Please Note: Other punishments are available if **Quarantine System is disabled**
{% endhint %}

## Custom Punishments

To define a custom punishment, first locate and click the COG icon adjacent to the toggle switch. This action allows you to access a menu where you can select from three available punishment options: kick, ban, or quarantine. Each option provides a distinct method of addressing rule violations within your system.
