Cases & moderation

How every moderation action becomes a searchable, permanent case.

1

Creating a case

Use n!warn, n!mute, n!kick, n!ban or n!tempban. Each command stores the target user, acting moderator, reason, timestamp and action type as a numbered case. You can also create cases manually with n!addcase for actions taken outside the bot.

2

Viewing and searching cases

In the dashboard, open the Cases page for your server. Filter by member, moderator, reason or action type. Use n!case <number> or n!searchcases to find cases directly from chat.

3

Hidden cases

Mark sensitive cases as hidden. They stay out of public case listings but remain part of the audit trail for senior staff who have permission to view them.

4

Editing and updating cases

If a reason needs to be corrected or a case needs a note, use the dashboard case view or the n!editcase command. Every update is recorded so the audit trail stays accurate.

5

DMs and notifications

Nighthawk can DM users when they are warned, muted, kicked or banned. Configure DM templates in the dashboard to keep your communication consistent and professional.
