Administrative actions

 This action will list the history of warnings, kicks, bans, silences, and other admin actions stored for the player across all network servers. Each action will list the action, rule violated, the admin, and the comment given at the time of the action. Players have access to a simplified version of this command that will list all the actions for their call sign, but not any others. Server Admins (anyone with an @) also have access to the full version of this command for informational use.

 This action will force the specified user to disconnect from the server and disallow any new connections to any network server for a period of 336 hours ( 14 days, aka. 2 weeks ), just like a regular NetBan command. In addition this command will flag the ban action for review by the Core Administration team for a possible longer term BAN. This command should not be used lightly or frequently by the Field Agents, and should only be reserved for the worst offenders. Field Agents that abuse this command will face administrative action. Like the NetBan, the action is logged and can not be applied unless the user has received 3 warnings.

	All admin actions on servers must be in response to a violation of one of the six network rules. No other use of the network admin functions are permitted. The CANAdmin plug-in will require the rule number that is in violation for all actions. Field Agents may be granted additional abilities by server owners, and be asked to enforce additional rules. If the Field administrator agrees to this, then he/she must use the server's local administration system to enforce those additional rules, and not the network system.

	Violations of rule 5, the minimum language rules, must violate the very specific conditions set forth in the rule. Interpretations of the rule should strictly adhere to the rule as stated. Flexible interpretations based on additional language that is not mentioned in the rule, personal distaste, or beliefs, are not allowed. Violations of rule 5 must be very clear-cut before ban level action is taken. Most users who will skirt the edges of rule 5 will most likely break another rule in the process, usually rule 4. Simple violations of rule 5 can be handled with a simple net silence command after the required warnings. While annoying, violations of rule 5 have the least affect on the game, and are the simplest to resolve, even for regular users ( everyone can use the silence command ). Field Agents are expected to understand that different people have different levels of tolerance for language, and may find things more or less offensive then they personally do. Common saying that may have religious overtones, are not considered offensive. Attacks must be very directed against very specific subjects. Terms or abbreviations like "OMG", "WTF", and the like, are common enough in language that they are not meant as offensive they are simply exclamations. Any action that is simply taken as "blasphemy" in any religion is not worthy of action and should be ignored, unless the player uses the text in a violation of rule 4(spamming).
