Ban (Drillimation Online)

Bans are an administrative action given by server moderators and site admins for stopping continued violations of the rules. As of 2006, when a user gets banned, every player linked to the IP address gets a ban too.

List of bans
Users who break the Drillimation Online Rules of Conduct are given one of these reprimands:
 * Reminder - The player is reminded about the rules. These are given for minor violations of the rules.
 * Warning - The player is warned about the rules. These are given if the player has ignored multiple reminders or for more deliberate violations.
 * Kick - The player is kicked from the server they are currently playing on if they violate the rules. Usually occurs when they either get a reminder or warning.
 * In-game ban - The player is temporarily or permanently banned from a server. Not given by Drillimation staff.
 * Temporary ban - The player's account is suspended from online matches from a period of 24 hours to two weeks. Usually occurs if the player ignored multiple warnings or for more deliberate violations.
 * Permanent ban - The player's account is permanently banned and can no longer play online matches. Permanent bans can be appealed, but only after 30 days after the initial ban. If the appeal fails, this can be worked around with a sockpuppet.
 * IP ban - The player's IP address is banned, which prevents account creation. Usually occurs if the player has had multiple accounts permanently banned. This can be worked around with a proxy or any other method of changing an IP address.
 * Device ban - It is possible for an entire device to be banned from playing online. This is Drillimation's harshest punishment to date, yet there are two ways around it. The first way would be to buy another computer or to log into an account that is not linked to the device of the device-banned user. Reinstalling Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux does not actually work as device bans are linked to the serial number of the player's device.
