Moderation¶
What happens when a rule gets broken
The ladder¶
| Step | Action | Typically triggered by |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Informal nudge in channel | First minor slip, you'll get notified |
| 2 | Formal warning, logged | Repeat of the same slip, or ignoring a moderator |
| 3 | Timeout, minutes to hours | Heated argument or overexcitment that won't cool down |
| 4 | Quarantine | Spam, suspected compromised account. Step into our office. |
| 5 | Kick | Pattern of warnings with no change |
| 6 | Ban | Code of conduct breach, scams, ban evasion |
Steps aren't mandatory stops, and moderators get the final say.
Automatic enforcement¶
Some of this is handled by the bot, with no moderator involved.
| Behaviour | Trigger | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Spam detection | Same message sent 3 or more times | Warns at 3, quarantines at 4, deletes the messages |
| Verification | Joining the server | You must confirm you're not a robot to get the verified role |
| Points | Sending or deleting a message | Adjusts your score — see the leaderboard |
Quarantine isn't a ban
Quarantine removes your verified role and hides the server's channels. It's what happens when the bot or a mod thinks your account is compromised, spamming or annoying. A moderator can release you in seconds once it's sorted.
What moderators can see¶
Message edits and deletions are logged to a staff-only channel, along with name changes, avatar changes, role changes, and joins and leaves. Your deleted messages are already logged.
Staff cannot read your DMs with other members.
Appeals¶
Wait for it to expire, then take it up with the moderator who issued it. If you think they got it wrong, ask another moderator to review.
Rejoin with the invite. A kick isn't a ban — it's a firm request to reset your behaviour. Come back and pick up where you left off, minus the behaviour.
