What Is Ban Def?
3.3BRAINROT SCOREban def French internet slang for a permanent ban from a forum, community or online account, short for « ban définitif ». It is a forum-moderation term, typically heard in reports of a user being excluded for good, often with an exasperated or joking tone.
Origin:Wiktionnaire describes « ban def » as an internet slang noun phrase, a portmanteau of « ban » and « définitif », marks its date as to be specified and the entry as needing a reference. It quotes a Jeuxvideo.com post dated 23 June 2019 (user ShacoId). Old Jeuxvideo.com forum threads from 2006 to 2009 also distinguish temporary bans from definitive ones, which shows the underlying practice, but none of the pages consulted dates the shortened form itself. This entry describes the moderation practice only.
