There are many circumstances that cause a ban and the most common one is when you are kicked / banned for TKing. In this particular situation, the ban lasts for one round (i.e map change).

The next thing to do is make sure you have not actually been kicked. Many people mistake a kick for a ban. Wait at least an hour and see if you still can't reconnect to the server and make sure the message you get indicates you have been banned and not kicked.

If you are still banned or have been banned for another reason, you can appeal your ban by posting in the Battlefield 2 - Contact an Admin forum. Your post should include six things:

1) Your in-game handle (including tags if you wear any)

2) The server from which you were banned (PR, PoE2, FH2, 2142)

3) Your CD HASH (NOT CD KEY). Download BF2 Key Hasher Here

4) What you did to get yourself banned, i.e. your side of the story.

5) Identify which # rule you violated. To do this, you will need to navigate the Official Rules, Announcements & SOPs forum, find the server rules and read them in their entirety. (This shows us you've actually read the rules.)

6) Explain: In you're opinion, why does TG have that rule? This will show us whether or not you understand the spirit of the rules, and that you may be ready to have your ban lifted.

Consider using the following template when creating your post:

Darkilla: In short, NS is pretty much really fast chess. With guns. Apophis: I haven't seen anyone say that SM's are better than non-SMs. Nordbomber: This is THE first server I've seen where either side can comeback from out of seemingly nowhere with the right teamwork. en4rcment: I have NEVER experienced the type of gameplay that I have found here. Nightly I am amazed at the personalities and gaming talent. Zephyr: Apophis is clearly a highly sophisticated self-aware AI construct that runs on a highly modified toaster oven in Wyzcrak's basement.

Quick note about the above tool.. Since 1.03, it no longer reads your bf2 CD key from the registry, so you will need to enter it manually. There is an menu option:

Menu -> Enter CD key manually.

To those who would complain about the need to download a program to be unbanned:

Battlefield2 handles most bans through the use of the md5-encrypted hash of your CD-key. In the system, your ban looks like 5745588be00e1a65a334f4a71d738106, which is complete nonsense to us (as it might be to you). Therefore, if you wish to get unbanned, we require you to tell us what this hash is, and this utility is probably the easiest way.

If you're feeling technical, you can compute the hash on your own without the program (algorithm description here). But please, make no mistake, we need this information if we're ever to clear your ban entry.
