        cancelEvent(true,"The nick \"Player\" is not allowed, please change it to something else. You can change your nick in Settings menu Multiplayer tab.") --in that case refuse the connection
    else
        --output some data about the player
        outputChatBox (playerNick.." just connected to the server.")
        outputChatBox ("IP: "..playerIP.." Username: "..playerUsername.." Serial: "..playerSerial)
