Once Human Ban Report: 345 Reasons I Play Nice in Nalcott

It’s 2026, and I still flinch when a player in Nalcott starts flying sideways like a confused pigeon. Why? Because back in late November 2025, Once Human’s moderation team dropped a ban report that made me clutch my virtual hammer and whisper, “Please don’t let that be me.” Between November 21 and November 28, 2025, they banned 345 players. Not a typo. Three hundred and forty-five. That’s enough people to fill a small server, a large guild meeting, or my entire friends list if I ever became popular.

Here’s the spicy breakdown that made me sit up straight:

• 138 players penalized for cheating. Yes, actual cheats. Not “I built a really good base” cheating. We’re talking teleporting, flying, wall-clipping, and abnormal throwable damage. The classic “I’m not touching you, I’m just inside your walls” routine.

• 10 accounts suspended for alt-account exploitation and linked violations. If you thought your sneaky second account was invisible, surprise: the devs check linked accounts and ban those too.

• 9 players penalized for malicious interference. That’s the “I’m going to ruin your day because I’m bored” category. Not cool, friends.

• Plus, separately, 147 players received language-violation bans of varying durations. The chat got so spicy that the moderation team had to bring out the mop.

The language ban table looked like this:

I don’t know about you, but a 2-hour mute feels like a timeout in kindergarten. A 30-day mute? That’s a digital vow of silence. The devs said they’re optimizing the chat restriction system with upgraded smart filtering to reduce false positives and better manual review for more accurate judgment. Good. Because I’ve seen innocent “GG” messages get flagged while actual toxic nonsense slides by like a greased pig. I’m exaggerating. Mostly.

Now, here’s the part that keeps me humble: the AI model is still being updated, and backend monitoring data shows there’s still a slight chance of false bans. The team apologized for any inconvenience and said if you have questions about a penalty, you should submit an appeal through the in-game appeal screen. I respect that. It’s like a bouncer saying, “Hey, we might have accidentally kicked you out, but please fill out this form and we’ll double-check.” Honest. Slightly terrifying. Very live-service.

I also appreciate that they’re not just banning the main account and calling it a day. After banning an account, they check for associated alt accounts and ban those as well. That’s the digital equivalent of finding your secret snack stash and throwing away the whole box. If you cheat, your side accounts are going down with the ship. No escape hatch. No “but my little brother was playing.” The devs have heard that one before.

The report also mentioned that they keep receiving reports from Metas about cheating behavior. The most frequent offenses? Teleporting, flying, wall-clipping, and abnormal throwable damage. I’ve seen all four in my nightmares. There’s nothing quite like watching someone clip through a wall, throw a grenade with the force of a small sun, and then fly away like a superhero who forgot to read the terms of service. The team says they verify and act on these cases promptly. If you encounter violations, report them through the official in-game reporting channel or customer support. I do. I report like it’s my part-time job. My report button is probably worn out.

The devs also made it clear: they will identify characteristics of newly discovered cheats and use them for retroactive investigations. That means even if you got away with it last week, you might wake up banned tomorrow. It’s like cheating in a test and then the teacher re-grades every paper with a UV light. Surprise! Your answers glow in the dark.

And for malicious behavior that disrupts gameplay? Verified cases result in immediate bans. Not a warning. Not a stern letter. A ban. They encourage all Meta-Humans to play responsibly and help maintain a fair and enjoyable gaming environment. I’m trying. I really am. I only teabag people who deserve it. Kidding. Please don’t ban me.

The report also noted that due to space limitations, they don’t provide the full list of players banned for speech violations, and the list of players penalized for maliciously exploiting game mechanics between November 21 and November 28, 2025, is also abbreviated. Honestly, that’s fine. I don’t need to read 345 names. I just need to know that the ban hammer is swinging. And it is. It’s swinging like a piñata stick at a birthday party, except the piñata is a cheater’s account and the candy is justice.

So what did I learn? Nalcott is a world brought to life by interactions. Whether you’re sharing highlights or fighting alongside friends, every sincere exchange brings warmth to the game. Use kind words. Don’t fly through walls. Don’t throw grenades that break physics. Don’t make a secret alt army. And if you do get banned by an AI that’s still learning, appeal nicely. We’re all in this weird, wonderful, occasionally wall-clipping world together. Let’s keep it fair. And let’s keep my base standing. Please. 🙏
