Ban (lore)

This page is about the concept of banning and its lore in recessfun. Are you looking for information on the command?

Banning is a powerful ability only used by certain people that wipes out a player's existence.

Origin
The origination of the ability is unknown, but upon the creation of the world, God had already known the ability.

Overview
The technique is simple- in an instant, a being is wiped completely clear out of existence. All traces of their existence, including all possessions that were on their body at the moment of their banning, all their possessions are relocated to the community chests inside The Estate 2, and all builds they may have created are levelled (with the blocks involved also placed inside the community chests). While the wiping out of the player is instant, the removal of all traces is procedural- as it is done by the mortal God Task Force as opposed to God themself.

Purpose
The true purpose of banning is to remove players who are either unruly, break server rules, or have caused a problem in some other community connected to recessfun. Due to lore's heavy importance in the server, it is impossible to truly get rid of a user- hence why the banning system rather removes that person at that point in time. '''No user who was banned is ever important to the lore. Please respect the privacy of those who were banned. Do not harass an operator with questions about banned users.'''

Cheating The System (To an extent)
TheLegend699 is the only current case of a canonically banned user who has been unbanned. After the repeated killing of the revived Tinkerbell, he was temporarily banned- although he was unbanned very briefly after his banning. Whether this was due to being unbanned or due to him having been banned for a very brief moment in time, his identity was not erased from the collective playerbase's memory.

Skean has refused to canonically comment as to how being banned felt.
