Disable Commands and Customize Moderation Messages

seize gives you two related moderation configuration tools: the ability to disable commands or entire modules for specific scopes, and the ability to customize the messages sent when moderation actions are performed.

​

Disable commands and modules

You can block commands or whole cogs from running server-wide, in a specific channel, or for a specific role. Server owners and bot owners are always exempt.

​

Quick disable

Run ,disable <command> [channel_or_role] to disable a command in the current channel by default. If you provide a channel or role, the rule applies there instead. Examples:

• ,disable ban disables ,ban in the current channel.
• ,disable ban #general disables ,ban in #general.
• ,disable ban @Muted disables ,ban for anyone with the Muted role.

​

Server-wide disable

Use the ,disable command subcommand to default to server-wide rules.

• ,disable command ban disables ,ban across the entire server.
• ,disable command ban #bot-commands disables ,ban in #bot-commands.

​

Disable entire modules

You can disable a whole cog at once.

• ,disable module Leveling disables the Leveling module server-wide.
• ,disable module Leveling #bot-commands disables it only in #bot-commands.
• ,disable module remove Leveling re-enables the module.
• ,disable module list shows every module-level disable rule.

​

Re-enable commands

• ,disable remove ban removes all disable rules for ,ban.
• ,disable remove ban #general removes only the rule for #general.
• ,disable reset clears every disable rule in the server.
• ,disable reset ban clears all rules for ,ban only.

​

List active rules

• ,disable list shows all command-level disable rules.
• ,disable module list shows all module-level rules.

​

Customize moderation messages

The ,invoke system lets you configure the DM and channel messages sent for moderation actions. You can use variables, embed tags, and container syntax to match your server’s branding.

​

Available actions

You can configure messages for: ban, unban, tempban, softban, hardban, kick, mute, unmute, runmute, rmute, imute, iunmute, jail, unjail, warn, timeout, and untimeout.

​

Set a message

Each action has a message and a dm subcommand. Use set to configure and view to preview.

• Channel message: ,invoke ban message set You were banned from {guild.name} by {moderator} for {reason}
• DM message: ,invoke ban dm set {embed}$v{title: Banned}$v{description: You have been banned from {guild.name}}

​

Variables you can use

Run ,invoke variables for the full list. Common variables include:

• Punishment: {reason}, {moderator}, {moderator.name}, {moderator.mention}
• Target: {user}, {user.name}, {user.display_name}, {user.mention}, {user.id}, {user.avatar}, {user.created_at}, {user.joined_at}
• Server: {guild.name}, {guild.id}, {guild.icon}, {guild.member_count}
• Channel: {channel.name}, {channel.mention}, {channel.id}

​

Embed and container tags

seize supports rich formatting tags separated by $v:

• {embed} or {container}
• {title: ...}
• {description: ...}
• {color: #hex}
• {field: name && value && inline}
• {thumbnail: ...}
• {image: ...}
• {author: name && icon && url}
• {footer: ...}
• {button: link && Label && https://example.com}

Use {container} instead of {embed} for a Components V2 layout.

​

Preview a message

• ,invoke ban message view previews the configured channel message.
• ,invoke ban dm view previews the configured DM message.
