Reading the moderation log
Goal#
Find what happened to a member, or what a rule or moderator has been doing.
Steps#
- The log lists every moderation action, newest first: manual commands and rule firings alike. Rule actions show the bot as the actor and carry the rule's name in the reason.
- Filter by target, by moderator, by action type, or by time to narrow to what you are looking for, and page through long histories.
- People appear with the display name they had when it happened. The small copy marker next to a name copies the exact numeric id, for lookups that outlive name changes.
- An action that Discord refused (missing permission, member already gone) appears with a failure badge instead of vanishing, so the record shows what was attempted.
- Mentions inside reasons render as names, so a reason written with text variables reads naturally.
What you end up with#
The log answers who did what to whom, when, and why, including the attempts that failed.
