{% hint style="warning" %}
The **duration**, the **reason** and the **proof** are not **obligatory** ! If you **don't specify** a reason or you **don't give** a proof, they will be **filled** as `none`. If you **don't specify** a duration, the ban will be **definitive**.
{% endhint %}

Once the command is run, the robot will do all the necessary checks to find out if the user can be banned from the server. If this is the case, this message will be resend to you.
