BanUtil

BanUtil is simple a self hosted Discord bot for helping with moderation.

About

Features

• Mod log with reasons & images.
• Role based permissions.
• Web status page.

How the bot works

On your server you create Moderator, Can kick, Can ban roles for your mods and Mute, and Warned punishment roles.

None of the roles need to have any special permissions (though you'd probably want the mute role to mute people).

Giving someone the Moderator role will allow them to mute and warn users, and adding the "Can kick/ban" roles will do the obvious.

All actions will be logged in a channel you choose with reasons (that can contain images).

Setup (Heroku)

1. Create a new bot account.
2. Sign up for a free Heroku account.
3. Click the button above.
4. Fill in the token and role IDs.
5. Click
6. Heroku will build and deploy the bot in about 30 seconds.
7. Click

If you configured the bot correctly clicking view should take you to a page like:

Note: before the bot is invited to your server the page will say "ERROR". If it does not go away after the bot joins your server (and you refresh the page) something is wrong.

Heroku free "sleeping apps"

Your bot will go to sleep if the status page is not checked in ~30 mins. To wake up your bot just open the page (whatyoucalledtheapp.herokuapp.com).

P.s.

A simple way to get role IDs is to make the role mentionable then type \@Role. It should show something like <@&355471059698319363> when after you send the message. The ID is the nunber between <@& and >. To find other IDs enable developer mode (under settings -> appearance), then copy IDs with the context menu.
