  • ✅ Kick/Ban Members (for moderation)
  • ❌ Administrator (not recommended)

Admin Access

  • Limit admin level 3 to trusted individuals
  • Regularly audit admin list
  • Use role-based permissions when possible

Audit Logs

Regularly check:

  • Bot command usage
  • Moderation actions
  • Configuration changes

Troubleshooting

Bot Not Responding

  1. Check bot is online (!ping)
  2. Verify bot has channel permissions
  3. Check if channel is "quiet" (!quiet start was used)
  4. Verify command prefix

Commands Not Working

  1. Ensure command is enabled
  2. Check user has required admin level
  3. Verify command isn't disabled in channel
  4. Check bot role hierarchy for moderation commands

Missing Permissions

The bot needs to have roles above users it moderates. Check role hierarchy in Server Settings.
