| − | The term '''banned''' is used when referring to an account or IP that has been restricted from one or any YTMND-related activities including, but not limited to:
| + | |
| − | # Logging in or resetting the account's password.
| + | |
| − | # Viewing or posting to the forums.
| + | |
| − | # Accessing any YTMND domain
| + | |
| − | # Accessing the Ventrilo server.
| + | |
| − | There are also two different types of bans used on the YTMND Network: '''User Bans''' and '''Blanket Bans'''. Each have distinct effects upon the user subjected to them and effect different groups or individuals.

| − | ==Use of Banned YTMNDs==
| + | |
| − | When a YTMND user account is banned from YTMND.com, the user is no longer able to view any and all YTMND domains or content. When visiting any page after receiving a ban, the user in question is redirected to {{ytmnd|banned|a special YTMND}}. This YTMND was created by [[Max]] as a special greeting for individuals who have received an administrative ban or users who have accessed YTMND from a forbidden referrer.

| − | ===Banned YTMND Content===
| + | |
| − | The banned user YTMND is simple. The image portion consists of a photo of Ray Charles and the phrase "Perma-banned" tiled behind him and the phrase "You Can't See Shit!" juxtapositioned in the front. The audio portion is a short loop of Ray Charles' "Hit the Road Jack."

| − | ==User Bans==
| + | |
| − | The most common cause of a ban is due to [[Terms of Use]] violations documented by the moderating staff. Occasionally, less-productive users can be banned because of multiple low-quality, low-traffic YTMNDs. Typically, the users is given the option to either delete the YTMNDs in question or forfeit all created YTMNDs and chance a ban.

| − | | + | |
| − | ==Blanket Bans==
| + | |
| − | In addition to individual user bans, referrers have been banned as well. The most notable referrer with a blanket ban is [[eBaum's World]], due to the large amount of tension between the two communities. If a user attempts to click on a link to any site on YTMND.com, they are immediately forwarded to ebaumsworldsucks.com.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | A referrer ban is easily circumvented by arriving at the desired website directly, or from a certified link that is not in the banned referrer list.
