Miscellaneous tools for moderators.

Various tools for moderators to help them in their day-to-day! Some commands depend on the ModNotes module.

1. report

Report an incident to the moderators confidentially.

Please remember to mention who is involved and where it’s happening (i.e. the channel). Your name and the time at which you sent your report are automatically recorded.

Usage: .report <text>

Parameters

<text>
string. The text you want to send the mod team. Make sure to mention the who and where (channel).

Channels
PM only.

Example

  • .report There's a heated discussion about politics in #worldbuilding, mostly between BlitheringIdiot and AggressiveDebater, that might need a mod to intervene.

2. up

4. say

Make the bot say something in a channel. If the reminders cog is enabled, you can also schedule a message at a later time with saylater.

If the bot has pin permissions, prepending pin: to the beginning of the message will allow it to auto-pin the message.

Usage: .say <channel> <message>

Parameters

<channel>
string. The channel to say the message in.
<message>
string. The message to say. This will be copied exactly. This includes any formatting, @mentions, commands that OTHER bots might react to, and @everyone/@here (if the bot is allowed to use them).

  • .say #meta pin: REMEMBER TO KEEP HYDRATED. - Says the message in the #meta channel and pin it.

5. whois

Finds a Discord user from their ID, name, or name with discriminator. If modnotes is enabled, will also search the name and alias fields of modnotes users.

If an exact match isn’t found, then this tool will do a substring search on all visible users’ names and nicknames.

Usage: .whois <user>

Parameters

<user>
string. An ID number, name, name with discriminator, etc. of a user to find. If this contains spaces, use quotation marks.
