What is a Ban BOLO?

A Ban BOLO (Be On the Lookout) flags a player who should be banned the next time they’re seen. Use it when a player has left before you could ban them. Active Ban BOLOs have a yellow border. Staff with the Ban permission see them pinned to the top of Punishment Logs.

​
Creating a Ban BOLO

Requires the Ban Bolo permission.
Create a log with the Ban Bolo type, like any other log. See Creating Logs.

​
Completing a Ban BOLO

Requires the Ban permission.
Click ⋮ on an active Ban BOLO and select Complete (ban user).
  • A Ban log is created under your name.
  • The BOLO is marked as completed by you.
  • If the player has moderation DMs turned on, they’re notified with the original BOLO reason.
Creating a regular Ban log for a player with an active BOLO also completes the BOLO automatically.

​
Banning in-game

If Manual Ban BOLO Completion is turned on in Dashboard → ER:LC, Melonly also bans the player from your ER:LC server when you complete the BOLO. You need the ER:LC Admin or ER:LC Co-Owner permission for the in-game ban.

​
Invalidating a Ban BOLO

If a BOLO was a mistake, click ⋮ and select Invalidate ban BOLO. The BOLO is marked as denied by you and is no longer active.

​
Automatic Ban BOLOs

Your server can create Ban BOLOs automatically. Automatic BOLOs show System as the staff member.
