Manual Moderation Commands

/warn - Issue a Warning

What it does: Records an infraction against the user. Warnings accumulate and can trigger automatic escalation policies. Each warning is tracked and visible in the moderation log.

Example: /warn @john Spamming in #general - first offense

User notification: DM with reason and warning count

Permissions required: Warn users

/timeout - Apply Discord Timeout

What it does: Uses Discord's native timeout feature. User cannot send messages, reply, react, or connect to voice channels. Timeout prevents all interaction with the server.

Duration: 1 minute to 28 days. See Duration Format Reference below.

Examples:

• • /timeout @john 5m Disruptive behavior
• • /timeout @jane 1h Excessive mention spam
• • /timeout @bob 1d Harassment and toxicity

Note: Cannot be extended - you must remove and reapply for longer durations.

Permissions required: Timeout users

/untimeout - Remove Timeout

What it does: Removes an active Discord timeout before the duration expires. User regains full server access immediately.

Example: /untimeout @john Timeout ended - user has cooled off

When to use: Early removal after user demonstrates understanding or improved behavior

Permissions required: Manage timeouts

/mute - Temporarily Mute User

What it does: Assigns a mute role preventing text message sending. User can still read channels, view pins, and receive updates. More flexible than timeout - can have custom duration and per-channel overrides.

Example: /mute @john 30m Arguing with moderators

When to use: Medium-severity violations requiring cooldown. More reversible than timeout.

Permissions required: Mute users

/unmute - Remove Mute

What it does: Removes the mute role and restores user's ability to send messages.

Example: /unmute @john Mute period ended

Permissions required: Manage mutes

What's the difference between timeout and mute?

Timeout: Discord-native, visible in profile, max 28 days, prevents all interaction.Mute: Role-based, no time limit, customizable per-channel, more flexible. Use timeout for quick enforcement, mute for nuance.

Can I revert a ban?

Yes. Use /unban with the user's ID. Document your reason in the command - it appears in the audit log. You can also set temporary bans with /ban @user 30d.

Can I purge older messages?

Only messages under 14 days old can be bulk purged (Discord limit). For older messages, manually delete or use /ban with purge-days parameter.

Do users know when they're moderated?

Yes. Warn, timeout, mute, kick, and ban all send DM notifications with reason and next steps. This is configurable in dashboard security settings.

How do I find a user's ID?

Enable Discord Developer Mode (Settings → Advanced → Developer Mode), then right-click any user and select "Copy User ID".
