Command list

/setup

Creates the Quarantined role and a private bastion-logs channel, then checks Bastion's role position and permissions. Safe to run again at any time: it hides every channel from the Quarantined role again. Needs the owner, a trusted person or an Administrator. See the setup guide.

/status

Shows your security score and a list of anything that needs fixing.

/help

Lists the commands with a short description of each.

/privacy

Tells you, privately, what Bastion stores about you and how to see it or have it erased. Anyone can use it. See privacy and data.

/warn

Gives a member a formal warning. A reason is required. Enough warnings trigger your warn steps. Add points, from 1 to 20, to make a serious warning count for more. Left out, it's worth your server's default, which is 1. Bots can't be warned. See moderation.

/warnings list

Shows how many of a member's warnings still count, what they add up to in points if that's different, and their 10 most recent. Closed and expired warnings are marked.

/warnings clear

Closes every open warning a member has, after you press the button to confirm. The warnings stay on record but stop counting towards warn steps. A moderator can't close warnings that Bastion, the owner or a trusted person gave, and nobody can clear their own.

/timeout

Stops a member sending messages or joining voice for a set time. Write the length like 10m, 2h or 7d. A plain number means minutes. Leave it out and your server's default is used, which is 60 minutes unless you changed it. Discord allows up to 28 days. Each moderator can time out 10 people a minute, explained below.

/untimeout

Ends a timeout early. A moderator can't end a timeout that Bastion, the owner or a trusted person placed. That includes Automod timeouts. Only the owner and trusted people can end those.

/kick

Removes a member from the server. They can join again with an invite. If your server has Ask before banning or kicking on, you press Confirm first. Counts towards the moderator's kick limit, explained below.

/ban

Removes a member and stops them rejoining. It also works on someone who has already left. Add delete_days to delete their messages from the last 0 to 7 days. Left out, your server's default is used, which is 0 unless you changed it. If your server has Ask before banning or kicking on, you press Confirm first. Counts towards the moderator's ban limit, explained below.

/ban with a length

Add duration to make the ban temporary, from 1 minute to 365 days. Write it like 12h, 7d or 2w. Bastion lifts the ban by itself when the time is up and files the unban as a case. The end time is saved, so a restart doesn't lose it, and it's shown to the member in their message. To ban someone who isn't in the server, paste their user ID into user. A temporary ban can't be placed on someone who is already banned: unban them first. Running /unban cancels the timer, and so does banning them again without a length.

/softban

Bans a member and unbans them straight away, which removes them and deletes their messages from the last 1 to 7 days. They can join again with an invite. Counts towards the moderator's kick limit.

/alts

Shows who else verified from the same device or connection as a member in the last 90 days. Only you can see the answer. It names the matched members and why, never an address. Needs the same permission as /kick, and Pro with second account detection on. See web check, alts and VPNs.

/unban

Lifts a ban. Use the person's user ID, since they're no longer in the server. A moderator can't lift a ban that Bastion, the owner or a trusted person placed. Only the owner and trusted people can lift those.

/purge

Deletes up to 1000 recent messages in the current channel, 100 at a time, and tells you how far it has got. Above 100 it asks you to confirm first. Pinned messages are always kept. Discord doesn't let bots bulk delete messages more than 14 days old, so those are left and Bastion tells you how many there were. Each moderator can run it 5 times a minute and delete 2000 messages in 10 minutes.

/purge with filters

Narrow it down with any of these, and only messages that pass all of them are deleted. user and role pick whose messages. from picks bots only or people only. links, attachments, embeds and mentions pick messages that have one. contains and starts_with look for text. before and after take a message ID or message link from the same channel.

/nick clean

Swaps a name nobody can read or mention for a readable one. Fancy fonts become ordinary letters, stacked marks and invisible characters go, and so does punctuation put at the front to top the member list. If nothing readable is left, the member becomes Member and four digits. Bastion needs the Manage Nicknames permission and a role above theirs.

/slowmode

Sets how long members must wait between messages in the current channel, from 0 to 21600 seconds. Set it to 0 to switch slowmode off.

/quarantine add

Removes all of a member's roles and gives them the Quarantined role, which sees nothing. Their roles are saved. A bot is kicked instead. Counts towards the moderator's kick limit. See quarantine.

/quarantine remove

Releases a member and gives their saved roles back.

/case view

Shows one case by its number, with whether it's closed and what its reason said before any edits.

/case edit

Changes a case's reason. The old reason is kept in the case's history with who changed it and when. A moderator can't edit a case about themselves, or one filed by Bastion, the owner or a trusted person.

/case close

Closes a case. A closed warning stays on record but no longer counts towards warn steps. /case reopen undoes it.

