The Code of Conduct is here to remind community members that effective and compassionate communication is essential to our mission.</p> <p>Everyone deserves a positive experience, regardless of age, disability, education, ethnicity, gender identity or expression, neurodiversity, nationality, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, race, religion (or lack thereof), number of visas in passport, experience with interstellar travel, or favorite flavor of tofu.</p> <p>The Code of Conduct sets some general guidelines for behavior that is and isn’t tolerated, lays out a method for reporting inappropriate behavior, and explains what action CodeWeavers takes when alerted to such shenanigans.</p> <h2 class="txt_magenta mt-4 mb-0">Scope</h2> <hr class="cw-hr mt-0"> <p>Whether you are posting in a CodeWeavers forum or emailing CodeWeavers staff, the Community Code of Conduct applies to you (heck, we would argue that these guidelines are just great principles to live by). </p> <h2 class="txt_magenta mt-4 mb-0">The Code Itself</h2> <hr class="cw-hr mt-0"> <p><b class="txt_yellow">Be kind</b>. Please. It really is that simple. </p> <p><b class="txt_yellow">Be considerate</b>. Don’t assume anyone has motives that are less than pure. We all want to be heard, acknowledged, and understood. Taking people at their word is the simplest way to validate our peers. <b class="txt_yellow">Be respectful</b>. Disagreements happen. In fact, disagreement can be the catalyst for growth. Vigorous discourse often leads to a new understanding of both the topic at hand, and the people around us. <b class="txt_yellow">Be nice</b>. There is no need to put other people or their contributions down. <b class="txt_yellow">Communicate Effectively</b>. Focus on the issue at hand and not the world at large.</p> <p>By doing these things we increase the likelihood of getting our point across and decrease the chances of causing anyone undue stress. Words have meaning and weight (they don’t break bones, but they sure can ruin someone’s day), so avoid personal attacks and generally trying to push people’s buttons.</p> <p>Types of communication and behavior that will not be tolerated include but are not limited to the following: <ol> <li>Intimidation</li> <li>Harassment</li> <li>Exclusionary language (e.g., sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, etc…) </li> <li>Violence (in any shape or form, including suggestions thereof)</li> </ol> </p> <h2 class="txt_magenta mt-4 mb-0">Reporting a Code of Conduct incident</h2> <hr class="cw-hr mt-0"> <p>Community members should report inappropriate behavior immediately. Please capture a screenshot of the Code of Conduct infraction, and use our <a href="/contact-us">contact us</a> form with <b>CoC Concern</b> in the subject line. If additional information is needed, you will be contacted. All concerns are taken seriously and handled in a confidential manner.</p> <h2 class="txt_magenta mt-4 mb-0">Consequences</h2> <hr class="cw-hr mt-0"> <p>Individuals who are repeatedly brought to the attention of site administrators for violating the Code of Conduct, may have their CodeWeavers account temporarily or permanently revoked.</p> </div> </div> </div>   <div id="footer" class="container-fluid"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-3 col-6"> <h5 class="mb-2 bold">Getting Around</h5> <ul> <li><a href="/">Home</a></li> <li><a href="/store">Store</a></li> <li><a href="/blog">Blog</a></li> <li><a href="/about">About Us</a></li> <li><a href="/contact-us">Contact Us</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="col-md-3 col-6"> <ul class="osSwitch"> <li><a href="https://support.codeweavers.com/">Support</a></li> <li class="os_Mac"><a href="https://support.codeweavers.com/en_US/mac-knowledge-base">FAQs</a></li> <li class="os_Mac"><a href="https://support.codeweavers.com/en_US/getting-started/installing-crossover">Tutorials</a></li> <li class="os_Linux"><a href="https://support.codeweavers.com/en_US/linux-knowledge-base">FAQs</a></li> <li class="os_Linux"><a href="https://support.codeweavers.com/en_US/2-getting-started/installing-crossover-linux">Tutorials</a></li> <li><a href="/compatibility">Compatibility</a></li> <li><a href="/support/forums">Forums</a></li> <li><a