How to kick or ban a player on your DDNet server

The quickest way is the Console tab: type status to see each player's id, then kick <id> or ban <id> <minutes>. The Quick Tasks page has Kick Player and Ban Player tasks too, which keep the id you give them.

From the Console

1. Open your server in the panel and click the Console tab.
2. Type status and press Enter. Each player is listed with an id, a number such as 3.
3. To kick, type kick 3 (with the player's id). They can join again straight away.
4. To ban, type ban 3 60 for 60 minutes, or another number of minutes. DDNet bans the player's address.
5. To lift a ban, type bans to list the bans with their number, then unban and that number, for example unban 0. unban with the address works too.

With Quick Tasks

1. Open Quick Tasks in the left menu. Under All tasks, run List Players, then read the ids in the Console.
2. Find Kick Player (or Ban Player) and click Run. The Configure task window opens, because the task needs a Player id.
3. Type the id, exactly one number, and click Save task. This saves the task with that id under Your tasks; it does not run it yet.
4. Open Your tasks and click Run on the task.

Ban Player bans the player's address for one day. A restart of the server lifts it. Ids change when players leave and join, so set the id again with Configure next time.

Good to know

• Ids change when players leave and join. Check them with status just before you kick or ban.
• A ban is on the player's address, so it also blocks anyone else on the same home connection.
• Every ban ends when the server restarts, whether you made it in the Console or with the task.
