Team Fortress 2 - Ban/Punishments Guidelines


Staff members have the authority to extend ban lengths with explicit permission from a moderator or higher. The maximum punishment times listed below can be adjusted by staff members if deemed appropriate. Cheating offenses always result in a permanent ban. When possible, utilize mute/gag tools instead of resorting to a ban for issues that can be resolved through those means.

Ban Reasons and Times:

Please note that these punishment times are maximums, and staff members have the discretion to impose shorter bans if they deem it appropriate. Remember to respect the rules and guidelines to maintain a positive and fair gaming environment for all players.​
