Ban
You WILL NOT edit parts of this page until they are properly finished.
Ban is the short term for banish, or to officially or legally prohibit something. Such prohibitions are usually based on the IP address that is used to identify different users and vary by cause. In echo chambers, one may get banned for certain words or phrases that could cause leakage such as muh racism or muh discrimination in general, though trigger-happy jannies may go about banning anyone they hate for no reason.
Types of Bans
Temporary Bans
The amount of time these banishments last may vary depending on the severity of the act according to jannies. More gimmicky or user-requested ones may last as short as one second. On the Sharty, these bans are usually instated over infractions that are not illegal at all such as harmless shitflinging in serious threads or posting irrelevant material on certain boards. Sites like the Swinny may exploit temporary bans to give out custom messages as warnings or to provide clarification in LARGE, ANGRY RED WORDS.
Permabans
On the Sharty and its splinters, these bans are commonly given out to users who do heinous and illegal acts such as posting 'P
, affiliating themselves with hostile communities
that raid a site, or participating in a Soycords of any kind. Using certain splinters, even if they are not hostile by nature, may also warrant a permaban should jannies stalk and identify a user in them, so it is recommended to keep a strong OPSEC and avoid namefagging.
Outside the Soysphere, and especially in echo chambers, permabans may be given to chuddy and bigoted users that break a code of conduct set by mods as means to supposedly keep their community "pure" by their twisted standards.
Hardware Bans
This is the rarest and perhaps most severe type of ban as it can restrict an entire device from accessing a website regardless of IP address. They are given out to users that are so bad that jannies may wish they were never. ever. ever. EVER to be seen again. On the Sharty, the first and perhaps most notable user who received this ban was the swarthy pedonigger Kernüng.
