    428 [=#LobbyModeration]If you were simply kicked then you are able and allowed to reconnect to the lobby immediately. There are four English swearwords (the worst 4-letter words) that cause the profanity filter bot to auto-kick players.

    430 If you were muted or banned then you need to tell a lobby moderator, via the [https://wildfiregames.com/forum/ forum] or [https://www.wildfiregames.com/irc.html IRC chat], your lobby username and the approximate time and date that it happened. There is a possibility that you were auto-muted by the profanity filter bot, in which case only [https://wildfiregames.com/forum/profile/21426-user1/ user1] can undo that currently. If you were manually muted or banned then it is usually intentional, and you can contact a lobby moderator on the forum in order to ask about the reason for the mute/ban, and to engage in the appeal process.

     428[=#LobbyModeration]We hope that you too want to support an enjoyable environment for everyone in the lobby.

     430Lobby moderators watch the chat messages in the public lobby, game room names, and player names. Misconduct is punished with kicks, mutes or bans, typically on a reactive basis that may be delayed by hours. So, don't assume that the messages you sent just before being muted were the cause of the mute.

     432If you were simply kicked then you are able and allowed to reconnect to the lobby immediately. There are four English swearwords that cause the profanity filter bot to punish players. Initially, the bot will kick a user from the lobby for using profanity. With subsequent infractions the bot will mute a player for 2 days.
     433
     434If you were manually muted or banned then it is usually intentional, and you can privately contact a lobby moderator, via the [https://wildfiregames.com/forum/ forum] or [https://www.wildfiregames.com/irc.html IRC chat], in order to ask about the reason for the mute/ban or engage in the appeal process. Please include in the message your lobby username, the approximate time and date that it happened, and a description of what happened.
     435
     436You are not allowed to publicly complain about or even publicly discuss a ban. This helps to avoid spamming public chat with heated argument, and it ensures that there is an atmosphere conducive to a judicial process, Instead, the appeal process must be done through private communication with the lobby moderators.
