• Tides of War is war game Community site. There are no subversive operatives on our staff, there are no personal vendentas, and there are, to the best of our knowledge, not any active members of the Military on Administration Staff.

Accordingly, as Administrators of this site, we monitor the contents with our standards. As best we can, we try to maintain a family orientation to all matters on this site, as we are personally aware that children as young as 6 read our forums. We adopt a flexable approach to most matters, and allow our members, the priviledge (NOT THE RIGHT) to post on this site.

As such, the following is NOT ACCEPTABLE on this site.

• Details of military movements
• Photographs of any current military targets/weapons/equipment
• Support or comdenation for any government, official, head of state or organization

If you feel you are unable to cope with these restrains, please contact us via email or message and we will be more than happy to supply the links to another source which may be more appropiate for you.

Where a complaint is received relating to any of the aforementioned matters, a TowNet Representative will conduct preliminary inquiries, and pass the complaint and initial inquiries on for further investigation to a TowNet Administrator.

The investigating ToWNet Administrator will review the alleged breach and may call upon any other member to validate or negate any version. If at the conclusion of the investigation the complaint is found to be malicious or fictitious, the member who lodged the complaint will render themselves liable to the same punishment as if they themselves had committed the breach, whether or not such breach is committed.

The TowNet Administrator at the conclusion of the investigation shall take such action as is necessary, and such action may include:

• No further action
• A warning
• The suspension of privileges
• The deletion of their membership
• In the event of any form of criminal activity, the provisioning of a brief of evidence to the appropriate judicial authority for prosecution.

TowNet is committed to the creation of a safe environment for it’s members and guests. In doing so ToWNet may as necessary, issue further guidelines that will be posted upon the ToWNet’s Tides of War Site.
