Configuration

Customize your moderation setup with these settings:

  • Enabled - Toggle the moderation system
  • Log Channel - Channel where all moderation actions are logged
  • Mod Roles - Roles that can use moderation commands
  • Kick Roles - Roles that can kick users
  • Ban Roles - Roles that can ban users
  • Timeout Roles - Roles that can timeout users
  • Warn Roles - Roles that can warn users
  • Modlogs Show Moderator Channels — Channels where the acting moderator’s name is included in modlog embeds. Moderator names are always hidden in shared (cross-server) modlogs regardless of this setting.

Integration

  2. Always provide detailed and specific reasons for actions
  3. Regularly review moderation cases and statistics
  4. Use role persistence for users with important roles
  5. Use /modstats to monitor moderator performance
  6. Document patterns and trends for improvement
  7. Maintain consistent enforcement of server rules
