What is UTAN?!

Basically its a free public system to store your UT2003/UT2004 GUID and IP server bans in such a way that they can be rolled out to all servers under your control automatically.

Part of the UTAN system allows the trusted admin's (Head Admin's at various GISP's) to add bans into our system so that they will be distributed to all servers running our server actor. We understand how controversial this could be and have setup the system so that if you don't want these global bans, so to speak, you don't have to receive them!

The system allows you to store you own bans for use of either your server or your GISP only, which are protected by a password. So storing all your bans in our system is possible making it very quick and efficient at sending the bans out to your servers.

The Server Actor was initially created by El_Muerte, an admin at UnrealAdmin. Since then we have moved onto the new improved version of the Server Actor which provides Web Admin changes, understandable ban messages and live e-mail updates. It won't remove your server from the standard server lists on the master server either!

Lastly, the UTAN system is constantly being developed, so over time you will see more options available to you to use for your servers. Things like timed bans, so you can ban someone for 30minutes, 30hours, even 30days if needs be, anti-cheat news, and IP range banning are currently in the pipeline.

We hope you enjoy using the service and if you have any questions about the system please don't hesitate to contact us at utan@unrealadmin.org.
