Ban

A ban in ZOMBS.io is defined as a suspension or an expulsion from the game which can be temporary or permament. The bans we see now were, though, only introduced in early 2020.

A ban shows up as a disconnected screen, with the difference of other areas of the screen not loading.

Bans can be defined as either automatic or manual.

Bans can also be by IP or hardware (Device ban).

Automatic bans may occur if your IP has 9 or more sockets in a single server.

Manual bans may occur if the developers review your behavior as bad in the game, and negatively affecting the community. These will most likely be hardware.

There are 2 types of bans:Xhnged the last section and made a spelling fix

1. Local ban
A local ban may happen if you successfully send 9 or more sockets into a single server. This ban only involves a single server and is permanent. It lasts until the server you're banned in resets. This type of ban is IP-based, meaning no device on your Local Area Network will be able to join this server.

2. Global ban
A global ban may happen if you do the same thing as a local ban, except it involves every server in the game, and it can last from a single day to an entire month (Global bans clear at the end of each month). This type of ban is also IP-based.

Trivia

 * Both types of bans can be circumvented by use of a VPN (IP Bans) or a Virtual Machine (for Hardware ban). However, devs will continue to ban your IPs and machines. It is better to wait out the ban.
