Bannishment

Article 6.2.2 Punishments
From: The Official Tibia Manual

Punishments for rule violations come in different forms, ranging from simple notations in the criminal record to banishments and sometimes even deletions of a player's account. Several things should be kept in mind: Likewise, please note that even though there are clear-cut rules, the gamemasters enjoy a certain freedom in their judgement on what is a rule violation and what is not. If a gamemaster finds a player has acted against the spirit of the Tibia Rules, he may still punish him because destructive behaviour is not necessarily limited to the specific offences listed in the Tibia Rules. However, in such cases the gamemaster will explain his decision in the comment. Also, if a player feels he has been treated in an unfair way by the gamemaster, he can complain.
 * There is a progression of punishments, i.e. if a character repeatedly breaks the rules, the punishments will gradually get worse. The individual punishment progression is determined by several factors and may vary.
 * With the exception of namelocks and the rare IP-banishments, punishments in Tibia always affect whole accounts. For example, if one character is banished for excessive player killing, it is impossible to log in with any character on that account until the banishment has expired.
 * Gamemasters have guidelines on how to punish rule violations. However, please note that they are not strictly bound to these guidelines. Gamemasters have great freedom in varying punishments if they feel it is necessary to do so.

In the following you will find a comprehensive list of all punishments that can be given to players in Tibia:

A notation is the least serious form of punishment in Tibia. It is a comment in the criminal record that should be thought of as a general warning. Since notations are recorded in your criminal record they will block you from applying to be a tutor. It is possible to complain about notations provided they have been given by a regular gamemaster. If a character has a name that violates the Tibia Rules, he will be excluded from the game until the player has selected a new, valid name. He can do so on the account page by viewing the corresponding entry in the criminal record. The new name will be forwarded to CipSoft for evaluation. If the new name is valid, it will be accepted, and the character can log in again. Please keep in mind, however, that if a name is seriously offensive, a gamemaster may decide to banish a character on top of the namelock. It is not possible to complain about namelocks, since they are always verified by the customer support team. Banishments are the most common form of punishments in Tibia. A banishment is a temporary exclusion both from the game as well as from the forum. Durations can be anything from a single day to a full month. A banishment of 30 days is the toughest punishment short of an account deletion, and it is usually accompanied by a final warning. Such final warnings are given to players to remind them that any further rule violation can lead to a deletion of the account. Players can complain about account banishments, provided the banishments have been imposed by regular gamemasters. IP-banishments are rare. They are an exception in that they do not only affect one account, but in fact a whole IP-address. As long as the banishment is active no player can log into Tibia from this IP-address. CipSoft reserves the right to temporarily block whole IP-addresses if they see fit to do so. Account deletions are the most serious punishments in Tibia. Because of this accounts are not deleted on the spot. Instead, accounts set for deletion are banished for an infinite period of time to make sure the deletion can be reviewed carefully. Once the deletion has been confirmed, however, the account can no longer be used at all. As with other punishments there is a period of seven days during which a player can complain about an account deletion. The deletion will not be carried out as long as the complaint has not been resolved. However, please note that once the complaint has been turned down the account will be permanently deleted.
