What does this setting do?
Banned players stay in the database with all their data while this switch is off — bases, vehicles and stashes included. With it on, they are cleared at server start.
The default is deliberately off, and for good reason: a ban is sometimes lifted. If the suspicion was wrong or the penalty temporary, a deleted player cannot simply return — their progress is gone. Only delete once the decision is final.
Which value suits my server?
Relaxed PvE
Off. Bans can be reversed.
Classic PvP
Off.
Hardcore
On, if bans are always final.
What to watch out for
Not reversible
If a ban is lifted later, the progress is already destroyed. If you review and reverse bans occasionally, leave this off.
Bases still get in the way
While nothing is deleted, banned players' bases keep blocking building plots. An admin then has to remove them by hand.
