What you'll build

  • /warn @member reason: staff warn someone. The bot counts it and DMs them.
  • At 3 warnings, the bot gives a timeout and starts the count again.
  • /warnings @member: see how many warnings someone has.
  • /clear-warnings @member: wipe someone’s warnings.

​
The variables to make

Or add Warnings from What do you want to make? on the Database page.

​
/warn

1

Make the command and inputs

A Slash command called warn. Add a User input member and a Text input reason. Make both required.They give you {option_member} and {option_reason}.
2

Staff only

Add the check that looks at permissions (search permission): Moderate Members. Under its Else block: Reply Only moderators can warn people.
3

Count the warning: straight under the check

Do the maths on warnings, Whose variable the member input member, Equation var + 1.
4

Tell them

A block that sends a direct message (search direct) to that member:
5

Tell the moderator

Reply: Warning given. {user_name[option_member]} now has {DBVAR_warnings[option_member]} warnings.
6

Three strikes

Add Compare: Base Value {DBVAR_warnings[option_member]}, Less Than, Comparison Value 3. Leave the path straight under it empty.
7

Time out: under the Else block

  1. The timeout block (search timeout) for the input member, for 1 hour.
  2. Save a value on warnings, Whose variable the member input member, Value 0.
8

Save

Press Save.

​
When a block fails

Some blocks can fail. For example, the bot cannot time out someone with a higher role, and a DM fails if the member has DMs closed. Many blocks have two extra paths:
  • the green path: “it worked”
  • the red path: “it failed”
Press the + on the red path of the timeout block and add a Reply:
{error_reason} says why it failed, in plain words. See Built-in variables. You can also choose what happens for the whole command in If something breaks on the first block: Explain the problem, My own message, Stay silent, Alert a staff channel, or Skip the broken block and continue.

​
/warnings

1

Make the command

A Slash command called warnings with a User input member.
2

Add a Reply

​
/clear-warnings

Make the command

A Slash command called clear-warnings with a User input member.

​
Try it

  1. Use /warn on a test account with a reason. It gets a DM.
  2. Type /warnings for that account. You see 1.
  3. Warn it two more times. It gets a timeout and the count goes back to 0.
  4. Try /warn from an account without Moderate Members. The bot says no.
