Ban and timeout appeals
Someone who is banned or timed out gets a link, signs in with Discord and explains why it should be lifted. Staff approve or deny with one click.
How appeals workMember reports
Members right-click a message, choose Apps, then Report to moderators. Staff get a post with buttons to delete it, time the author out or dismiss it.
How reports workRight-click actions
Warn, timeout, kick, ban or quarantine from the right-click menu, with a short form first and the same limits as the slash commands.
