Example site by Frostyh, fictional project

A Discord bot that explains every timeout and ban to the person who got it.

Meniscus also holds scam links and slows down raids.
Anyone it moderates can type /why and read the rule.

Add to Discord

Free for most servers. Plus is 3.49 EUR a month.

What it does

Warnings, tickets and level-ups all end up in the same history. When a mod looks someone up, they see all of it.

  • Raid shield

    If 20 new accounts join within a minute, Meniscus slows the door down, makes them verify and pings your mods once.

    Free
  • Scam links

    Fake Discord and Steam domains, gift links and QR code screenshots get held before anyone clicks them. Normal links go through.

    Free
  • Auto slowmode

    If a channel gets busy, slowmode goes up a step. It goes back down by itself when things calm down.

    Free
  • Cases and /why

    Every action gets a case number and a reason. Members and mods can look it up with /why.

    Free
  • Levels

    XP for chatting, with a cooldown so spamming doesn't pay. Level roles, double XP events, a leaderboard you can reset.

    Free, more level roles on Plus
  • Tickets

    A button opens a private thread with the right team. Claim it, close it with a reason, keep the transcript.

    Free, more panels on Plus
  • Welcome screen

    Rules, a verify button and a starter role, so new people end up in the right channels.

    Free
  • Role menus

    Let members pick their own roles. You can set limits, required roles and a line about what each role is for.

    Free
  • Reminders and polls

    Event reminders show up in each member's own time zone. Polls close on time and post the result.

    Free
  • Audit log

    Edits, deletes, role changes and voice moves in one channel. A raid shows up as one entry instead of ninety.

The idea behind it

Why we built /why

People get angrier about a message that disappears than about the rule itself. So every hold sends the author a short note and gives your mods a case.

Add to Discord

Wrong call? One click releases the message.

Example data. Pixel Bakery is a made-up server.

What happens to a held link

Case 2141, step by step. Example data from Pixel Bakery, a made-up server.

The link is held

Someone posts dlscord-gift.example/claim, one letter away from discord.com. Meniscus holds the message before anyone clicks it. Held, not deleted.

The author gets a note

A short note says which rule it was. With /why they can read the whole case.

Your mods get one case

Case 2141 lands in #mod-log with the rule, what was seen and a 10 minute timeout. The mods are pinged once.

Wrong call? One click

Release the message and add the domain to the allow list. The author gets a note either way.

Commands

All 24 of them. Search or pick one to see what the reply looks like.

    What server owners say about it

    Example text
    We got raided on a Sunday night and none of us were online. In the morning there was one ping and a list of the accounts it had held back. That was it.
    Owner of a made-up art server
    Example text
    Since /why we barely get "why was my message deleted" posts anymore. People read the reason and get on with it.

    Questions

    Which permissions does Meniscus ask for?

    Only the ones its features use: manage messages, moderate members, manage roles below its own role, and view the channels you pick. You can turn every module off and it drops back to read-only.

    Does it read DMs?

    No. Meniscus works in server channels only and never sends DMs on its own. The one exception is the short note that tells a member why their message was held, and you can switch that off.

    How long do you keep message content?

    Held messages are kept with their case for the history window of your plan, 30 days on Free. Everything else is checked in memory and not stored.

    Can I import warnings from another bot?

    Yes, from a CSV export. Cases keep their dates and moderator names.

    What happens when Plus ends?

    Your server drops to Free. Nothing is deleted for 60 days, so you can come back without losing level roles or panels.

    Add Meniscus to your server

    Setup takes about five minutes. The free plan has no time limit.
