Basic Rules of Engagement here at BPN.
Violation of these rules WILL get you kicked or banned, with or without warning.
BPN Community Acceptance:
The minimum age requirement to join [BPN] community is 18 years old, however everyone is welcome to play on our servers.
You can NOT be in another First Person Shooter (FPS) community while in [BPN]. This includes FPS games that [BPN] does not participate in. We have this rule to promote participation within our community and to get to know everyone better and your time and commitments are with us.
If you meet the requirements and would like to join, please complete an application.
Warning: We do not assume any responsibility or liability for any misrepresentations regarding a user’s age. Also we do not assume any responsibility for misrepresentations submitted on our community application.
BPN Community applicants must read the 'rules' and 'terms of usage' of BPN and submit a BPN application for acceptance. You are expected to act respectfully while on BPN servers.
If application is accepted, there will be a 30 day evaluation period before full fledged membership is granted. You will carry the 'recruit' tag for 30 days. [BPNr]
General Behavior:
BPN Community Members, Recruits and Admins are expected to conduct themselves in a respectful manner. This means: no inappropriate sprays, pics, logos, comments, forums threads, conversation, music, nicknames, user names or anything of the sort. 'Inappropriate' material can refer to Text, Verbal, Music and Pictures:
Some examples of 'inappropriate' are: inappropriate sexual remarks, argumentative remarks, teasing someone due to a handicap, curse words, general harassing remarks, pics/sprays of illegal items, pics/sprays of revealing clothing (male or female), pornography of any kind or other material that someone might take offense to.
This is a non-exhaustive list and is only meant to give the members an idea of what's NOT accepted here. The admins reserve the right to determine what is 'inappropriate' at the time of the incident.
If you have a suggestion, comment, or a grievance you may email it to any of the admins and it will be addressed and handled in a respectful, professional manner.
These rules ARE FAR FROM UNREASONABLE. Just be respectful in the material that you post, say and type...
If you have questions about what might or might not be inappropriate, email one of the admins and we'll take a look for you.
We run a 'clean' community and prefer to game instead of listen, read or view such material.
Contributions & Admin Rights:
The minimum contribution for the community is $10 per person per month or $25 for 3 months. This is only a contribution and by no means are we mandating that every BPN Community member contribute. However, without adequate funds, the assets of the BPN Community cannot be sustained.
Remember, if you wish you can use the 'BPN Bux' referral program to subsidize your contributions. Also, if you contribute on a regular basis, AND you wish to become an admin, you can submit the 'Admin Application' and you will be considered. If granted, 'Basic Admin' rights (to start with), will be issued on the appropriate servers. Clan recruits will not be considered for admin rights until after their 30 day trial has lapsed and they are full [BPN] members.
You will also receive a reserved slot on the appropriate servers and a bulletproofnerds email address if you wish. You will also be authorized to attend our weekly BPN Admin meeting(s) and submit any input regarding BPN community decisions. All decisions are based on a vote, however the BPN Community founder (BlackMamba) can overturn any such decisions. You should also know that regardless of contributions, if you are found in violation of our rules your 'Admin' rights can be revoked.
Fees will be submitted through the Chip In module service that we offer on the front page of the website. It should be noted that all monies received are for game server, web server & teamspeak fees only. Any overages received will be applied to the BPN donations account for the next month of service. No personal gain or dishonest behavior are being practiced here by the admins.
Administrative rights are granted based on discretion, not solely on contributions.
