The Ban User<\/strong> feature in a chat room allows administrators or moderators to block a specific user from accessing and participating in the conversation. When a user is banned, they can no longer send messages or view the chat room’s content. This feature is typically used to maintain a safe and respectful environment, preventing disruptive behavior or violations of community guidelines. The ban can be temporary or permanent, depending on the situation and the rules of the chat room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a user is not following chat rules, you can ban the user for misbehaving in the chat room. Here’s how you can do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Login to the chat as an Admin user.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You will need to be an Admin to delete messages. If you wish to create a new admin user, Please refer to this guide: Create an admin user<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Click on a User name<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Click on a user name in the left-hand corner of the users’ list.<\/p>\n\n\n

This will open the private chat plus moderation panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Kick or ban user<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If this user misbehaves, you may select the appropriate action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disconnect<\/strong> – A warning, this will remove the user from the chat, but allow them to reconnect in a few seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ban by IP<\/strong> – this will remove the user from the chat, and disallow access from their current IP address. If the user was logged in with a RumbleTalk account, that account will be removed from the chatroom.<\/p>\n\n\n
