Bans

A ban in Rust refers to a restriction placed on a player's account that prevents them from connecting to a particular server or the entire game. Bans are typically used as a punishment for players who have violated the server's rules or have engaged in cheating or other disruptive behavior.

Server administrators have the ability to ban players from their server by using the in-game console or web-based control panel, and they can set the duration of the ban, from a temporary ban to a permanent one. They can also assign a reason for the ban and include a message for the player, so they know why they were banned.

Banned players will receive a message indicating that they have been banned and the reason for the ban when they try to connect to the server. They will not be able to connect to the server until the ban is lifted, or the ban period expires.

Some servers also use anti-cheat software that can detect and automatically ban players who are using cheats or other prohibited software. Some servers also have a report system that players can use to report other players who are breaking the rules.
