View source for November 2025 Ban Wave

On November 28 - 29, 2025, a ban wave occurred that saw the banning and account termination of 5 notable PixelPlace Players, mainly former Moderators and/or other notable users, those being Renko, SalX, SorryTerror, LVintageNerd, and Realwdpcker, as well as Drug’s permanent muting. Two of these five still have their accounts terminated today.

== Background ==
In the days prior to the ban wave happening, SalX left the PXP Discord Server, which led to an argument between Owmince’s Staff and a couple users, including Renko, SorryTerror, and LVintageNerd. SalX would later be banned, as would Realwdpcker, the latter mentioning their own site over it and was thus banned. During this scuffle, Drug was also permanently muted from PXP Chat.

== Bans ==
Only 4 bans were announced to the PixelPlace Fiscord Server

=== SorryTerror ===
[[SorryTerror]], a former PixelPlace Moderator who tried and failed to close the Discord Server’s Counting Channel, was officially banned for Toxicity and Insulting Admin. They were the first user ban to be announced.

=== Realwdpcker ===
The second ban to be announced was [[Realwdpcker]]’s ban. This user was banned for Repeatedly advertising their site indirectly alongside constant disingenuous behavior and toxicity

=== Renko ===
The third user to be announced as banned was [[Renko]], a former mod and most-followed user on PixelPlace. They were banned solely for toxicity.

=== SalX ===
[[SalX]], the operator of the Discord server’s first Daily Series and a veteran of the [[April 2025 Mexico War]] that happpened just seven months prior, was the fourth person to be announced as banned, being banned for the reasons of Toxicity and Insults

=== LVintageNerd ===
The last announced ban, LVintageNerd was a member of a Support Group for SorryTerror and Realwdpcker, which wound up getting them banned, and was one of the ban reasons, alongside toxicity.

== Aftermath ==
All five users would remain banned for nine months, with Owmince becoming the new most followed player on PixelPlace. These bans would remain until August 30, 2026, when three of the banned users, being Renko, SalX, and LVintageNerd, would get unbanned. SorryTerror and Realwdpcker still both remain banned to this day.
