When GC can lobby boot
Effects of a lobby boot
You are ejected to the server lobby and you cannot rejoin the server until the game ends, or you change your callsign.
You may still join any other game which is being played.
Dealing with a lobby boot
Lobby bans are not common. If the Game Controller lobby boots you it is probably for a very good reason. Normally this will be because "You were spamming" or "Highly offensive language" and no Admins were logged into the server. Most Game Controllers warn you before they lobby boot you.
Do not rejoin the game under a different callsign and start swearing at the GC. They'll probably just lobby-boot you again. 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 lobby boot was malicious and your ex-Commander should be issued a ban you should PM BlackViper, the Enforcement Zone Lead.
