    blind account             - for blindfold chess ONLY! 

                              - may shout with it, but NOT to be used as
                              - an excuse to abuse/get round quota/get

    'cyborg' account          | (more if automatic moving) 

                              - non-automatic computers should NOT be

                              - A cyborg account is where the player is
                              - using a computer to analyse the moves,
                              - but a human is deciding which one to play.
                              - (can make a very strong player)

                              - Useful if computer specifications/house
                              - rules are placed in notes (eg no aborts)

1> Extra admins accounts.
  Admins can have as many accounts as they wish as long as the above rules
 are followed.

2> Extra user accounts.

    Must satisfy the following criterea:

 
     1> Is not currently being sanctioned (eg on abuser list)

     2> Comment file is clean or nearly clean (check the comments don't
         assume because someone has more than one comment they have been
         an abuser). Repeat offenders must be refused additional accounts.

     3> The player is not known to cause (much) trouble.

    If in doubt please check with sveshi (AFICS) first.

   Must put in comments list of the player applying for it the name and type
  of account

     Eg. addcomment FishFood DAV's blind account

   Must add in the realname of the account, the handle of the player and what
  type of account it is.

   Finally add it to a list with +listname [name] if appropriate.

   Do NOT revert an additional account to a player account without good reason
  (eg old account was destroyed somehow). Check with sveshi (AFICS) if unsure..
