Friends, moderation upgrades & more
Hey everyone 👋
A fresh update just landed — here's what's new.
👥 Friends
You can now add friends directly on YAWBDB. Head to Friends in the navigation bar to get started.
- Search any panel user and send a friend request
- Accept or decline requests straight from the notification bell — no page change needed
- Start a DM with any friend in one click
- Block users to prevent messages and friend requests
- See your friends' online / away / DND status anywhere on the platform
Friend requests show up in the bell in real time, and you can optionally receive an email when someone adds you (Profile → Email Notifications → Friend requests).
🛡️ Moderation history
The sanction history on your server's moderation page now shows a proper user card for each entry — Discord avatar, username, and ID side by side.
Click any row to open a live info panel: display name, server roles with their colors, join date, and a note if the user has since left the server.
✏️ Edit sanction reason
Staff can now update the reason on any existing sanction directly from the panel — just hover the reason cell and click the pencil icon.
The /reason slash command in Discord does the same thing:
/reason case_id: 42 new_reason: <updated reason> notify: true
Setting notify: true sends the user a DM with the updated reason automatically.
🟢 Online status everywhere
Status dots (online / away / DND) now appear consistently across the whole platform — Friends page, chat sidebar, conversation members — not just inside the chat itself.
That's it for this one. As always, reach out if you run into anything.
