Server Setup

Moderation Setup

Run these two commands once when first setting up the bot. They create the roles and channels required for mute, jail, and other moderation actions.

setupmod

Creates the Mute, Image Mute, and Reaction Mute roles and configures their channel permission overrides automatically across every category in your server.

Required permission: Administrator

-setupmod

After running, the bot will:

Create a Mute role that blocks Send Messages in all channels
Create an Image Mute role that blocks Attach Files in all channels
Create a Reaction Mute role that blocks Add Reactions in all channels

Once complete, -mute, -imagemute, and -reactionmute will work on your server.

setupjail

Creates a Jail role and a #jail channel. Jailed members lose access to every channel except #jail, where they can be seen but cannot send messages or react.

Required permission: Manage Server

-setupjail

After running, use -jail @user and -unjail @user to manage jailed members.

Server Setup

Automod Setup

Automod features run automatically in the background once enabled. All automod commands require Manage Server or a trusted user (see trust).

antiraid

Automatically bans suspicious users that join in rapid succession (raid detection).

-antiraid enable
-antiraid disable

antibotadd

Automatically bans bots that are added to the server without authorization.

-antibotadd enable
-antibotadd disable

chatfilter

Automatically deletes messages containing filtered words. Supports adding, removing, and resetting the word list.

-chatfilter add <word>
-chatfilter remove <word>
-chatfilter reset

Example: -chatfilter add badword — any message containing "badword" will be automatically deleted.

filterinvites

Prevents members from posting Discord server invite links in any channel.

-filterinvites enable
-filterinvites disable

antiselfreact

Removes reactions when a user reacts to their own message.

-antiselfreact enable
-antiselfreact disable

trust

Grant specific users permission to manage automod features without giving them Manage Server. Useful for trusted moderators.

Required permission: Manage Server (to modify the trust list)

-trust add @user
-trust remove @user
-trust list
-trust clear

Server Setup

New ticket channels are created inside this category.

Troubleshooting

The bot doesn't respond to commands

Check that the bot is online and has permission to read and send messages in the channel. If you changed the prefix with prefix set, make sure you're using the new prefix. Try -ping to confirm the bot is alive.

Mute / jail isn't working after setupmod / setupjail

The bot needs Manage Roles and its role must be positioned above the Mute/Jail role in the role list. Go to Server Settings → Roles and drag the scare.wtf role above Mute and Jail.

New channels aren't getting mute role permissions

Run -setupmod again after creating new channels. The command only applies permission overrides to channels that exist at the time it runs.

Welcome or goodbye messages aren't sending

Make sure you've set both a channel and a message. Setting only one is not enough. Run -welcome view to confirm both are configured.

A command says "You do not have the required permissions"

Check the Permission Reference table above to see which Discord permission is needed. Alternatively, ask a server owner with Manage Server to add you as a trusted user via -trust add @you.
