Collection settings explained

run /collection-edit to change these (owner only).

dm on ban

when enabled, the bot tries to dm banned users to tell them they've been banned. the message includes the user-facing reason and which servers they're banned from.

default: on

if the user has dms disabled, nothing happens (no error).

require evidence

when enabled, mods MUST attach at least one evidence file to every ban. the confirm button is disabled until they upload something.

default: off

useful for accountability, annoying for quick bans.

allow expiry

when enabled, mods can set expiration dates on bans.

default: on

turn this off if you want all bans to be permanent.

sync existing bans

this is a per-server setting, not collection-wide. when a new server joins with sync enabled, they inherit all existing bans.

default: off (the joining server chooses)

logging enabled

when enabled, the bot posts audit logs to a channel named #shareban-logs in each server.

default: on

if the channel doesn't exist, the bot will dm the server owner about it.

ban policy

what actually happens when you shareban someone:

policy	what happens
ban	user is banned from the server
kick	user is kicked (can rejoin)
log_only	nothing happens, just logged

default: ban

log_only is useful if you want to track bad actors without actually banning them. maybe they're not in your server yet.
