Bans

A ban or banning is a restrict towards a user's access to Chatgum via either inappropriate behavior or decision by the Admin Team or Moderators.

How it works
Many misconceptions exist about how the Chatgum Ban works, but as we know there are a few types of ban they may be created.

Mute:
If you a user misbehaves enough in chat with no previous history of rule breaking for a given amount of time they will be muted, which restricts a users access to post in chat, direct message or post any form of tile. These can last up to a week. You can also be auto-muted, which will occur if you post too many of the same chat message too much or making too many accounts too quickly. A moderator 2 may also mute you if they feel you are breaking the rules. Any type of mute can be evaded by changing accounts as they are linked to the username.

Tile Mute:
Tile Mutes are purely automatic, and occur if you post too many messages too the board at one time. You will be given a message called, "You have alot more to say before sending!" and you won't be able to post on tiles until you leave the app and reenter the app.

Upload Ban:
If you misbehave long enough regarding inappropriate photo usage, you may get your ability to upload photographs removed. Meaning you will no longer be able to edit or upload any profile photos, background photos or tile photos. This is attached to usernames, meaning you can avoid it by logging into another account. You can get this revoked by the Admin Team or by a Moderator.

Hard Ban:
If you get muted so many times or break enough rules, you will receive a hard ban. A hard ban is restricting a user's ability to login or sign up with any accounts on the device itself using the device's ID, changing your IP will not prevent yourself from getting banned.
