Discord Reports

Discord Reports let members report users directly from your Discord server.

Reports are handled by your moderation team through private Discord channels and the YAWBDB panel.

👤 Member command

Members can use:

/report @user reason [note]

The report includes:

• Reporter
• Target user
• Reason
• Optional note

The reason is picked from a list: Spam, Harassment, Inappropriate content, Threat or Other. The note is optional and holds up to 500 characters. You cannot report yourself or a bot.

⏱️ Rate limits

Each member can send a limited number of reports per 24 hours. Max reports per user per day sets it, from 1 to 10, with 3 by default.

Past the limit, the bot tells the member privately to try again tomorrow.

This prevents abuse while still allowing members to contact staff when needed.

🔒 Private report channel

When a report is created, YAWBDB opens a private Discord channel for it, as soon as a Reports category is set in the feature settings.

The channel is visible to:

• The reporter
• Configured staff roles
• Other users added by staff, if needed

The channel contains report details and action buttons for staff.

👮 Staff actions

Staff can update a report from Discord or the panel.

Common actions include:

• Mark as under review
• Resolve
• Dismiss
• Sanction target
• Add target to the channel
• Remove target from the channel

When the report is resolved or dismissed, the reporter may keep read-only access to the channel history.

📥 Panel reports page

The Reports page lets staff review and manage reports from the web panel.

Staff can:

• Browse reports
• Filter by status or reason
• View the report thread
• Reply to the reporter
• Change status
• Add an internal staff note
• Export the thread as Markdown or HTML
• Delete a report, if allowed

🔄 Bidirectional sync

Messages and status updates can sync between Discord and the panel.

Examples:

• A staff reply sent from the panel appears in the Discord report channel.
• A message sent in the Discord report channel appears in the panel thread.
• Status changes update on both sides.

This lets staff work from the place they prefer.

ℹ️ /info command

Staff with the Kick Members permission can use /info to look up moderation context for a member, or for a Discord user ID when the person has left the server.

It can show information such as:

• Account creation date
• Server join date
• Report summary (total, and how many are pending or under review)
• Sanction summary (total, and how many are active)
• Recent moderation history
• Panel account, when the person has one

📧 Email notifications

Depending on preferences and roles, YAWBDB can send email notifications for new reports or report replies.

Users can control relevant email preferences from their profile.
