Banning Guidlines (2024)

Hello Survivors,

We have some exciting news to share with you all. We are introducing our Banning Guidelines for the game. If you feel that your ban was unwarranted, please feel free to contact Customer Support at (https://support.survivetheark.com) with the Subject line: Ban Appeal – (Your Steam ID). To find the steam ID we’re requesting, it’s the number after “profiles” in the url on steam. Here is an example of what we’re looking for: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/##############/home. We will then investigate it and respond accordingly. Below you’ll find our banning guidelines.
