Ban Command Syntax & Duration Specification
Mordhau administration and RCON require explicit three-argument syntax:
ban <name or PlayfabID> <minutes> <reason>.
Argument order is strict: the duration argument must precede the reason.
Duration Units:
Durations are measured strictly in minutes (e.g. 60 = 1 hr, 1440 = 24 hrs, 10080 = 7 days).
Safe Recommended Example:
ban <PlayfabID> 1440 GriefingPermanent Ban Notice: Standard Mordhau server documentation does not verify permanent bans via 0 or omitting duration. For extended or indefinite removals, specify long minute durations (e.g. 525600 for 1 year). Reference: Mordhau Community RCON Guide.
