Bans Mutes and Warnings

Bans, Mutes & Warnings

Moderation tools backed by Bukkit's ban list and EssentialsX mutes, plus the dashboard's own warning and escalation system.

Permissions: BANS_VIEW to view lists, BANS_MANAGE to ban/mute/warn and edit templates.

Bans & mutes list (/bans)

• Paginated lists of active bans (from the Bukkit ban list) and active mutes (from EssentialsX).
• Each entry shows the reason and expiry (permanent when there's no expiry).
• CSV export for bans.
• Each row links straight to the player's profile to manage the punishment. (Name bans that can't be resolved to a known player — e.g. IP bans — have no link.)

Issuing punishments

Punish from a player's profile Actions tab, or inline from the Chat Moderation feed:

• Ban / Unban — with reason and optional duration (temporary or permanent).
• Mute / Unmute — with optional duration.
• Kick — with reason (online players).
• Warn — records a warning that can auto-escalate (see below).

All actions are audited and can be forwarded to Discord (see Audit Log).

Warnings & auto-escalation

Warnings are tracked per player. With escalation rules, hitting a warning threshold automatically triggers a punishment — e.g. 3 warnings → 1-hour mute, 5 warnings → ban.

Moderation settings (/moderation, admin only)

Admins configure two things here:

• Punishment templates — reusable presets (label, type, reason, duration) so staff apply consistent punishments in one click.
• Escalation rules — the warning-count thresholds and the action taken at each.
