How to Ban & Un-Ban Players In Rust:
There are many reasons why you as a server owner or an admin on the server would want to ban a player. Banning players is a way to make sure that the rules that you set in your Rust server are followed. Toxic behavior from un-wanted players can cause other wanted players to leave and never return to your server.
Method One (Banning a player who is currently on the server):
- While in-game hit F1 to bring up the console
- Type ban “player_name” “optional_reason”
Make sure that you replace player_name with the player’s in-game name that you want to ban. If you want to put a reason you can also do that however this is not required.
Method Two (Banning a player who is offline):
- While in-game press F1 to open up the console
- Type banid “steam_id” “optional_reason”
Make sure that you replace steam_id with the player’s steam64 ID. You can find steam 64 id’s on steamid.io. Same as before with the reason if you would like to put a reason you can however this is not required.
How to Un-Ban a Player:
- While in-game press F1 to open up the console
- Type unban steam_id
Make sure that you replace steam_id with the player’s steam64 ID. You can find steam 64 id’s on steamid.io. However, this time it is important to note that there are no quotes with the steamid. When un-banning if you put quotes around the steamid it will not work.
