What does UNBAN mean in Scrabble?
verb
informal
To lift a ban that had previously been placed on a person, account, or activity, allowing it again.
Online communities use unban constantly when a moderator reverses an earlier decision to block a user from a forum, game, or social media account, restoring the person's access. The word barely existed in print before the internet made banning and unbanning a routine part of managing online spaces, so most dictionaries still treat it as informal. Outside online contexts, unban can describe lifting any formal prohibition, though lift a ban remains more common phrasing there.
