Moderation
Moderate your server with a set of powerful commands!
The Moderation module allows you to setup a highly customizable moderation system you can create for your server, with warnings, timeouts, auto-punishments and more features.
Common Issues
Experiencing issues with the module? Check out the common issues below. If your issue is not listed in this page, make sure your module is updated to the latest version. If you are still experiencing issues with the module, join our support server to ask for further help.
It is advised that you Enable Moderation Logging to make sure you can see details about possible errors.
Roles not being added / removed
If the /role add, /role remove or /role temp commands are not working, it is likely because the role that you are trying to add or remove is above the bot's role in your server settings. The steps below will most likely solve your issue:
Make sure your bot has the administrator permission in your server. You can check this by looking at the permissions from your bot's role.
Make sure the bot's role is at the top of the role list. If this is not the case, drag the role to the top.
If you're still experiencing issues, join our support server to ask for further help, we'll do our best to solve your issue!
Users not being muted, kicked or banned
If the /mute add, /kick, /ban add or /ban temp command is not working, it is likely because the role of the target user is higher than the role from the bot. You are likely to solve this with the steps below:
Make sure your bot has the administrator permission in your server. You can check this by looking at the permissions from your bot's role.
Make sure the bot's role is at the top of the role list. If this is not the case, drag the role to the top.
