When someone has the banner labeled "Banned" on our website, how are they banned? Like, is it because they were globally banned, or something special like that? I don't know, I'm just curious, and any help would be appreciated.
The 'banned' status means that they are forum banned, which means they can't log in to their account or access the website anymore. This sometimes happens alongside an ingame ban but can also occur without the person being banned ingame. Most forum bans are for a violation of the forum rules i.e. inappropriate behavior in shoutbox, posting on appeals you're not involved in or generally having too many warning points.
The 'banned' tag results from a forum-only ban. These bans vary in length and occur due to violations of our forum rules found here.
When someone is banned on here, it means that they can’t go on the forums at all and instead a message pops up that says “You have been banned.” You’re not banned from the servers, just here depending on the action that led to it such as spamming, posting malicious links, etc.
