Steam Store description

It's 2007. You're an unpaid moderator on a dying internet forum. Inspired by Papers, Please , Permaban is a forum moderation game about interpreting rules, making judgment calls, and dealing with people who hate your decisions. A user wants to know who has the leaked build. Someone found the admin's old profile page and is asking whether to post it. A member since day one says the new rules are garbage, in those words. The spam bot might actually be a real person. Every ban needs a rule citation, and every tool has its own price. Moderate too hard and the regulars stop posting. Moderate too soft and the board drowns in raids, scams and flame wars. Nothing in a shift is on a clock. No timer, no post that rots if you leave it. The queue waits while you decide. Between shifts, the people you banned come back to argue, the other mods ask for favours and remember your answer, and the admins rewrite the rulebook under you. And the forum is only one window. The machine boots cold, POST beep and all, into a desktop you can actually use: a browser, a media player with a real playlist, a paint program, and if you open the wrong file, an archiver that will not stop asking you to buy it. Almost none of it is required, and almost all of it is hiding something. Numbers the calculator was never meant to take. Archives nobody asked you to open. A Flash game portal that one night becomes the job. The forum is where you work. The desktop is where the game keeps its secrets. Features Moderate forum posts Ban, warn, censor, investigate, scan a link, lock the thread, IP ban, or nuke. O…

Content descriptors

Permaban is a forum moderator simulator set in 2007. Players read and moderate fictional user posts that include mild profanity and insults, online threats and harassment, doxxing scenarios, references to hacking, phishing and software piracy, and posts that reference internet shock sites by name. Those posts carry abstract, distorted placeholder graphics; no explicit imagery appears at any point. All of this content is text the player has to identify and remove. That is the core gameplay loop.
