Trust System
Some advanced features may require an increased trust level. Trust helps protect the network from abuse.
Limits
Higher trust can raise or remove certain operational limits (connections, requests). Exact public policy will be published here.
Essential Points
- A trust is a host/IP allowance that lets more than the default number of simultaneous connections from the same network.
- If you exceed clone/connection limits you may be disconnected; a trust prevents this as long as you stay within its granted range.
- Very generic / dynamic ISP hostnames are rarely granted large trusts because abuse is harder to trace.
- Request a trust in #help and provide connection count, account, static IPs, and a valid reason. If accepted, server configuration will be adjusted accordingly.
- Having a trust does not exempt you from network rules; abuse can void or reduce it immediately.
- A working ident (or consistent auth) helps staff verify users behind the same IP and may ease approval.
- Dynamic IPs are not accepted for trust requests; stable, verifiable static IPs are required.
- Modification (increase / host change) requires repeating justification; provide current and requested limits when asking.
