# Ban/unban command

## Ban a user

To ban a user, you just need to run the command `/ban` and indicating, as in the example below, the user, the duration, the reason and a proof.

{% 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.

**Congratulations**, you have just banned a user with **ProtectList** ! The **ban informations** will be **saved** by the bot and you will be able to **get** it.
{% endhint %}

## Unban a user

### With the button

You can unban a user with the button below the command response. You just have to click on the button and indicate the reason for the unban in the modal appearing, as below.
