Jail System

Isolate and manage problematic users with Veronica’s advanced Jail system.

Jail System

The Jail system is a high-security isolation utility designed to temporarily restrict a user’s access to your server without resorting to a kick or ban. When a member is jailed, Veronica creates a secure backup of their roles, strips them of all permissions, and confines them to a dedicated #jail channel where they can communicate only with authorized staff.

Role Safety Guard (NEW)

The jail system includes a security guard to prevent privilege escalation.

If the Jailed role is granted any “Dangerous Permissions” (e.g., Administrator, Manage Server, Manage Roles), the bot will refuse to jail any user. This prevents hackers from being accidentally given elevated powers while “jailed”.

Veronica provides full support for both Slash Commands and Prefix Commands across the entire Jail suite.

Getting Started

Before you can use the jail system, you must initialize the server’s infrastructure to ensure roles and permissions are correctly configured.

1. Initialize Infrastructure

   Run the setup command to automatically generate the required role and channel environment.

   Slash

   /jailsetup
   

   Jail role and #jail channel successfully created.
2. Automated Configuration

   Veronica will update channel permissions server-wide.

3. Permission Hierarchy

   Ensure the bot’s highest role is positioned above the “Jailed” role.

Next Steps

Logging

Track every jail and unjail action in your moderation logs.

Auto-Mod

Automate the jailing of repeat offenders using the escalation system.

Command Reference

Efficiently manage jailed users using our dual-input command system.

Jail

# Slash
/jail user:@Member reason:Rule Violation

# Prefix
,jail <@Member|ID> [reason]

Command Details

Command	Permission	Description
jail	Moderate Members	Strips roles and restricts the user to the jail channel.
unjail	Moderate Members	Removes the jail status and restores all original roles.
jaillist	Staff	Displays a list of all currently jailed members in the server.
jailsetup	Administrator	Configures the server-wide jail role and channel architecture.

Core Mechanics

Understanding how Veronica handles your server’s security is key to effective moderation.

Role Persistence

Before any roles are removed, Veronica saves a snapshot of the user’s role IDs to the database, ensuring 100% accurate restoration.

Staff Interactivity

The Jail command generates an interactive Unjail button, allowing staff to quickly restore a user with a single click.

Hierarchy Safety

Moderators are prevented from jailing users with higher or equal role positions, maintaining the chain of command.

Isolation Logic

The “Jailed” role overwrites channel permissions server-wide, effectively “ghosting” the user from the community.

User Persistence

If a user leaves and rejoins the server while jailed, their status remains stored in the database. You can use the registry to track these users and ensure they cannot bypass their isolation by re-joining.

Advanced Flow

Pro-Tip: Do not manually delete the Jailed role or #jail channel. If the system is tampered with, run jailsetup again to immediately repair and re-sync the configuration.
