Summary
Kicking and banning are administrative actions in DayZ used by server admins to maintain order and enforce server rules. When a player is kicked, they are forcibly removed from the server temporarily, typically as a warning for rule violations or disruptive behavior. Banning, on the other hand, is a more severe action where a player is permanently denied access to the server due to repeated infractions or severe misconduct, ensuring a better gaming experience for other players on the server.
Note | The server admin also has the ability to kick/ban players. Learn how to become an admin here. |
