If you've been banned from Among Us, don't panic just yet. If it's a temporary ban, you'll need to wait until the time runs out. For permanent bans, you might be able to appeal directly to Innersloth, the game's creators, by filling out a dispute form on their support website.

Getting banned from Among Us can be frustrating, especially when you're just trying to have fun with friends. But understanding why bans happen and what you can do about them is key to getting back into the game.

What is an Among Us Ban?

In Among Us, there are two main types of bans:

• Temporary Bans: These bans last for a set period, usually from 1 to 30 days. They are given for breaking the rules, but not in a super serious way. The game will tell you how long you have to wait until you can play again.
• Permanent Bans: These bans mean you're kicked out of the game forever. They happen for very serious rule-breaking or if you keep breaking rules even after getting temporary bans.

Why Do Players Get Banned?

Players get banned for many reasons, all listed in the Among Us Code of Conduct. Here are some common ones:

• Minor Rule Breaking:
• Impersonating Others: Pretending to be a famous person or developer.
• Spamming: Repeating messages over and over in chat.
• Major Rule Breaking:
• Unsportsmanlike Conduct: Being mean, yelling at players, trying to make others feel bad, or intentionally playing poorly to ruin the game. I remember one time, I got so annoyed with an Impostor that I started calling them out in a really rude way in chat. I thought it was just part of the game, but then I got a warning pop-up. It made me realize that even when the game gets intense, it's important to keep things fair and friendly.
• Inappropriate Chat: Sharing personal info or using bad words too much.
• Inappropriate Names: Using offensive or rude names.
• Severe Rule Breaking:
• Bullying/Harassment: Being really mean to someone, making threats, or using hate speech.
• Cheating/Hacking: Using special programs to get an unfair advantage. This can also include admitting to hacking in chat.
• Sexual Misconduct: Making suggestive comments or pressuring others for sexual activity.
• Doxing: Sharing someone's private information.
• Illegal Activity: Promoting anything against the law.

Sometimes, you might even get a temporary ban by accident, like if your game crashes a lot, making it look like you're leaving games on purpose. I once got banned for a short time after my internet cut out during a game. I was pretty confused until I looked it up and found out that disconnecting, even accidentally, can sometimes trigger a temporary ban. It was a good reminder that the game's system can't always tell the difference between a bug and someone trying to mess up a match.

Can You Appeal an Among Us Ban?

This depends on the type of ban you received:

• Temporary Bans: You generally cannot appeal temporary bans. You'll just have to wait for the ban period to end. The game will show you how much time is left.
• Permanent Bans: Yes, you can appeal a permanent ban. This is your chance to explain what happened to the game's moderators.

How to Appeal a Permanent Among Us Ban

If you believe your permanent ban was a mistake or you want to explain your side, here’s how to appeal it:

1. Review the Code of Conduct: Before you do anything, take a moment to read the Among Us Code of Conduct. This will help you understand exactly what rules you might have broken and how to explain your situation clearly.

2. Go to the Innersloth Help Center: Innersloth is the company that made Among Us. They have a special help center for player issues. You can find it by searching for "Innersloth Help Center" or "Among Us support".

3. Choose "Dispute a Ban": Once on the help center page, look for an option to "Submit a request" or "Dispute a Ban". Make sure you select the correct option to send your message to the right team.

4. Fill Out the Form: You'll need to provide information like your email, player ID (you can find this in the game's settings even if you're banned), and a detailed description of why you think you should be unbanned. Be honest and explain what happened clearly. Giving as much detail as possible can help your case.

Remember, ban evasion (trying to get around a ban by making a new account) is not allowed and can lead to even more permanent bans, including on any alternate accounts you create.
