Rules[edit]

To ensure that users of all ages will be able to participate in the forums, a set of rules has been put in place for all members to follow. The current board rules can be found at http://my.bzflag.org/bb/viewtopic.php?t=890

An additional Frequenly Asked Questions (FAQ) thread can be found at http://my.bzflag.org/bb/viewtopic.php?t=891

Global Registration[edit]

The forums are used as the user management system for the Global Registration system. This system allows players to use their forum login as a callsign and gain a number of in game features. The "profile" page on the fourms allows users to manage any account information tied to a callsign.

Administration[edit]

The forums are owned and administrated by the Project Administrators. The project administrators have appointed a number of other administrators from both the playing and development communities.
