It is a communication(commo) ban. A less drastic method of punishing a player for typing/microphone abuse. Currently, the only way I can enforce that ban is being in-game with the player and putting an extend communication ban on them. To get unbanned all a person needs find an admin in-game who will unban them and then apply a communication ban. The player would be able to play, but not able to type or use their microphone until the ban expires.
I would recommend that they join the steam war-lords.net group if they need help finding an admin. I know if they message me I would be more than willing to assist.

Not to worry, in the future they will be able to receive remote communication ban.
