Bans
Make sure that your bans module is enabled before configuring the bans module (!module bans to enable, and !module list to see if it's enabled).
Setting Up Bans Module
This is one of the most easiest features to set up because enabling the module means the feature has been set up. There are no configuration commands for this module. Its sole purpose is simply to ban rowdy people, raiders, or even spam accounts from your community.
Permissions
The list below details the minimum needed permissions in order for the bans module to function:
- View Channels
- Send Messages
-
Manage Messages (If using
%das an argument at the end of the ban command) - Ban Members
Staff Commands
Make sure that Gaius' role is higher than your mod role(s) but below your admin role
Ban/Unban
If you would like your mods to use the ban command, you can do so by doing !allow ban @Mod Role.🔗
It is possible to ban people by their role with the banrole comman., This will result in the uninterruptable banning of everyone who has this role. This cannot be canceled because a processed command cannot be canceled.

Banmsg
This is for permanently banned users, not users who were softbanned. Softban is in the kicks module because it doubles as a hard kick.
This is highly useful for servers that allow banned people to submit ban appeals.
Banmsg allows banned members the opportunity to see your community's customized ban message. Whether it's to allow a ban appeal opportunity, tell them to get yeeted on, or say who banned them, where, and why, banmsg makes these possibilities possible.

Banmsg Flags
These flags are useful tools available to you and will be replaced by whatever that flag is meant for (example: %server will be replaced by the name of your server). In the example, any time you change your server's name after the setup, the flag will also change to that server's current name.

| %user | Will be replaced with the banned user's name |
| %reason | Will be replaced with the reason provided by the moderator |
| %mod |
Will be replaced with the name of the moderator who performed the ban |
