Ban (Drillimation Online)

A ban (禁止) is the Drillimation Online staff's administrative action used for stopping continued violations of the Drillimation Online Rules of Conduct. Only staff members are allowed to assign bans to players, as in-game bans are only assigned by server administrators. Players who try to view the userpage of a banned Drillimation Online player will see the message "This user has been banned from Drillimation Online".

Ban Types

 * Forum Purge: The player's posts, usually in a string, on the Drillimation Forums are deleted. Players affected by this are still allowed to create new posts. However, a ban can usually occur after a purge is executed by staff.
 * Error 410: The player tries accessing a world in Mr. Driller Online but instead receives the HTTP error 410 Gone. This usually occurs if the world owner has deleted it or staff deleted it due to a Rules of Conduct violation.
 * Reminder: The player is reminded by staff to follow the Rules of Conduct. No suspension occurs, and this message is usually given to new users and minor rule violations.
 * Warning: The player is warned by staff about violating the Rules of Conduct and any future offenses may result in bans. Like a reminder, no suspension occurs and are usually given for more serious rule violations and/or repeated reminders.
 * In-Game Ban: The player is temporarily or permanently banned from a server for a specific game. These are not given by staff. Players with in-game bans can still use Drillimation Online fully, and these are usually given for trolling or exploiting.
 * 1 Day Ban: The player is banned from Drillimation Online for one day (24 hours).
 * 3 Day Ban: The player is banned from Drillimation Online for three days (72 hours).
 * 1 Week Ban: The player is banned from Drillimation Online for one week (7 days).
 * 2 Week Ban: The player is banned from Drillimation Online for two weeks (14 days). The player is also warned that any future offenses will result in a permanent ban. These are usually given for severe violations of the Rules of Conduct.
 * Permanent Ban: The player is banned from Drillimation Online permanently. The player can no longer log into their Drillimation Online account nor play any Drillimation games online. Players with permabans still have full access to single-player modes in all Drillimation games they own. They can be worked around with a sockpuppet, but attempts to do this are against the Rules of Conduct.
 * IP Ban: The player's IP address is banned, and they are restricted from logging into other accounts or creating new accounts. Players can get around this with a proxy or virtual private network.
 * Device Ban: This is the harshest ban a player can receive and is usually the worst. The player's device is essentially banned from Drillimation Online, meaning they are restricted from creating new accounts or logging into other accounts, as well as using a proxy to get around it. The only way to get around a device ban on a computer is to reinstall the operating system or buy a new machine. The reformatting method does not work on iOS and consoles as device bans are linked to the serial number of the player's device.
