What Does This Mean?

ban life

[ SLANG ][ MULTILINGUAL NATIVE ]

FORCE: Attention EconomyUNIVERSE: French Internet Forum CultureCLUSTER: forum_moderation_slang

French forum and gaming slang for a lifetime ban from an account, game or community, a variant of « ban à vie » mixing French and English. It is thinly documented and is used with a dramatic or joking tone when a user is excluded for good.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"Il a triché en ranked : ban life."

LORE & ORIGIN

No page opened documents « ban life » as a term. A search of Jeuxvideo.com threads returned only 2006 to 2009 discussions of temporary (about 30 days) and definitive bans, with no use of the phrase. It is kept as a thin record next to « ban def » and the corpus entries « permaban » and « ban wave »; its exact usage and date are not established. This entry describes the moderation practice only.
