Jail Configuration

Configure the jail channel and jail role required for the /jail and /unjail moderation commands.

Prerequisites

  • Manage Roles – The bot needs this to assign and remove the jail role.

Configuration

Using the dashboard

  1. Run /config jail or open the Admin Configuration and use Jail → Open.
  2. Jail channel – Choose the text channel where jailed members can talk. This is the only channel they can access while jailed.
  3. Jail role – Choose the role applied to jailed members. It should have View (and usually Send messages) denied on all channels except the jail channel.

To clear a setting, open the dropdown and deselect the current value (or choose nothing).

Channel and role setup

  1. Create a jail text channel (e.g. #jail).
  2. Create a Jail role. Place it below the bot’s top role so the bot can assign it.
  3. On every other channel: channel settings → Permissions → add the Jail role → deny View channel (and Send messages if you prefer).
  4. On the jail channel: ensure the Jail role has View channel and Send messages (and any other permissions you want jailed users to have).
  5. Use /config jail to set the Jail channel and Jail role to those.

New channels

When a new channel is created, Tux automatically denies the jail role access to it. You only need to manually allow the jail role on the jail channel.
