Moderation

Warnings that add up, cases, timeouts, bans - and how they work together with the anti-nuke.

Moderation, the anti-nuke, the scam filter and the tripwire are one system. They write into the same record and read from it: a scam counts as a warning, warnings decide who may be given power, and everything ends up as a numbered case in one log.

How the pieces work together

When	What happens
`A moderator warns somebody`	Warning added, case logged, and the automatic punishment runs if a threshold is reached.
`The scam filter catches somebody`	Message deleted, one-hour timeout, and it counts as a warning - so the third scam is handled like the third warning.
`A tripwire catches somebody`	Softban, case logged, a softban entry in their history, and they are flagged on other servers.
`The anti-nuke stops somebody`	Punished and reversed, case logged, an Anti-Nuke entry in their history.
`Somebody with 3 or more warnings is given a dangerous role`	The role is taken back at once and logged. Nobody this server warned three times gets power over it.

Warnings

A warning is a note attached to a member that other moderators can see. The point is the count: the third one tells you something the first could not.

Command	What it does
`/warn add`	Warn somebody, with a reason. The reason is what the next moderator reads, so write it for them.
`/warn view`	Everything on one member, oldest first - warnings, bans, scams, tripwire catches and anti-nuke actions.
`/warn list`	Who has the most, across the server.
`/warn remove`	Take one off. For the warning that turned out to be wrong.
`/warn clear`	Take all of them off one member. For a fresh start.

.warn @someone Third time posting links in #general

Automatic punishment

Warnings	What happens
`3`	Timeout for 1 hour
`4`	Timeout for 12 hours
`5`	Timeout for 24 hours - the last step before a ban
`6 or more`	Ban

The highest step reached applies, not only an exact count. Somebody who goes from two warnings to seven in one go is banned, not skipped.

Cases

Every action against a member gets a number - Case #1, #2, #3 - per server, and is posted in the moderation log channel (set with /setup_autologs, or in the dashboard). If there is no moderation log, it goes to the anti-nuke log instead. Each case says who, why, by whom, and how many warnings they have now.

Command	What it does
`/case list`	The 15 newest cases on the server. Pick a member to see only theirs, with their warning count.
`/case view`	One case in full, by its number.

The dashboard has the same record under Cases & warnings: the newest cases, who has the most warnings, and how the pieces fit together.

Timeouts, kicks and bans

Command	What it does	When
`.timeout`	Discord's own mute. They stay in the server and cannot talk or join voice. Also .mute.	Almost always the right first action.
`.untimeout`	Ends it early. Also .unmute.	When they have read the rules, or when you were wrong.
`/kick`	Removes them. They can return with an invite.	Rarely useful on its own.
`/ban`	Removes them and keeps them out. Their warning history is kept.	When you have decided.
`/unban`	Lets them back in.	Needs their user ID.

A timeout is capped at 28 days by Discord, not by Arklynn. For longer than that you want a ban.

Channel controls

Command	What it does
`.lock`	Stops everybody who is not staff from sending messages in a channel.
`.unlock`	Opens it again.
`.slowmode`	One message every N seconds. Also .sm. Slows a flood without stopping a conversation.

.slowmode 10
