The new Spider dashboard is here

Since Spider launched, the dashboard has grown a lot: every new module added a menu entry, and finding the right setting became hard. We rebuilt it around one simple idea: you should see at a glance what needs your attention, and find any setting in seconds.

A Home page that guides you

The server Home now shows three useful blocks. What’s left to set up lists the essential modules still disabled (automoderation, moderation logs, sanctions, verification, anti-raid) with a Configure button, then disappears once everything is ready. To handle counts pending appeals, applications and tickets. Latest infractions shows your team’s recent decisions.

A menu organised by theme

The left menu is now split into six collapsible categories: Main, Settings, Moderation, Protection, Community, and Support and team. Spider remembers which categories you open or close, and the one for the current page always stays visible.

• Fewer entries: related pages are grouped into tabs. Automoderation brings together Rules, Alerts and Nicknames; Sanctions brings together tiers and Strikes; Logs brings together Events and Moderation.
• Badges: an indigo counter appears next to Appeals, Applications and Tickets when something is waiting for an answer.
• Simple mode: a button at the bottom of the menu hides modules you are not using yet.

Find everything with Ctrl+K

Press Ctrl+K (Cmd+K on Mac) from any page: search suggests matching pages, settings and members. It is also the fastest way to reach pages that are not in the menu, such as Levels or Interactive onboarding.

Calmer pages

Rarely used options are tucked behind “More options”, headings are more compact and a small “?” next to the title explains the page in one sentence. The result: less scrolling, with the important settings kept at the top.
