Moderating a VRChat world

Short answer: a world creator cannot ban anyone from VRChat, but can control what happens inside their own world — who moves, who is heard, and who sees what.

What is actually in your power

VRChat account bans belong to VRChat. What a world can do is act on the player while they are in it:

Action	What it means in a world
Freeze	Movement is taken away, the player stays where they are
Isolate	The player is moved to a separate area, away from everyone else
Mute	Their voice range is reduced to nothing for others in the world
Restore	Their normal movement and voice settings are given back

None of this follows the player out of your world. It ends the moment they leave, which is exactly the right scope for a world tool.

Why roles matter more than buttons

The hard part is not freezing someone. It is deciding who is allowed to.

A moderation panel that anyone can open is worse than none at all. You need at least a separation between the world owner, trusted staff and ordinary visitors — and, in most communities, finer distinctions than that: someone who can mute but not teleport people, a guide who can move visitors but not silence them.

The trap of restoring settings

Freezing a player means overwriting their movement values. Unfreezing means writing values back — and whatever you write back is what they get, not what they had.

This matters because avatars and worlds change movement settings for legitimate reasons. Restoring hard-coded defaults can leave a player with a walk speed they never had. Decide your world’s normal values deliberately, and restore those.

Late joiners see nothing

An important VRChat networking detail: a network event is not replayed for someone who arrives afterwards. If moderation state lives only in events, a player who joins after a freeze sees the frozen player walking normally.

Any tool you rely on has to rebuild its full state from synchronised variables when someone joins — otherwise your moderators and your visitors see different worlds.

Doing it without writing Udon

FOS Tablet System is a tablet a player summons in front of them: a teleport menu, local toggles, the world rules, and a full moderation panel with roles, freeze, isolation, mute and a synchronised log. The restore values are fields you set, not hidden defaults.

Its Pro edition replaces the four fixed roles with as many as your world needs, each with its own permissions, plus per-account roles, per-role visibility and per-role spawn points.

Both are paid packs. They require FOS Essentials Core, FOS Localization and FOS Teleport, which are free.
