permaban
Forever locked out
A permaban is a permanent ban from an online platform, game, or community—as opposed to temporary suspensions that expire.
The term combines "permanent" and "ban." Getting permabanned typically results from severe or repeated violations: He got permabanned for cheating, One more offense and it's a permaban.
As a verb: The mods permabanned three accounts last night.