/info user

Shows when a member joined and made their account, how many roles they have, the warnings that count, their number of cases, whether they're quarantined, and anything Bastion has flagged such as a temporary ban, an appeal block or a very new account.

/info server

Shows the member count and a short summary of what Bastion is doing: your plan, what's switched on, what's locked, and how many people are quarantined or temporarily banned.

/premium

Shows whether this server has Bastion Pro. On a free server it shows what Pro adds, the price, and buttons to get it or earn it by voting. On a Pro server it shows how long it runs. Only you see the answer.

/cases

Shows a member's 10 most recent cases, including things Bastion did automatically.

/note add

Adds a private staff note about a member, up to 500 characters. The member isn't told. Each member can have up to 50 notes.

/note list

Shows the 10 newest staff notes for a member, each with a six character ID.

/note edit

Changes one of your own notes. Give the ID from /note list. The owner and trusted people can change anyone's.

/note delete

Deletes one of your own notes. The owner and trusted people can delete anyone's.

/cleanup quarantined

Kicks or bans everyone who is quarantined. A ban also covers people who left while quarantined.

/cleanup recent

Kicks or bans everyone who joined in the last few minutes, up to 60. Anyone with a role beyond your verified role is left alone, and so are bots, the owner and trusted people. At most 500 at a time.

/raid last

Shows the most recent raid report from the last 30 days, with its ID and a link to the full report on the dashboard.

/raid cleanup

Kicks, bans or unbans the accounts Bastion flagged in one raid, after you press the button to confirm. Give the raid's ID from /raid last. Owner and trusted people only. Set scope to everyone who joined during the raid to cover accounts Bastion did not flag as well: only the server's owner on Discord can, and Bastion says how many of them it did not flag before you confirm. It won't run while the raid is still going.

/allow

Lets one account past the Join Gate and the raid action the next time it joins. Give the account's user ID. The pass works once and runs out after 24 hours.

/honeypot create

Makes a do-not-post-here channel and switches the honeypot on. An account that posts there is treated as hacked or a spam bot.

/pin set

Sets your own staff PIN, or changes it. A form opens that only you can see.

/pin reset

Clears a moderator's PIN and any lockout, so they can set a new one. For the owner and trusted people. Nobody can reset their own.

/pin approve

Makes a moderator's new PIN work now. Without it, a first PIN starts working 24 hours after it is set. For the owner and trusted people. Nobody can approve their own.

/recovery status

Says whether a recovery key is set, whether anyone is waiting to use it, and who the recovery owner is. It never shows the key. For the owner, the recovery owner and trusted people.

/recovery remove

Removes the recovery owner, so only the server's owner on Discord counts as the owner in Bastion again. Only the real Discord owner can run it.

/appeals unblock

Undoes Deny and block, so the person can send an appeal to your server again. Give their user ID. It doesn't lift their ban or timeout. Needs the owner, a trusted person or an Administrator. See appeals.

/lockdown start

Stops everyone sending messages in every channel Bastion can edit. The reason is optional. Needs the owner, a trusted person or an Administrator. See lockdown.

/lockdown update

Posts a short update in the server-locked channel during a lockdown that has one. Links, mentions and formatting are taken out. One update every 10 seconds.

/lockdown end

Ends everything at once: channels are put back the way they were, roles get their permissions back and people can join again. While a server-wide lockdown is running it needs the owner, a trusted person or an Administrator. If only single channels are locked, Manage Server is enough.

/lockdown channel

Locks the channel you run it in and leaves the others alone. Run it there again to unlock. It takes no options. Manage Server is enough.

/lockdown joins

Turns away everyone who joins. Choose kick or ban, or off to let people in again. Bots that are added are kicked too, unless the owner or a trusted person added them. Needs the owner, a trusted person or an Administrator.

/lockdown roles

Pro. Staff power lockdown. Takes dangerous permissions off every ordinary role below Bastion until you run /lockdown end. Needs the owner, a trusted person or an Administrator.

/verification setup

Posts the Verify button in a channel, sets the role members get when they pass, and switches Verification on. You can leave an option out if it's already chosen in the dashboard. The role must be a plain member role: Bastion refuses @everyone, a bot's role, a role with powerful permissions and a role above its own. Needs the owner, a trusted person or an Administrator. See verification.

/backup create

Saves a copy of your roles, channels and permissions now. It takes no options. You can keep up to 10 manual backups. See backups.

/backup list

Shows your saved backups, newest first, each with a number.

/backup restore

Recreates roles and channels that are missing compared with a backup. Nothing you have now is deleted or changed. Give the number from /backup list, or leave it empty for the newest. You confirm with a button.

/backup delete

Removes a saved backup for good. Give the number from /backup list.
