DACbans

DACbans refers to a system of permanent bans implemented on the game Defense of the Ancients (DotA). These bans are typically issued by the game developers or administrators for severe violations of the game's terms of service or community guidelines. The most common reasons for a DACban include cheating, exploiting game mechanics in an unauthorized manner, or engaging in severe toxicity and harassment.

Once a DotA account receives a DACban, it is permanently disallowed from playing the game. This means the account can no longer be used to access DotA's matchmaking services or participate in any official game modes. The intention behind DACbans is to maintain a fair and enjoyable environment for the majority of players by removing individuals who consistently disrupt the game experience for others.

The process of receiving a DACban usually involves an investigation into player reports or detected cheating. While some bans can be automated based on evidence of certain actions, others may require manual review. Players who believe they have been wrongly banned can typically appeal the decision through official support channels, though the success of such appeals depends on the validity of their claims and the evidence presented. DACbans are considered a serious penalty within the DotA community.
