Summary
Kicking or banning players on an Ark: Survival Evolved server helps maintain a healthy and enjoyable game environment. Server administrators might kick players for minor offenses, such as temporary rule infractions or disruptive behavior, offering a chance for the player to correct their actions and rejoin. Banning, on the other hand, is reserved for more serious violations, like hacking, exploiting game mechanics, or persistently harassing other players.
