How to get unbanned from a Rust server

To get unbanned from a Rust server, contact that server's admins and ask for a review of your ban. Only the server's staff can lift a server ban. Bans from Facepunch or Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) are different: the server cannot remove them. Below: how to tell which ban you have, how to reach the admins and what to put in your message.

Find your server's contact

Search by server name to see its contact links.

Which kind of ban do you have?

Server ban

Server admins

Applies to one server or one community's servers. The admins set it and can lift it. You usually see a ban message when you try to connect, often with a reason.

Facepunch or EAC ban

Not the server

Applies to your Rust account, not to one server. Server admins cannot lift it. EAC bans are permanent; an appeal goes through Easy Anti-Cheat's own support.

Not sure?

Try another server

If other servers let you in, it is most likely a server ban.

How to reach the server admin

Find the server's Discord or website. On Just Wiped, open the server page and look at the Contact & support block. Find your server's contact
Look for a channel named like #ban-appeal, #support or #tickets, or open a ticket if the server offers one.
If there is no contact link, check the server description in Rust's server browser or the server's Steam group.

What to include in your appeal

Your SteamID64 (17 digits, from your Steam profile address)
Server name
Approximate date and time of the ban, with your time zone
The ban reason shown, if any
Your side of the story, short and factual
A clip or screenshot, if it supports your case

Tone and waiting time

Be polite and concise. Admins read many appeals and often respond more readily to calm, factual messages. Reply times differ from server to server, from hours to weeks, and some servers do not take appeals. Post your appeal once and wait; repeated messages rarely help. No server has to lift a ban, and nobody can promise you the outcome.

What does not help

Appeals that blame others or insult staff tend to be rejected. A server cannot lift a Facepunch or EAC ban, so asking its admins about one will not help; for an EAC ban, go through Easy Anti-Cheat's own support. With a server ban, you can still play on other servers while you wait.

What just-wiped does (and does not do)

just-wiped lists Rust servers and shows their public data. We do not run or moderate servers and we cannot unban you or contact admins on your behalf.

Frequently asked questions

Can just-wiped unban me?

No. just-wiped only lists servers. Only the server's admins can lift a server ban.

Can a server admin remove an EAC or Facepunch ban?

No. These bans apply to your account, not to a single server. EAC bans are permanent; an appeal goes through Easy Anti-Cheat's own support.

Where do I find my SteamID64?

Open your Steam profile; if the address ends in a 17-digit number, that is it. Otherwise use a Steam ID lookup tool with your profile link.

How long does an appeal take?

It differs by server. Some answer within a day, others take longer or do not accept appeals.

I cannot find the server's Discord. What now?

Check the server page here for contact links, the server description in Rust, or the server's website or Steam group.

Will my ban be lifted if I appeal?

There is no guarantee. Admins decide case by case.
