Current heat settings and the live temperature

The current heat settings and the live temperature of the server and this channel. Every setting can be changed with /automod set, or with more explanation on the dashboard's Auto-Mod page.

Change heat settings (anything left out stays as it is)

Changes only the options you actually pass; everything else keeps its current value. The full picture, with an explanation of every number, lives on the dashboard's Auto-Mod page. The AI check also needs a GROQ_API_KEY on the host to run; setting use_ai without one stores the choice but nothing is scanned.

Discord AutoMod: run Vela's filters as Discord's own rules

Writes Vela's banned words, the scam link list and the mention limit into Discord's own AutoMod rules, so Discord blocks those messages before they post. Vela still counts every AutoMod hit as heat and logs it. off deletes the rules Vela made; status shows each rule's state. Vela needs the Manage Server permission.

Appeal one of your own cases to the staff team

Files an appeal against one of your own cases. The staff team decides it: from the buttons on the post, /appeals decide, or the dashboard. and you hear the outcome with any staff note. While it waits you can add context with /appeals info or pull it back with /appeals withdraw. An upheld appeal says the team reconsidered; it does not by itself undo a punishment. Deliberately open to everyone: the person punished is usually the person with the least power in the server, and gating appeals behind a role would gate them away from exactly who they exist for.

Your appeals and what the staff decided

Your appeals in this server: what is waiting, what was decided, and any note the staff left with the outcome.

Withdraw one of your pending appeals

Pulls one of your pending appeals back. The staff post is marked withdrawn and the case stands as it was. Decided appeals cannot be withdrawn. They are history now.

Add context to one of your pending appeals

Adds context to one of your pending appeals after the fact: a name you remembered, a screenshot reference, whatever the first message missed. The staff post gains a field, so nobody has to dig. Five follow-ups per appeal.

The staff queue: every appeal waiting for a decision

The staff queue without opening a browser: every appeal waiting for a decision, oldest pressure first. Settle any of them with /appeals decide or the buttons on the appeal post.

Settle an appeal by id, with an optional note to the member

Settles an appeal by id, from anywhere in the server, no dashboard required. The optional note travels to the member's DM with the outcome and stays on the appeal record. First decision wins: if another moderator or the dashboard already settled it, you are told rather than overwriting.

Turn appeals on or off, and choose where they land

Turn appeals off entirely, for servers that run their own appeal process somewhere else, and choose where appeals are posted. With no channel set they land in the mod log. Turning appeals off stops new filings; appeals already waiting still get decided.

Show the proof on a case, or attach more

Shows the proof on a case, or attaches more after the fact. Every link is resolved fresh when you run this rather than being read from the database, because Discord expires attachment URLs within about a day. Anything filed before an evidence channel was configured shows as expired, which is the honest answer rather than a link that 404s when someone clicks it.

bans a member

The reason reaches both the Discord audit log and the member's case history, so it is worth filling in. If the goal is to clear someone's recent messages rather than keep them out, use softban.

Warns a member

Records a case against the member and tries to DM them the reason. Nothing is removed or restricted: a warning is a record, and it is the case history that other tooling reads.

Kicks a member.

Timeouts a member.

Duration takes s, m, h and d, and units combine, so 30m, 2h and 1d12h are all valid. Discord caps a timeout at 7 days and so does this. Lift one early with untime.

Unbans a member

Takes a user ID rather than a mention, since a banned account is no longer in the server to mention. Right-click the entry in Server Settings then Bans to copy one.

Bans then immediately unbans a member to clear their recent messages

A ban followed immediately by an unban. The member can rejoin straight away, but their recent messages are gone. The time argument is how far back to delete, not how long they are out, and it defaults to 7d, the maximum Discord allows.

Removes a timeout on a member.

