Battle hosts on the lobby server

All battle hosts that do not have a botflag are limited to a maximum of 10 players, plus spectators. This includes both human hosters and autohosts. Hosts that would like to be given a botflag should contact Springs moderators, via a private message.

All users, including battle hosts, must adhere to the terms of service of the lobby server. In addition:

Battle hosts with a botflag

Hosts with a botflag are expected to encourage and maintain an environment in which users are able to play games, free from serious disruption and excessively hateful or obscene behavior.

Autohosts with a botflag are expected to appoint host owners and admins who are generally capable of maintaining the above expectations, with the help of the tools (pms/kicks/bans/mutes/etc) provided by the lobby server and SPADS. In response to a !admins command, the autohost should list the usernames of all host admins, and at least one contactable host owner.

Hosts with a botflag may add additional features and enforce restrictions on their use (such as rank limits, plugins, special game modes) providing that they meet the above expectations. In extreme cases, if lobby moderators judge that the above expectations are consistently not met, lobby moderators may require that particular people are added and/or removed as host admins or owners, or that particular features/restrictions are removed. Hosts that do not comply will lose their botflag.

Battle hosts without a botflag

Autohosts without a botflag are not subject to the expectations above, and are free to act as a private service provided by one or more users. Such hosts may arbitrarily appoint/remove their admins and owners, add additional features and enforce restrictions on their use, providing they remain within the terms of service of the lobby server.
