/Sounds like "bah" (as in "bar") + "NEH" (as in "net") + "oh" (as in "oh")/

Meaning

A ban or block of your account on a platform, game, or online community as punishment for breaking the rules. A baneo can be temporary (days or weeks) or permanent depending on the offense. The digital punishment everyone dreads: you get kicked out and, in serious cases, there is no coming back.

Examples

Le dieron un baneo de siete días por insultar en el chat.

They gave him a seven-day ban for insulting people in the chat.

Me banearon de la comunidad de Reddit sin ningún aviso previo.
