temp ban
Short-term exclusion
A temp ban is a temporary ban, typically from an online platform, game, or community.
Unlike permanent bans, temp bans lift after a set period—hours, days, or weeks—giving the user another chance: I got a three-day temp ban for toxic chat.
The punishment fits minor or first-time violations.
