Ban Types and Duration

Ban Types

Bans can be appealed on the discord in the ban appeals section.

Role Ban

Also called a "job ban", this ban prevents your character from joining or late-joining a round as one or more jobs or roles. These are often used in response to problematic behavior in particular departments or address gross inexperience in important roles such as heads of staff. These bans do not mechanically prevent you from switching to the role during a round or acting as that role, but doing so is considered ban evasion.

Game Ban

Also called a "server ban", this ban prevents you from connecting to all RMC14 servers.

Ban Durations

Temporary

Temporary bans will be lifted automatically after a certain amount of time. If they are a game ban, they will tell you how much time is remaining when you try to connect.

Indefinite

These bans will only be removed on a successful appeal on the forums. Any ban which doesn't tell you when it expires and doesn't specify otherwise can be presumed to be an indefinite ban.

Permanent

This is a ban that can only be appealed if the ban was inappropriately placed, including if the ban should not have been permanent. If the result of the appeal is that the ban was appropriately placed, the ban may not be appealed again and will not be lifted. These bans are extremely rare, but are applied to players who continually cause problems or users who have completely unacceptable behavior may be permanently removed.
