Moderation Setup

ArkenBot's moderation system tracks every action as a numbered case, giving you a full audit trail for every member.

Enabling Moderation​

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Toggle Moderation on

Configuring Log Channels​

Go to Logs and set:

  • Mod Log Channel — Where ban/kick/warn/mute embeds are posted
  • Log Channel — Where message edits, deletes, and member events are posted

How Cases Work​

Every moderation action creates a case with:

  • A sequential case number (per guild)
  • The action type (ban, kick, mute, warn, unban, etc.)
  • The target user
  • The moderator who performed the action
  • A reason (required for warns, optional for others)
  • A timestamp

Look up any case with /case <number>.

Moderation Commands​

See the full Moderation Commands reference.

Temporary Bans​

The /ban command supports an optional duration parameter (e.g. 1d, 12h, 30m). Temporary bans are automatically lifted when they expire — no manual action needed.

DMs on Action​

When you ban, kick, mute, or warn a member, the bot sends them a DM explaining what happened and the reason (if provided). The DM is sent before the action so the user receives it even if banned.

Auto-Mod Integration​

The Auto-Mod system creates moderation cases automatically for automated actions, keeping everything in one unified case history.
