==Administration==

According to SlashNET's website, a "hands-off" approach to [[System administrator|administration]] is used. More specifically, SlashNET claims that [[IRC operator|IRC Operators]] are just regular users with a status flag next to their nicknames. SlashNET's administration officially decries the use of mission statements and other business-like "buzzwords" for IRC networks and rejects the notion that these are necessary for the operation of a network. The overall objective of the administration as described by the network's website is "keep the servers running."

SlashNET is run entirely by [[volunteer]]s from around the globe. SlashNET's servers run [[UnrealIRCd]] v3.2.5 on [[FreeBSD]] and [[Linux]].
