Member reports, without a public pile-on
/report sends someone to your mods in private. Right-click a message and use Report message when one post is the problem.
ReadHow strikes work (and how to change them)
Points add up, expire on a schedule, and can escalate to a timeout, kick or ban. Every threshold is yours to tune, or set to 0 to skip.

A burst of joins can ping your mods, optionally lock every channel, and unlock later without undoing your read-only channels.
ReadAppeals start in a DM, not in #general
Members run /appeal with Sift in a private conversation. Your team gets a ticket channel; the rest of the server never sees the argument.
