| - Banned is what you get when you post on Gallifrey Base. You'll also get banned on 4chan from time to time, depending on the whims of our beloved mods and janitors.
- Something CD likes to shout randomly.
- Is the act of disallowing a previously playable card from being usable for tournament play.
- Being banned on TPM means you have broken a rule and have had their account deleted or IP banned. Remember kids! Always trust people with your password!
- Banned Deviants are the counterpart to Deactivated Accounts, with the likeness being that their username is crossed out. Before being banned, a Deviant would have to cause several small violations to the ToS or some rather large violations in order to be removed from site. Once banned, you may apply for a Ban Appeal, but only in very rare cases are Deviants let off with this. Once banned, the user are blocked from commenting, favouriting, uploading, chatting, posting on the forums, starting forum threads, giving badges, joining groups, creating groups, voting on polls, writing journals, buying points, spending points, donating points, giving critiques and several other main site features. You are still able to log into your account and check your messages, normally Deviation stacks.
- Users can be banned from OGame for a variety of rule infractions. These can range from temporary bans for relatively minor offences like swearing or first time pushing to bans for persistent bad behaviour or multi accounting amongst other offences. A banned user can be identified in OGame by the (b) symbol that appears after their name on the Galaxy Screen. In addition the OGame Forums have a Pillory section showing the current list of banned players, who banned them, the reason for their banning and its duration. When a Player is Banned they are automaticly placed into vacation mode, although this practice is questioned by Ogame members as some believe that being open to raiding should be part of the punishment.

- Users can be banned from OGame for a variety of rule infractions. These can range from temporary bans for relatively minor offences like swearing or first time pushing to bans for persistent bad behaviour or multi accounting amongst other offences. A banned user can be identified in OGame by the (b) symbol that appears after their name on the Galaxy Screen. In addition the OGame Forums have a Pillory section showing the current list of banned players, who banned them, the reason for their banning and its duration. When a Player is Banned they are automaticly placed into vacation mode, although this practice is questioned by Ogame members as some believe that being open to raiding should be part of the punishment. If users believe that a player has sent them an offensive or threatening message they may report it to a Game Operator for review. This is done by checking the 'report message?' box on the message screen. Game Operators administer the game and they have a number of powers to facilitate this. One of these is the ability to ban users. There are a number of reasons for GO imposed bans of which the most common is Multi Accounting. However, GOs also have the power to investigate user accounts to look for signs of Pushing, Bug Exploits or other activities contrary to the rules of the game. There are a number of punishments for these offences depending on both their severity and, in some cases, the number of times the offense has been committed. These range from temporary vacation mode bans - for example, the three day ban for first offence pushing puts the offender in vacation mode so they cannot be attacked during this time - to permanent bans where the user is barred sine die from the game. There are set penalties for each offense, however the GO has discretion to ban a user where their conduct, although not specifically covered by the rules, is contrary to the ethos of the game. Bans may be contested by approaching the relevant GO for clarification or, failing a satisfactory resolution, the Universe's Super Game Operator. You are not allowed to talk about your ban on the board, and all threads regarding bans will be closed. A player that opens one will get a warning. You can contact a GO, SGO or GA by opening ticket

Although it is usually against the policies, these are usually worked around with a sockpuppet.
