Moderation

Every punishment writes a numbered case to a persistent case book, DMs the target (and tells you whether that DM landed), and posts an entry to the log channel.

Core commands

Command	What it does	Needs
`/ban <member> [reason]`	Ban and record a case	Ban Members
`/kick <member> [reason]`	Kick and record a case	Kick Members
`/mute <member> [duration]`	Apply the Muted role, 5 minutes by default	Moderate Members + `/setup mute`
`/unmute <member>`	Remove the Muted role	Moderate Members
`/untimeout <member>`	End a timeout early	Moderate Members
`/imagemute <member> [duration]`	Apply Image Muted — no uploads, no link embeds	Moderate Members + `/setup mute`
`/jail <member> [duration]`	Move to `#jail`, 1 hour by default	Manage Roles + `/setup jail`
`/unjail <member>`	Release early	Manage Roles
`/warn <member> [reason]`	Warn with a case entry	Moderate Members
`/clearwarns <member>`	Clear active warnings, keep the history	Moderate Members
`/purge <count>`	Bulk delete	Manage Messages
`/threadlock [thread] [reason]`	Lock a thread so only moderators can post	Manage Threads

The `/mod` group

/mod unban <user> [reason]
/mod softban <member> [reason]
/mod banlist
/mod warnings <member>
/mod delwarn <id>
/mod case <id>
/mod modlogs <member>
/mod nickname <member> <name>

softban bans and immediately unbans to clear recent messages. modlogs lists every case touching a member, and case opens one case with its reason, moderator and timestamp.

Bulk cleanup

The “all” variants scrub the whole server and always ask for confirmation first:

/mod unban user:all
/unmute member:all
/untimeout member:all

Purge filters

Slash:

/purge 100 user:@member
/purge 50 bots:true
/purge 200 contains:"free nitro"

Prefix:

,purge 50 --user @member --contains "free nitro" --bots --attachments
,ban @member --delete-days 7
,softban @member --delete-days 1

Channel control

Command	Effect
`/channel lock`	Deny `Send Messages` for `@everyone`
`/channel unlock`	Restore it
`/channel slowmode <seconds>`	Set slowmode
`/channel nuke`	Recreate the channel, wiping its history

Prefix twins

Every essential moderation action has a prefix form, because raids don’t wait for an interaction: ,ban, ,unban, ,softban, ,kick, ,mute, ,unmute, ,jail, ,unjail, ,warn, ,clearwarns, ,purge, ,slowmode, ,nickname, ,untimeout, and ,threadlock (,tl).

Discord only lets a bot act on members below its own highest role. If a command fails while the bot has the permission, move Criminal’s role up in Server Settings → Roles.

Reactions worth knowing

Any message containing a standalone y/n prompt automatically gets 👍 and 👎; v/s gets ⬅️ and ➡️. That makes impromptu votes work without a poll command.
