Moderation

The required permissions

For you. Each command requires a Fluxer permission (listed in its card). Without it, the bot replies "You need the … permission" for 5 seconds.

For the bot. Dispatch.IO needs the same permission as you, plus its basic permissions in the channel: View channel, Send messages, Embed links and Manage messages (to delete its temporary replies). For !timeout, !kick and !ban, the bot's role must also be placed above the targeted member's.

The sanctions log channel

To keep track of every sanction, pick a channel for the Moderation & sanctions category on the dashboard's Logs settings page (see Logs settings). Without that channel, sanctions work, but no log is posted.

Writing a sanction command

• The member is given by mention (@Alex) or by ID.
• The reason is all the text that follows: !warn @Alex Spam in #general.
• Durations are written 30s, 10m, 2h, 7d, 1w.

Before applying a sanction, Dispatch.IO checks the target. If a rule blocks, the bot replies with an explanation (for example "Only the owner or an administrator can warn a moderator.") and nothing is applied or recorded.

✔ = the rule applies · — = no check for this command. "Above" follows Fluxer's rule: at an equal position, the older role wins (see Permissions and roles).

1. The infraction is recorded in the member's history (see Viewing and deleting infractions).
2. The member gets a direct message with the sanction, the reason, the moderator and the community's name, with the moderation banner. It is sent before the sanction, so the member can still receive it. If their DMs are closed, the sanction applies anyway.
3. The confirmation shows in the channel where you ran the command.
4. A log is posted in the Moderation & sanctions channel: sanction type, moderator, targeted member and reason, with the date.

Deleting an infraction. The owner and members with Administrator also get, by direct message, the link to a website form listing the infractions: pick the one to delete and submit. An Infraction deleted log is posted. The link is valid for 15 minutes.

Moderators can also sanction a ticket's author from the ticket's space on the dashboard (the ticket's moderation panel, see Tickets). The bot applies the sanction exactly as with a command: direct message, infraction and Sanction from the dashboard log.
