adb-plugin-moderation

Core moderation commands for Advanced Discord Bot.

What it does

• Actions: ban, unban, kick, timeout, untimeout, warn
• Records: case log, per-member warning history, moderator notes
• Queries: case lookup, user history, modstats (monthly breakdown)
• Utilities: purge messages, slowmode, lock/unlock channels
• Tickets: setup category/role, open/close/add/remove users

All actions create a numbered case and optionally post an embed to a log channel. Warnings can trigger automatic escalation (timeout → kick → ban) at configurable thresholds.

Requirements

• Node.js 18+
• Advanced Discord Bot with plugin loader
• MongoDB (via ADB's mongoose connection)
• Discord bot with these permissions:
  • Ban Members
  • Kick Members
  • Moderate Members (timeout)
  • Manage Messages (warn, purge, note)
  • Manage Channels (slowmode, lock, ticket channels)
  • Manage Guild (clearwarnings, modstats, ticket setup)

Installation

Inside your bot directory:

npm install adb-plugin-moderation

Then add the plugin to your ADB config:

{
  "plugins": ["adb-plugin-moderation"]
}

Restart the bot. The plugin registers slash commands on load — deploy them to Discord:

node deploy-commands.js

Run /ticket setup in your server to configure tickets. All other settings go in the ADB plugin config UI or directly via the database.
