Thanks Everyone.

When you ban someone, save it to a DataStore with the time they were banned (os.clock) and the length of days (in seconds). Then have a server script constantly check the amount of seconds that have passed until it equals the amount of days in seconds.

Can you give me an example of How I should check the time

4 
local function banUser(user, started, length)
   -- stuff stuff and more stuff
   DataStore:SetAsync(user.UserId, {start = started, length = length}) 
   -- this saves a data store with a table that includes the ban information
   -- in order for them to be kicked, you would have to do that on your own
end

local function getUser(user)
   return DataStore:GetAsync(user.UserId) -- get the DataStore information
end

local function removeUser(user)
    DataStore:RemoveAsync(user.UserId) -- delete their data store info
end

banUser(player, os.clock(), 86400) -- ban user for 1 day

while wait(360) do -- every 6 minutes, check this
   local info = getUser(player) -- get the player's data store information

   if (os.clock() - info.start) >= info.length then -- checks if the seconds that have passed is greater than the length of the ban
     removeUser(player) -- unban them
   end
end

This code is just for an example
