how to ban an offline player in erlc

In ER:LC, you generally ban an offline player by using their username in the moderation command, not by needing them to be in the server. The moderation guide lists the command as :ban [Offender’s Username], which means the player name is the key input rather than their online status.

How to do it

1. Open the server’s admin/moderation commands.
2. Type the ban command with the player’s username.
3. Add a reason if your server rules require one.
4. Confirm the action and make sure you’re using the exact username.

Important note

If the person is truly offline and their username is all you have, this is the normal route in ER:LC moderation systems; some servers may also log user IDs for easier enforcement, but the public command reference I found specifically shows username-based banning. A separate community video also shows banning by copying a user ID in moderation tools, which suggests some servers or panels may support ID-based moderation too.

What to check

• Use the exact username spelling.
• Make sure you have moderator/admin permissions.
• If the command does nothing, your server may use a different moderation panel or require the player to be in logs first.

Example

If the username is Player123, the command would be something like:
:ban Player123
That matches the documented ER:LC moderation format.

If you want, I can also format this into a short forum-style reply you can paste directly.
