ZDaemon Server Policy
ZDaemon servers have the ability to report "Experience Points" as well as other interesting statistics.
The servers which are allowed to report both Experience Points and Frag Statistics are identified in the ZDaemon launcher by the green check mark in the left column.
Servers can only be enabled by a ZDaemon administrator. Servers will only be enabled if they meet the following criteria:
- Must be a static IP Address,
- Must be a permananet server which is available all day, every day,
- Must not be a private server. If a password is required, the pasword must be redilly available to anyone who wishes to play on it,
- Must have the Admin Email field populated with a valid email address,
- The owner/admin of that server must respond if ever the ZDaemon staff needs to contact him or her,
- Must have a valid "Web URL" configured which allows players to easily locate any wads required for the server,
- Must NOT be configured to allow cheating of any kind,
- Must NOT have bots,
- Must be configured properly overall and in good working order at all times,
- Must have the most current version available,
- Must not be used in any manner which violates the ZDaemon Terms of Use.
- Must not run on the same machine, or on the same LAN that its owner plays ZDaemon on.
ZDaemon servers are now designed to automatically download a "Global Ban List" on a daily basis.
This is an automatic process and requires no action by the server's owner. Contact the ZDaemon staff if there are any disputes regarding banned players.
Only ZDaemon staff can add or remove players to/from the Global Ban List.
Additional note: Enabled servers are intended for OTHER PLAYERS to play, not for YOU to play on your own server with an overwhelming ping advantage.
For this reason, servers which run on your own PC will not be anabled for stats collection.
