Summary
Kicking or banning players on a Project Zomboid server becomes necessary to maintain a positive and fair gaming environment. Server administrators implement these measures to address disruptive behavior, cheating, or any violation of server rules that might compromise the integrity of the gameplay experience. Kicking serves as a temporary removal, often as a warning or a response to minor infractions, while banning is a more severe action, preventing the player from accessing the server permanently or for a designated period.
