The Sanction approval page: roles concerned, request channel and pending requestsOriginal image

Step by step

1. 1

   Open Moderation › Sanction approval and turn the module on.

2. 2

   Choose the roles that need approval and the staff channel where requests arrive.

3. 3

   Choose the sanctions concerned: ban, kick, mute.

How it works

When a moderator concerned bans or kicks, with a command, the right-click menu, the console or the dashboard, Spider applies nothing: it posts the request in the staff channel with the member, the reason and the duration. Another moderator clicks Approve to apply it, or Refuse with a reason if they want. The moderator who asked is told the decision.

Who can approve

Nobody can approve their own request, nor a moderator who needs approval themselves. They also need the permission to apply the sanction. You can limit approval to some roles. The owner and administrators never need approval and can always decide.

Until the decision

For a ban or kick, the member can be muted until the decision so they do not carry on. Without a decision within the chosen time (1 to 72 hours), the request expires: the member is not sanctioned and the mute is lifted. Every request, approved or not, stays in the page history and in the logs; an approved sanction appears in the member’s infractions with the approver’s name.
