Important differences:
- A Boot is when a commander kicks you off his team.
- A Lobby boot is when a Game Controller kicks you off the server.
- A ban is when the admins have blocked your account from joining the online servers. This will normally be because you broke one of the Terms of Service or the Rules of Conduct.
Effects of a Boot
You are ejected to the server lobby and you cannot rejoin the server until either the game ends, or you change your callsign.
You may still join any other game which is being played, or create your own.
Dealing with a Boot
If your commander boots you it was probably for a good reason. This reason may be as valid as "You were about to give away the position of our main attack", or as draconian as "You weren't doing exactly as I was ordering", or as harsh as "You were doing something stupid". Most commanders are happy to explain the reason for your boot after the game has ended, although perhaps not politely.
Do not rejoin the game under a different callsign and start abusing your ex-commander. Do not make a big deal of it on the forums. Neither of these actions will help your case, nor your reputation. If you truly do feel that the boot was malicious and your ex-commander should be issued a ban you should PM BlackViper, the Enforcement Zone Lead.
