Raven Network: the shared ban list

Bans confirmed by Raven staff, plus a short automatic list, are refused at connect on every Raven server. On by default, and each server can turn it off.

What it is

The Raven Network is one ban list shared by every Raven server. A player on it is refused when they connect, and the ban card shows a GLOBAL BAN badge. They never appear on your own Bans List, because the ban is not yours.

How a ban gets on the list

Raven staff add bans they have confirmed, and a short list of detections that only a cheater trips adds one by itself. Bans your own admins issue stay on your server. When an automatic network ban came from a ban you later reverse, the network ban comes off with it.

What your server controls

It is on by default, so a new server gets every existing network ban from its first connect. The list started in June 2026. You can turn it off in Main Settings, or let one player in by skipping a single ban. Appeals go through Raven's Discord.

Can my server turn the Raven Network off?

Yes. It is on by default, and you can turn it off for your server in Main Settings or skip a single ban to let one player in.
