all human and will bite back if felt to have been agrieved.

Basically don't rise to the bait or respond to posts that you take personally. If you do feel the need to correspond with someone, do it via PM or e-mail - don't use the forum as a sound box to vent your feelings.

EAW SEAWC MEMBERS

The 'Society of European Air War Contributers' was set up some years ago to recognize those within the EAW community who create mods/skins for general use. Those SEAWC members 'signed on' to a charter, which can be viewed below:
