How to temporany ban a player

If you want to temporany ban a player without deleting the player vault, there is a simple way:

  1. Select the player node that you want to ban, and subscribe to it.
  2. Edit the player node. (Type=2)
  3. Change the Int32_2 value from 0 to 1. Now that player can't log in.

The Int32_2 value controls when a player is banned or not, higher values may have unexpected results.

Note: This temporany disallows the user to log with that avatar, but he can delete, and create a new avatar. If you want to ban that user forever, you need to search for the account name that matches the player user id in the auth server logs, and then add an entry with that login name and the status "Kline" in the Permissions table from the auth database.

This is useful, because, if a player has done something not authorized in your shard, he will see the nice "you are banned" message, and you are forcing him to read the shard related forums or contact the shard admin.

NOTE: You can also Ban Players permanently by KliningPlayers in the permissions table in the database.
