Understanding the Jail System

The Jail System lets moderators temporarily restrict members by placing them in a jailed role.
Jailed members lose access to normal channels and can only interact in a restricted jail channel.
This is a moderation feature that requires the bot to have Manage Roles and Manage Channels permissions.

System Overview

When active, the Jail System provides:
  • A dedicated jail role and restricted jail channel.
  • A jail log channel for staff to track jail/un-jail actions.
  • Automatic backup and restoration of roles (when enabled).
  • Customizable jail messages with placeholders like {user}, {moderator}, and {guild.name}.
  • Case IDs for every action stored in moderation logs.
The system is perfect for containing rulebreakers without removing them from your server.

Limits & Notes

⚙️ Important Notes
  • Moderators cannot jail or un-jail members with higher or equal roles.
  • The jail role must remain below the bot’s role in the hierarchy.
  • If the jail role or channels are deleted manually, rerun: 
    -setupjail
  • Jail messages can include placeholders:
    • {user} → mentions the jailed user
    • {moderator} → displays the moderator’s name
    • {guild.name} → server name
The system requires Manage Roles and Manage Channels permissions to function properly.

Accessing the Jail System

The Jail System is available to all servers with Omex installed — no premium required.
Only users with the proper permissions (e.g., Manage Roles) can use jail commands.
