Warnings

11 commandsModerationOpen in Telegram

Not every slip deserves a ban. Warnings give members a strike instead, and when someone reaches the limit Marina acts on her own: a ban by default, or a kick, mute or temporary ban if you prefer.

How it plays out#

By default the third warning bans. Change the number with /warnlimit and the punishment with /warnmode. Every warning notice has a Remove warning button, so an admin can take back a warning given by mistake. When the limit is reached, the notice lists every reason that led there.

Warnings that expire#

Warnings stay until removed, unless you set /warntime. With /warntime 4w, each warning disappears four weeks after it was given, so long-time members aren't punished for something from last year.

Automatic warnings#

Blocklists and locks can warn too. Those warnings count towards the same limit as the ones admins hand out.

Commands#

Everyone

/warns
Your own active warnings. Admins can add a user to see theirs.

Admins

/warn <user> [reason]
Warns a member.
/dwarn [reason]
Reply to a message: warn its sender and delete it.
/swarn <user> [reason]

/resetwarn <user>
Clears all of someone's warnings. Also /resetwarns.
/warnings

/warnlimit [number]
Shows or sets the limit, from 1 to 50. Default 3. Also /setwarnlimit.
/warnmode [mode] [time]
What happens at the limit: ban, kick, mute, tban or tmute. Also /setwarnmode.
/warntime [time/off]
How long warnings last. Default off: forever. Also /setwarntime.

Chat owner

/resetallwarns
Wipes every warning in the group, after you confirm.

Examples#

/warn @someone ignoring the rules
A warning with a reason.
/warnlimit 5
Act on the fifth warning.
/warnmode tmute 2d
At the limit, mute for two days.
/warntime 4w
Warnings expire after four weeks.

Good to know#

  • Admins, the owner and Marina herself can't be warned.
  • When the limit bans or mutes someone, the notice has an Unban or Unmute button. Lifting it doesn't bring back the old warnings.
  • The settings commands also work from private chat after /connect.
