	Users are expected to adhere to a set of [[~~CommunityAdminstrationNetwork~~/DisallowedWords\|minimum language rules]] that disallows a set of very specific words when using public or team chat channels. Users are also expected to refrain from attacking or making disparaging remarks about another player's race, religion, gender, disability, ethnicity, employment circumstances, or sexual orientation. The in-game chat is primarily for discussion about the game while playing. Users who are warned for language violations are expected to discontinue use of the offensive language, and continue to play in a civil manner. It should be noted that individual servers can and may have more strict language policies in place that they administer locally. The minimum language policy applies to any content that is displayed to other players including user callsigns, in game e-mail addresses, parting messages, as well as all public and team chat text.

	The network has a very specific set of rules that it applies to servers. This rule set is expected to be a small subset of the rules on any one server. CAN Administrators will only enforce these specific rules by default. Every administrative action (warn, kick, and ban) will be logged with the rule number to which the violation applies, as well as any applicable logs or records needed.

	===1~~) Global Registration===~~		===1) No Cheating===
	All users must be globally registered and identified to play. This includes spawning and talking. Violations of this rule never have administrative action, as it is automatically enforced by the CANAdmin plug-in (i.e., unregistered players cannot connect to servers using the plug-in, they are automatically rejected).

	~~===2~~) No Cheating===
	Users must not use modified clients to gain an unfair advantage over other users. This includes any modification that changes the behavior of a player tank from the release version of the game, or any modification that provides additional information or reaction time to the game.

	Additional items may be added based on the observations of the administrator. If a user is experiencing network or software problems that may appear to be cheats, then it is up to them to work with the Administration staff and/or the project development to rectify the issue as soon as they are warned. The administration staff will be more then happy to work with the users to determine the cause of any software- or network-related issues. If the issues are network-related and cause the disruption of play with other users, network administrators can request that the user discontinue play on a specific server until such time as network conditions improve. The administrators are expected to speak to the players about the behavior before taking any action to determine its cause.

	Users must not use in-game features or flaws to gain an unfair advantage over other players. This includes using game features or bugs to create artificial lag spikes, tweaks or changes to the input system, or the operating system / drivers to create positional discrepancies or speed changes. If the administration staff asks a user to discontinue an action that is causing a problem, the user is expected to refrain from that action. This includes the use of external applications to modify the game's internal state or network data.		Users must not use in-game features or flaws to gain an unfair advantage over other players.

	Users must not engage in behavior that is disruptive to the play of the game.

Griefing also includes message spamming, whether private or public. The administration team does understand that isolated accidents do happen and are required to issue warnings before taking actions. Users warned of a particular offense are expected to take care to not repeat the actions, even if they were accidents in the first place.

			===5) No disruption of public services===
			Users are expected to not take actions that would disrupt any of the network's or project's public services. This includes any websites or forums, IRC channels, or servers operated by the network itself, or the
			BZFlag project. Actions of this nature are very serious and will not be taken lightly.

	===~~6) No disruption of public services~~===		===Global Registration===
	~~Users are expected to~~ not ~~take actions that would disrupt~~ any of the network~~'s or project's public services~~. ~~This includes~~ any ~~websites~~ or ~~forums, IRC channels, or servers operated by~~ the network ~~itself, or~~ the BZFlag ~~project. Actions of this nature are very serious and will not be taken lightly.~~		It is highly documented that all users must be globally registered and identified when they play. Unregistered users will be tracked by there IP, hostmask, and other data. Unregistered users may not dispute any administrative action on the network. Unregistered users will not be white listed to get around any IP range or host mask bans that may be in place. It is assumed that honest players will have no problem with registering for the game. Any network agent will be glad to help users get registered with the BZFlag global login system

	====Does the network do range bans?====		====Does the network do range bans?====
	~~All bans are handled by~~ the ~~CANAdmin plug-in~~ and ~~are done~~ based on ~~the~~ BZID ~~of the users. Since a requirement~~ to be a ~~CAN server is to only allow registered users, IP bans of any sort are not needed~~.		Yes, the network can and will do IP range bans for dynamic IPs. When possible a BZID ban will be used, but some situations require a range ban. Registered users can be given a white list based on there BZID and be allowed to play on IPs in a banned range.
