This page contains information about an idea called the Community Administration Network Project. It does not represent any rules, opinions, or regulations for the BZFlag project. The C.A.N. was an idea whose author has lost interest. The information is left here for others to use if they wish to take up similar projects. THE CAN IS NO LONGER AN ACTIVE IDEA

This server is a member of the Global Administration system. By agreeing to be part of this system, the server has a minimum set of rules that players must adhere to.

By joining a server that belogns to the system, you agree to follow these rules. If you do not agree with them, please feel free to disconnect and play on another server with diferent rules.

0) You must register with the global login system to play. You can not spawn or talk unless you register and identify. No exceptions.

1) No cheating. Of any sort. If a cop determinnes that your cheating, it's up to you to prove to them that you arn't. End of story. If there is a techincal issue that is causing the problem, then work with the administration to find out how to solve the issue. This may mean going to a private server, and testing settings with the admin staff and/or the developers of the project. Work with them, not against them. If you arn't cheating then there will be a solution to the problem and you can go back to playing once it's resolved.

2) No using in game bugs/problems to gain an unfair advantage. Even if every client has the bug or issue, that dosn't mean you can use it to get an advantage. This includes using in game features to introduce artificial lag spikes, or tweaks to your OS/System to gain increased reaction times. If the admin staff calls you on this behavor, stop it. If you continue, then administrative action will be taken.

3) No using external apps to gain an unfair advantage. It dosn't mater if you haven't modified the code, your still cheating in spirit. Play normal like everyone else.

4) NO arguing in public with the admin staff. If you disagree with the descions of the admin staff, then please take it to the aprporpirate place ( as shown below ). They will gladly discuss it with you calmly. Insulting people in game will not win you any points.

5) No Team killing, self genoside, or other disruptive in game acts. Disruptive acts in game that are not conducive to playing the game will not be tolerated. Everone makes mistakes, sure, but if you are repeatedly doing actions that cause other players problems, action will be taken.

6) No cursing, or inapropriate language, or spaming. The in game chat is for just that GAME chat. it is not a soapbox for your ideas, nor is it is your blog. Treat other players with respect and in a civil manner. Keep language kid safe and friendly, everyone is here to play and have fun. Keep "trash talk" to a minimum. If you are warned by an admin, tone it down and apologise. If the chat portion of playing is more of a "game" to you, then take it to another server.

7) If you have an issue that needs an admin, take it up with them in private. If you have an issue with an admin, take it up with the core admins. If you have an issue with a core admin, take it up with the network admin. If you have an issue with the network admin, then it would be best if you didn't play on servers that are in the network.

Each server in the network sets there own rules for the specific games, and the may impose additional rules on top of these rules. Again if you do not agree with the rules for a specific server, please feel free to play on another server.

By joining the Administration network, server owners agree to be administered by the Global Administration Team using these rules.
