Moderation commands with a mod log and case history

Ban, kick, timeout, warn, purge, lock, slowmode and jail, each recorded as a case.

Modu's bot gives your moderators the commands they expect: ban and unban, kick, timeout, warnings, purging messages, locking a channel, slowmode and a jail that takes a member's roles away until they are released. A member who leaves and rejoins while jailed goes straight back to jail.

Every action is recorded as a numbered case and can be posted to a mod log channel, so the team can see who did what and why. Commands check the moderator's own Discord permissions, so nobody can use the bot to do more than Discord already lets them.

Perm roles hand out single permissions without making someone staff: a Pic Perms role for images, Link Perms for links, and roles for soundboard, nicknames, emojis and stickers, each with its own command.

Temporary roles are taken back automatically: .temprole @member Event 7d gives a role for a week, for events, trials or restrictions. Giving it again moves the end time, and .temprole list shows every one running.

What you get

Ban, unban, kick, timeout, warn and warnings history
Purge messages, lock and unlock channels, slowmode
Jail that survives leaving and rejoining
Numbered cases and a mod log channel
Perm roles for images, links, soundboard, nicknames, emojis and stickers

Set it up by asking

Connect your server, open a chat and describe what you want. For example:

“Set up moderation with a mod log channel for my staff”
“Create a jail role and a jail channel only jailed members can see”
“Give the Verified role permission to post images and links”

Questions

What is a good Discord moderation bot?

Modu covers the standard moderation commands (ban, kick, timeout, warn, purge, lock, slowmode, jail) with a mod log and case history, and adds automod, anti-raid and an AI agent that sets it all up from a chat.

Can moderators use the bot to do more than their role allows?

No. Every command checks the moderator's own Discord permissions (Ban Members for .ban, and so on) before it runs.

What is a jail in Discord?

A jail role takes a member's other roles away and limits them to one channel until a moderator releases them. Modu restores their roles on .unjail and re-jails them if they leave and rejoin.

Moderation commands is included in every paid plan. Compare plans, read how Modu works or continue with Discord.
