Running a DayZ server comes with the responsibility of maintaining a fair and enjoyable environment for all players. Unfortunately, there may be times when certain individuals violate server rules, disrupt gameplay, or engage in toxic behavior. In such cases, banning a player becomes a necessary step to protect your community and uphold your server standards. This guide will walk you through the process of banning players on your DayZ server whether temporarily or permanently. We’ll cover the different methods available, including in-game commands, server configuration files, and third-party tools, so you can choose the approach that best fits your setup.
Banning Players on your DayZ Server
If you need to manage or maintain your server or manage player bans there are some really useful tools that you can use to do this:
Method 1
EPM RCon - is a comprehensive remote administration tool designed to give server administrators full control over their DayZ servers. It allows you to kick or ban players, send in-game messages either globally or directly to specific users, and monitor other admins currently connected via RCon, including viewing their IP addresses. You can also change the server mission on the fly, as well as restart, stop, lock, or unlock the server as needed. Additional features include setting a maximum ping threshold to maintain server performance, forcing updates to the ban list by reloading changes from the bans.txt file, and applying updates to scripts or BattleEye filters by reloading the relevant configuration files. One of the standout benefits of EPM RCon is its ability to maintain a searchable database of all players who have connected to the server while you were logged in, capturing their name, GUID, and IP address for easy reference and administrative tracking.
