Moderation settings

Dexy posts every case here: who, what, why and for how long. When a case changes (a new reason, a timeout ending, a warn revoked) Dexy edits its post.

Dexy needs to see the channel and send messages and embeds there. Empty: cases are only kept in the case log.

Whether Dexy tells members what happened, in a DM: before a kick or ban (so they still share a server), and on a warn or timeout.

• On — members get a DM with the server, the action, the reason, when it ends (or a warning's points and expiry), your appeal text and the case number
• Off — no DMs; --silent does the same for one action

Some members don't accept DMs. That never stops the action: the case says whether the DM arrived.

Added to the DMs about warnings, timeouts, kicks and bans, so people know where to ask for a second chance: a form, an email or a server. When appeals are open for that kind of case, a link to the appeal page follows it.

Up to 300 characters. Empty adds nothing.

Make moderators give a reason with every action, on the dashboard and in commands.

• On — an action without a reason is refused
• Off — reasons are optional (they can be added later)

Reasons also go to DiscordFluxer's audit log, cut at 512 characters.

Delete the moderator's command message once it worked, so channels stay tidy and the action is less public.

Needs Dexy to have Manage Messages in the channel. The case and mod-log post stay.

How much of a banned member's recent messages a ban deletes when the moderator doesn't say.

• None — messages stay
• 1 hour / 1 day / 7 days — messages they sent in that time go, in every channel

DiscordFluxer can delete at most 7 days. --delete 1h|1d|7d on a ban picks for that ban only.

Warnings stop counting towards the escalation ladder after this long. They stay in the case log.

0 means warnings never expire. Changing it applies to old warnings too.

What Dexy does by itself when a warning takes a member's active points to a step, or past it.

• Timeout — they can't talk, react or join voice for a while
• Kick — they're removed and can join again with an invite
• Temporary ban — they're banned for a while, then can come back
• Ban — they're banned until someone unbans them

A step fires only when a warning crosses it on the way up, once. If one warning crosses several steps, the highest one fires. The automatic action is its own case, linked to the warning.

Ready-made warnings for your rules: a name, the points it's worth and the reason. Moderators pick one instead of typing.

In chat: warn @member <preset name>. Up to 10 presets.

Members with one of these roles can't be warned, timed out, kicked or banned by moderators, in chat or here. Auto-mod leaves them alone too.

Dexy admins still can: the owner, Administrators, the Dexy admin role and Manage Server where it counts. The owner is always protected. In chat: modset protect add @role.

The channels lock server and a lockdown (by hand or after a raid) lock. A category stands for the text channels in it.

• None picked — every text channel is locked
• Some picked — only those, so rules and announcements stay readable and writable as you set them

Unlocking puts each channel back as it was. In chat: modset lockdown add #channel.

Whether Dexy's reply after an action, in the channel where it was used, shows the reason (a Reason line in the reply's embed). Turn it off when actions happen in public channels.

The reason is still kept in the case, the mod log and the member's DM. Custom responses show it wherever they have {reason}.

Your own words for the reply after an action. They become the text of Dexy's reply embed: its title, the details (reason, points, duration, whether the DM arrived) and the case number stay around them. Empty: Dexy's own text.

• {user} — their name
• {user.mention} — a mention (nobody is pinged)
• {moderator} — who did it
• {reason} — the reason, or “no reason given”
• {duration} — how long, empty when the action has none
• {case} — the case number

Up to 300 characters each. When your text has {reason}, the separate Reason line is left out. The DM to the member stays the same. In chat: modset response ban <text>.

How Dexy answers in the channel after every action: warnings, timeouts, bans, roles, notes, purges, locks, slowmode and reason changes.

• Compact — a small embed with one line: what happened, to whom, the points or length and the reason; the case number below
• Detailed — the full embed: a title, then the reason, points, total, expiry, whether the DM arrived and the ladder step
• Text — the same line as plain text, ending with the case number; mentions never ping
• Reaction — no reply: Dexy reacts ✅ to your command

Errors and refusals always reply. Reaction: with Delete the command message on there's nothing to react to, so Dexy answers with the text line; a ladder step that failed is said in a line too. Custom replies still apply in every style, and the reason follows Show the reason. In chat: modset style reply text.

How the DM a member gets about a warning, timeout, kick or ban looks. Appeal decisions and the ladder's automatic actions use it too.

• Compact — two or three lines: what happened and where, the reason, then the case, the appeal link and when it ends
• Detailed — a heading, the reason, the points or length with dates, what it means for them, your appeal text and link
• Embed — a small embed with your server's name and icon, the reason and a few details
• Components V2 (Discord) — the Embed version as one Components V2 card

DM members turns them on or off. Your appeal text is added in every style. In chat: modset style dm embed.

How each case looks in the mod log channel.

• Detailed — a card per case: member, moderator, reason, length or points, status and appeal
• Compact — one line per case: the type, member, moderator, points or length, reason and case number
• Components V2 (Discord) — the detailed card as one Components V2 card, with its buttons inside it

Either way the post is edited when the case changes (a new reason, an expiry, a revoke), in the style picked now. In chat: modset style log compact.
