Incident Reports
Incident Reports
The Incident Reports module allows server members and moderators to report issues directly through GuardTool. This helps moderators quickly review problems such as rule violations, harassment, or suspicious activity.
Incident reports are sent to a designated moderation channel where staff can review and respond appropriately.
How Incident Reports Work
When the module is enabled, users can submit reports about incidents happening in the server.
Once a report is submitted:
GuardTool records the report.
The report is sent to the configured incident reports channel.
Moderators can review the report and take action if necessary.
Reports typically include useful details such as:
The user who submitted the report
The reported user
The reason for the report
The time the report was submitted
This helps moderators quickly understand the situation.
Submitting a Report
Users can submit an incident report using the report command.
Example:
GuardTool will guide the user through submitting the report by asking for information about the incident.
Configuring the Reports Channel
Server administrators must choose a channel where incident reports will be sent.
Example channel name:
To configure the channel, run:
Once configured, all reports will automatically be sent to the selected channel.
Moderator Actions
After receiving a report, moderators can review the information and decide what action to take.
Possible actions may include:
Warning the reported user
Muting or timing out the user
Kicking or banning the user
Monitoring the situation
GuardTool only delivers the report — the final decision always belongs to the server's moderation team.
