As an administrator, you have full control over who can participate in gameplay on your The Forest server. Among the various available commands, you will find two that allow you to ban or kick users who violate the generally accepted rules. Kicking is a milder form of warning that gives the player a chance to improve their behavior. It involves temporarily removing the user from the server, usually due to inappropriate behavior. A harsher form of punishment is banning, which involves permanently or temporarily blocking access to the server, typically as a result of persistent rule-breaking or toxic behavior towards other players. In this guide, you will learn how to temporarily kick someone from your server and how to permanently ban (and also unban) someone.
