Paradise has a few rules for server administrators and operators. 
Final draft.  

Server admin policies:
*	The server must have their bots/abuse policies clearly stated in the motd and         
	(accurate) contact information must be stated in the (ADMIN) A:lines.
*	That said, server admins are allowed to do what ever they want with their 	MOTD. 
*	Server admins are permitted to use what ever name they want, but you are
	strongly encouraged to use *.Paradise.Net. Server names must be cleared with
	us before link.
*	The server administration must take measures against the use of things such 	as tor and proxies with the help of BOPM. BOPM is required. We will supply 	you with a config file to use.
* 	The server must be on a legitimate shell. Hacked servers are completely    
	unallowed.
*	Server administrators are responcible for the actions of the operators on
	their server. If abuse comes from a certain server repeatably, you may earn
	yourself a noop or a delink.
*	Server administrators may add as many operators as they want (within reason 
	of course), but note, as I said before, if you give a jackass oper and fucks
	up shit, it will be you who will be in shit.
*	Dont give people operator on your server just because you think they are 	“kool” - do it out of necessity. 

Kline/killing local users:
*	I tried to fashion our policy similar to EFnets. Efnet policy is basically
	that all local things are okay...for example..you kill or kline a local user
	for what ever reason, even abusish, and it dosent matter. 
*	On one hand, I would like to totally use that policy. I cant tell someone who
	owns and pays for a server that they cant decide who can go on THEIR server
	can I? Yet on the other side of the token, I cant have operators repetably 
	banning people just because they dont like them. So to reach a comermise...
*	So basically, just use your good judgement. If you are stupid, dont expect to
	stay around long :)


Abuse policy:
*	Abuse is not tolerated. Period. 
*	Operators are to stay out of channel matters. 
*	KILL is not a toy. 
*	Being a operator/admin does not make you cool. Nor does it extend your v-	pen0r.
*	Operators are not to use gline/akill/kline/dline/resv lightly. You may not
	just ban someone because they told you that “U R GAY, LOL”. 
	services you will loose your access.
*	The only time when it is really appropriate to use akill/kline/etc is when a 
	user is A.) tor client B.) proxy client C.) Cloning or D.) spam. 
*	As I stated above, server admins are responcible for their operators. 

Glines:
*	Glines are to be disabled on your server. Glines are disabled on all other
	servers, including the hubs. 

Attitude:
*	This is not unreal and is not a typical network. Being a operator does not 
	make you some demigod. There are no operator levles here. Get over it.

Misc:
*	Operators must keep network matters out of -Os channels. There is way too 
	much discussion of private network matters in public.
*	Network decisions are reached via a consensus between all of the server 	administrators. There are no rash decisions. 

Settings:
*	You must compile your server with a NICKLEN (nick legenth limit) of 16.
	during ./configure append –with-nicklen=16
*	You must compile your server with a TOPICLEN ot 512. append
	--with-topiclen=512 to ./configure. Then edit include/setup.h and find
	topiclen and change it to 512.
*	Use max_bans of 256 and max_channels 50.
*	You are strongly encouraged to compile your server with –with-openssl and
	listen on 6697 for SSL client connections.
