Our rules are simple and few. This is who we are.

• Membership is voluntary and your level of activity in the SWA is up to you. Otherwise, we offer a banner and information exchange.
• Reports are neither required, nor encouraged with the exception of problem players - we ask that you inform the group as to the circumstances of these players, their name and email address, and their behavior causing the problem.
• It is encouraged that you display the SWA banner and link somewhere on your site. If you want to create a sister sims page based on the SWA, a template for this is available and will be updated when new banners are added to the membership.
• A banner is required for membership so that we may advertise your site with the others. The standard banner size is within 5 pixels of both dimensions of 470×130 pixels. Fleet banners are allowed and encouraged. This is the only mandatory requirement for membership.

• The first method of gaining membership is by petitioning to the group as a whole using the contacts page with a description of your site.
• The second method is to obtain hosting from the webmistress for your site. If that application is successful, a membership offer will be made.
• The third way is if you are asked to join by the current membership.
