Add Noxyr — Automate ModerationFrequently Asked Questions
A Discord Timeout is the native, built-in feature that prevents a member from sending messages, adding reactions, or joining voice channels across the entire server for a set period. A "mute" in older bots typically only revoked the Send Messages permission in text channels. Timeouts are the modern, preferred approach — they're enforced by Discord itself and cannot be bypassed by rejoining voice channels or using a different channel.
Create a private #mod-log channel visible only to staff. Log every action with: member name and ID, the offense, the action taken, the date, and which moderator took action. Noxyr automatically logs moderation actions when you use its commands, saving you from manual documentation. A complete log protects your server if you face disputes or ban appeals.
Yes — consistent escalation is both fair and legally protective. A clear path (warning → timeout → kick → ban) means every member receives equal treatment regardless of who moderates them. It also protects your server: if a banned member disputes their removal, documented progressive discipline shows the ban was justified. Exceptions apply for severe first offenses like sharing malware, doxxing, or CSAM — these warrant immediate permanent bans.
