Ban Players

This how-to demonstrates how to use the Ban Player feature to prevent a player from starting new game sessions. This can be useful for moderating players who violate community guidelines, exploit the game, or otherwise disrupt the experience. When a player is banned, they will no longer be able to start a new session in the game.

Prerequisites

• A LootLocker account

• An existing game in the Web Console wtih at least 1 player profile

Ban a Player

You can ban a player directly from their profile in the LootLocker Web Console.

To do this, navigate to Player Manager in the Web Console and search for and open the player profile you want to manage.

Click the Actions dropdown and Select Ban Player.

Select an optional time duration for the ban using the time and date picker. If no time is selected, the ban will be indefinite.

Add an optional note describing the reason for the ban. This is used for internal purposes only.

Confirm the action by clicking Ban Player.

Once banned, the player will be prevented from starting new sessions.

Viewing Banned Status

If a player has been banned, their player profile will clearly display that the player is banned. In this case, you have a few options:

• View and edit the notes associated with the ban by clicking View Notes

• Unban the player if the restriction should be lifted

Unban a Player

To remove a ban from a player profile, navigate to the player profile you wish to unban.

Click the Unban button.

The player will now be able to start game sessions sessions again. Any notes associated with the ban will also be removed.

Conclusion

In this how-to we have banned a player, reviewed their ban notes, and unbanned them.
