Is in-game moderation allowed?

I am making an online multiplayer game and I am wondering if it is allowed to make a moderation script to ban the usernames of players who are breaking the rules.

I do not think it is possible. Unless it is a game about chatting (using cloud variables), which is not allowed.

its more of a system that gives specific players i trust a moderator role which give them the ability to ban certain players for doing stuff like griefing, trolling, that kind of stuff

i think i should mention that its gonna be a building/survival game

I don't believe this is allowed. Users can write all kinds of profanity and/or vulgar symbols using these blocks.

I'm not sure if that's possible, it would surely take well over 1,000 lines to make (which will be very laggy), but it should be allowed. I'd say go for it.

I think I've seen somewhere that says that you aren't allowed to make code that doesn't allow certain people to play your project, even if you were allowed to do so, the person could easily create another account.

The OP is not asking about anything related to chat projects. They are asking about banning users for doing disrespectful things to others in their game. (Such disrespectful things can be done without any chat capabilities.)

I would advise against this. I do agree with @LightBoy77's points. Maybe some other safeguards should be programmed into the game to ensure that griefing/trolling is not possible.

Would kicking a player be fine? or restricting some of their abilities temporarily? maybe i can figure out an automod

What is the difference between kicking someone and banning them?

kicking someone to just remove them from the game until they relaunch the project

kicking someone means there banned but just once?

and banning means they are banned from the game forever





EDIT -

i had to wait 120 seconds so someone beat me to it

I'd say kicking them would be better than banning them. I'm not 100% sure if that would be allowed. But if you must implement one, I would go with kicking (rather than banning).

Alright. Thank you.
