The -3 Ban

Trade Level -3 is the floor. A player who dies there does not sink any lower, they get banned. This is the hard consequence that gives the whole ladder its weight.

When it fires

Only on a death while already at -3

The ban triggers only when a player was already at -3 before this death. The death that first brings someone down to -3 just sets their level. It is the next death after that which bans them.

So the sequence is:

1. Player drops to -3 on a death. No ban yet.
2. Player dies again while still at -3. Ban.

Who is exempt

Anyone with the tradesmp.bypass.ban permission is never banned by this. Handy for admins and for testing. See Permissions.

Controlling the ban

All of this lives under ban-on-repeat-death in the config.

Setting	What it does
enabled	Master switch. Set false and dying at -3 does nothing extra, the level just stays at -3.
permanent	true bans forever. false bans for the number of hours below.
temporary-duration-hours	How long a temporary ban lasts. Only used when permanent is false.

Turn it into a timeout instead of a permaban

Set permanent: false and temporary-duration-hours: 24 for a one day ban. Setting permanent: false with temporary-duration-hours: 0 means no real ban at all, an easy way to soften -3 without fully disabling the feature.

The ban message players see is pulled from the language file, so you can reword it. See Messages & Language.
