Bans

Please Note

Ban reasoning is not always limited to just the aforementioned reasons, administration reserves the right to make decisions for any case they deem necessary, but this is typically left to cases which are outliers or uncommon.

Game Server Bans

All ozfortress bans excluding Permanent Bans are subject to the following:
