In Arma 3 servers, kicks and bans are tools used by administrators to maintain order and enforce server rules. Kicks are temporary removals from the server, typically for minor infractions or warnings, while bans are more severe and result in a permanent exclusion. These measures help cultivate a fair and enjoyable gaming environment for all players, ensuring smooth gameplay and respectful interactions.

1. Join the server as an admin. Learn how to become an admin here.

2. Open the text box with frontslash (/) on the keyboard and enter the desired commands.

Command	Description	Example
#userlist	Displays the list of user #s and nicknames connected to the server.
#kick "[user#/name]" #exec kick "[user#/name]"	Kicks the desired user # or nickname of the player.
#exec ban "[user#/name]"	Adds the SteamID64 of the desired user # or nickname of the player to the ban list.
#exec unban "SteamID64"	Removes the desired player from the ban list.
