Vhost Policy

First, "V-Host" applies to the notion of "Virtual Host" ... everything that appears after the @ in a user's logon mask.

V-Hosts for the MindForge staff:

Depending on the status of the staff member, following V-Hosts apply:

• NetAdmin.MindForge.org
• ServicesAdmin.MindForge.org
• Country.ServerAdmin.MindForge.org

Country is a 3 letter abbreviation and all caps. Precludes EU, World ... etc.

• V-Hosts must be requested by the Channel Owner.
• V-Hosts are assigned on a bi-weekly user count average: 5 V-Hosts for 30+ users, 7 V-Hosts for 60+ users.
• Procedure: The Channel Owner should prepare a list of names that are willing to accept a channel V-Host.
• The list of names are to be presented to the V-Host Team in the #MindForge-Vhosts channel.
• Minimum level for V-Host is 4 (HalfOp).
• Format: ChannelName.MindForge.org
• Exceptions need to be agreed upon by MindForge Administrators.
• User numbers must be maintained for the channel to keep V-Hosts. Those channels that do not maintain user numbers will lose their V-Host.
• Channels found using proxies and/or BNC to increase the channel average will see their V-Host refused/removed.
• Channels where identified network troublemakers are on the acces list will lose their V-Host.
  
• MindForge Staff reserve the right to periodically scan channels for conformity to minimum requirements.

• All eMule channels get V-Hosts regardless of their user count.
• Procedure: The senior Op (by level) should prepare a list of names that are willing to accept an eMule V-Host.
• The list of names are to be presented to the V-Host Team in the #MindForge-Vhosts channel.
• Minimum level for V-Host is 3 (Voice).
• Format: eMule-Language.MindForge.org