href="/bettertester">BetterTesters</a></li> <li><a href="/affiliate">Affiliates/Resellers</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="col-md-6"> <h4 class="bold">CodeWeavers</h4> <p class="justify">We're rebels. We're misfits. But mostly, we're software liberators. And we're very, very good at what we do. We have to be. Lots of developers work with open source, but only a tiny fraction of those are good enough to get software that was designed for one platform to work on another one. We invented CrossOver software - a unique approach to cross-platform compatibility that does not require dual-boot or another OS license. We launched PortJump to help app and game developers broaden their market beyond Windows® users. And we launched ExecMode to help organizations solve really ugly technical challenges.</p> </div> </div> <div class="row my-3"> <div class="col-6"> <span class="bold">Your OS Preference</span>   <span class="osSwitch"> <span class="os_Mac"> <span class="btn-group dropup cursor"> <span class="dropdown-toggle" id="osSwitchBotMac" data-bs-toggle="dropdown"> <i class="fa-brands fa-apple"></i> Mac </span> <span class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="osSwitchBotMac"> <a href="#cxlinux" class="dropdown-item"><i class="fa-brands fa-linux"></i> Linux</a> </span> </span> </span> <span class="os_Linux noshow"> <span class="btn-group dropup cursor"> <span class="dropdown-toggle cursor" id="osSwitchBotLin" data-bs-toggle="dropdown"> <i class="fa-brands fa-linux"></i> Linux </span> <span class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="osSwitchBotLin"> <a href="#cxmac" class="dropdown-item"><i class="fa-brands fa-apple"></i> Mac</a> </span> </span> </span> </span> </div> <div class="col-6 text-end"> <span class="btn-group dropup cursor"> <span class="dropdown-toggle" id="langSwitch" data-bs-toggle="dropdown"> <i class="fa-duotone fa-language"></i> <span class="bold">Language</span> </span> <span class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="langSwitch"> <a href="#" class="dropdown-item btn-gourl" data-gourl="?__setLang=en"><i class="fa-duotone fa-globe"></i> English</a> <a href="#" class="dropdown-item btn-gourl" data-gourl="?__setLang=zh-cn"><i class="fa-duotone fa-globe"></i> 简体中文</a> <a href="#" class="dropdown-item btn-gourl" data-gourl="?__setLang=zh-tw"><i class="fa-duotone fa-globe"></i> 正體中文</a> </span> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="social-container" class="container-fluid"> <div class="row"> <div class="text-center col-12"> <a rel="me" href="https://bsky.app/profile/codeweavers.com" target="_blank" title="BlueSky"><i class="fa-brands fa-bluesky fa-fw"></i></a> <a rel="me" href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/codeweavers" target="_blank" title="LinkedIn"><i class="fa-brands fa-linkedin fa-fw"></i></a> <a rel="me" href="https://www.facebook.com/codeweavers" target="_blank" title="Facebook"><i class="fa-brands fa-facebook-square fa-fw"></i></a> <a rel="me" href="https://x.com/codeweavers" target="_blank" title="X (Twitter)"><i class="fa-brands fa-square-x-twitter fa-fw"></i></a> <a rel="me" href="https://www.instagram.com/codeweavers/" target="_blank" title="Instagram"><i class="fa-brands fa-instagram fa-fw"></i></a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/codeweavers?feature=mhee" target="_blank" title="YouTube"><i class="fa-brands fa-youtube-square fa-fw"></i></a> <a href="https://discord.gg/BSdCNQhs9u" target="_blank" title="Discord"><i class="fa-brands fa-discord fa-fw"></i></a> </div> </div> </div> <div id="copyright" class="container-fluid"> <div class="row"> <div class="text-center col-12"> Copyright © 1999-2024 All Rights Reserved · <a href="/privacy-policy">Privacy Policy</a> · <a href="/code-of-conduct">Code of Conduct</a> </div> </div> </div>   <div id="GDPR-alert"> <div class="container-fluid"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-6 col-md-8 py-4 ps-3"> <i class="fa-duotone fa-info-circle"></i> CodeWeavers or its third-party tools process personal data (e.g. browsing data or IP addresses) and use cookies or other identifiers, which are necessary for its functioning and required to achieve the purposes illustrated in our <a href="/privacy-policy">Privacy Policy</a>.
