How to Ban and Unban Players on Your Rust Server

Banning a player permanently prevents them from joining your server until you remove the ban. This is useful for dealing with cheaters, griefers, or players who repeatedly break your server rules.

Banning an Online Player

1. Navigate to the Wabbanode Control Panel and select your Rust server.
2. Click the Console tab.
3. Enter the following command:

ban "playername" "reason"

For example:

ban "Wabbaguy" "Cheating"

The player will be immediately banned and removed from the server.

Banning an Offline Player

To ban a player who is not currently online, you'll need their Steam ID.

1. Visit SteamID.net and enter the player's Steam username or profile URL.
2. Copy their SteamID64 (Dec) number.
3. In the console, enter the following command:

banid "steamid" "playername" "reason"

For example:

banid "76561199811316573" "Wabbaguy" "Cheating"

Unbanning a Player

To remove a ban and allow a player to rejoin, use the following command with their Steam ID:
