What are Punishment Controls?
Punishment Controls stop kicked players from coming straight back. If a player rejoins your ER:LC server within your rejoin timer, Melonly kicks or bans them again.
How to Use Punishment Controls
Find Punishment Controls on the ER:LC Integration → API page, below Shift Automation.
Configuration Options
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Punishment Rejoin Timer | How long, in minutes, a kicked player must stay out. If they rejoin sooner, Melonly punishes them again. |
| Should the User Be Kicked or Banned? | Off kicks the player again, on bans them |
| Create Log When User Rejoins | Creates a punishment log when the rejoin timer kicks or bans a player |
The last two settings are hidden when the timer is 0.
Staff with the Delete Logs permission can void the timer for a single kick. Find the kick command in Game Logs on the Mod Panel.
Example Use Cases
- Stop players from dodging kicks by rejoining
- Escalate to a ban for players who keep coming back
- Enforce kicks the same way for every staff member
