# Fixed Ban Reason

You can configure custom ban reasons. This will enforce the staff members to use your reasons.

{% hint style="info" %}
The entire **reasons** section is optional and **not** present in the default config
{% endhint %}

### Configuration

```yaml
ban-module:
  enabled: true
  permban-template: default
  tempban-template: default
  reasons: 
    - name: GRIEFING
      reason: No griefing allowed on this server
    - name: BULLYING
      reason: bullying will not be tolerated
      template: bullying
    - name: CURSING
      reason: Consistent cursing. Temporarily banned.
      template: cursing
      ban-type: TEMP_BAN
```

In the above config we have defined 3 ban reasons. GRIEFING, BULLYING and CURSING.\
\
Every reason configuration must have at least a `name` and a `reason` . Optionally you can also define a `template` . When you define a template you overwrite any other configured template. However staff members can still [provide a template in their command](/features/banning/templates.md#overwriting-the-default-template). 

By default ban reasons are applicable to both permanent and temporary ban. You can however define another optional configuration option`ban-type` . The ban type can be configured with **TEMP\_BAN** or  **PERM\_BAN.** When the type is configured, this ban reason will only apply for these types of bans. \
\
If no ban reasons are configured, the staff members can provide a custom reason. As soon as at least one ban reason is configured they are obligated to use ban reasons and can no longer fill in a custom message