Strip a member's roles and confine them to the jail channel

Takes every role Vela can manage and leaves the jail role in its place, so the member keeps one channel to explain themselves in. That is the difference from timeout, which silences them everywhere including anywhere they could appeal. What was taken is recorded, so unjail gives back exactly that, and leaving the server does not clear it: rejoining lands them back in jail. Run jail-setup once first.

Release a member and give back the roles jail took

Gives back exactly the roles jail took, not every role they ever had. A role deleted or moved above Vela while they were inside is skipped rather than failing the whole release.

Set up jail, or check the setup still works

Run with no options and Vela builds the whole thing: a Jailed role, a jail channel, and a View Channel denial on every other channel so the role can only see that one. It shows the plan first and changes nothing until you run it again with confirm, because this edits permissions on every channel in the server. Pass a role you already have to use that instead, and run it with no options at any time to check the setup is still sound.

Who is jailed, and whether the setup still works

Who is inside, why, and whether they get out on their own. Also re-runs the setup checks, since the most common way jail stops working is a channel created after setup that nobody sealed.

Ban a member for a set length of time

A ban that lifts itself. The duration takes the same units as timeout, so 30m, 2h and 7d30m all work, up to a year. The unban is recorded as its own case, and it survives a restart: the deadline lives in the database, not in a timer, so a ban that expires while Vela is offline is lifted on the next start rather than never.

Deletes a specified amount of messages.

Every filter narrows the same sweep rather than adding to it, so user, contains, bots, humans, attachments, images, embeds, links, stickers and mentions all combine. Pinned messages are never touched, and Discord will not bulk delete anything older than 14 days whatever the filters say. preview:true shows exactly what would go and waits for a confirmation.

Set how long members must wait between messages

Sets how long members must wait between messages in this channel, from off up to six hours. Bots, moderators and members with Manage Messages are never slowed by Discord.

Lock the current channel

Five modes, in order of severity: soft, hard, raid, announcement and panic. Give a duration to have the channel unlock itself, or lift it early with unlock. This locks one channel; lockdown covers the whole server.

Unlock the current channel

Starts a server lockdown

The server-wide counterpart to lock, with the same five modes. Use unlockdown to lift it.

Unlockdown the server

The raid gate: set it up, or switch it on and off.

The raid gate. setup makes the Unverified role and the verify channel and seals every other channel against the role; on and off are the owner's switch; the join-wave detector can arm it on its own for the minutes set on the Security page.

Previews everyone who joined recently, then kicks or bans the wave on confirmation.

The join-wave detector locks the door; this deals with who came through it. Everyone who joined inside the window is listed first and nothing happens until the preview is confirmed. Each member gets a case.

The open reports, newest first

Members report from a message's context menu, Report to moderators; the reports land in the channel set with /channel set option:reports with Claim, Dismiss and Delete. This lists what is still open.

Give a role to a user

Take a role away from a user

The counterpart to `role add`. Until this existed the only way to take a role back was `role purge-members`, which strips it from every member, so undoing one mis-assigned role meant undoing everyone's.

Give a role that removes itself after a duration

Gives a role that takes itself back. This is how most servers hand out a mute or a restriction without having to remember to undo it. The deadline is stored, not held in a timer, so it survives a restart. Re-running it on someone who already has a timer moves the deadline rather than stacking a second one.

Make a role stick through a leave and rejoin

Without this, every role-based punishment is undone by leaving and rejoining. The snapshot is taken when a member leaves, because once they are gone Discord no longer remembers what they held. Roles above Vela, roles managed by an integration and the everyone role are never saved, since none of them can be given back.

Remove a board

Removes a board and stops maintaining it. Posts already on the board stay where they are. They are part of the channel's history now.

Keep a channel or a role out of the boards

Excluded channels never feed a board at all; stars from members with an excluded role don't count toward anyone's threshold. The intended use being staff channels and staff roles, so moderation chatter and moderators don't dominate the sky.

Who shines brightest

The month's (or all-time) brightest members and the single most-starred message, with a jump link. Everyone can look; only the sky decides who's on it.
