Moderator Quick Reference

Everything here assumes level 50 (moderator). Durations look like 30m, 2h, 3d. Reasons are optional everywhere and worth writing anyway - they end up in the infraction record, the mod log, and any DM the target gets.

The daily five

Command	Use
!warn @user reason	On-the-record warning (optionally DMs them)
!mute @user 2h reason	Timed mute; expires on its own. Leave the duration off for an open-ended mute
!timeout @user 1h reason	Discord-native timeout, no mute role needed
!kick @user reason	Remove; they can rejoin
!tempban @user 3d reason	Timed ban; expires on its own

Prefer the temp variants: an expiring punishment cannot be forgotten.

Working with records

• !infractions search @user - their history; every entry has a number.
• !infractions info <id> - one record in full.
• !infractions reason <id> new reason - fix a reason after the fact.
• !infractions duration <id> 1d - adjust a timed action.
• !note @user text - a note on the record without punishing.

Variants worth knowing

Append dm / quiet / anon to punitive commands to force a DM, skip it, or DM without naming you. To clear a spammer's recent posts as you ban them, use !cleanban @user 7 reason - the number is how many days of their messages to delete, up to 7. On a plain !ban, a duration at the start of the reason turns it into a temp ban instead: !ban @user 2h spam bans for two hours.

Cleanup

Purge commands produce a web archive of what was deleted, linked in the mod log - so cleanup never destroys evidence.

Habits that pay off

• Reasons, always. Future-you (and the appeal reviewer) will thank you.
• Escalate through the record: warn → mute → ban reads as fair process.
• Check !infractions search before punishing; patterns change decisions.
