Discord command reference

Type / in a server channel and choose StaffNest. Discord shows the registered commands and required parameters. The names and parameters below are those displayed by Discord when your Discord app is in English. Discord displays their French equivalents when its language is French; both refer to the same commands.

There are thirteen top-level commands. /sanction contains four subcommands. Seeing a command does not guarantee authorization to perform every action: Discord permissions, configured restrictions and StaffNest permissions all apply.

Private menus and confirmations follow your personal language preference, or your Discord language when no preference has been saved. Shared posts follow Settings → General → Bot language. Use /staffnest → Preferences to choose your personal language.

Personal workspace

Command	Parameters	Purpose
/staffnest	None	Personal profile, tasks, absences, departments, meetings, summary and preferences.
/tasks	None	Task status, comments and creation according to permissions.
/departments	None	Accessible departments and teams, with management actions for authorized people.
/meetings	None	Meetings, invitation responses and authorized creation.

These commands open personal menus in the server. See the Discord workspace guide.

Setup and absences

Command	Parameters	Purpose
/setup	None	Activation, staff role import and channels; requires Manage Server on Discord.
/absence	Required: start, end, reason	Submit an absence for a recognized staff member.
/absence-setup	None	Post an absence-request button in the current channel; requires authorization and Discord Manage Roles or Administrator.

For /absence, use DD/MM/YYYY. Optional times use DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM on both dates, or neither for a full-day absence. Times are interpreted in Europe/Paris, even if your account uses another timezone. The start cannot be a past day. The end cannot precede the start; with times it must be strictly later.

/absence start:05/11/2026 09:00 end:07/11/2026 18:00 reason:Planned unavailability

The form in /staffnest avoids remembering the syntax. Requests follow the team’s approval settings.

The confirmation is personal, but the request and reason can be posted to the configured absence channel, or the current channel if none is configured. Use a staff-only channel. If saving succeeds but notification fails, check the saved request before resubmitting it.

Approval buttons in Discord require a recognized staff account and Manage Roles. A department absence delegation alone permits the relevant panel flow, not this Discord permission. See absences.

Staff and activity

Command	Parameters	Purpose
/staff	None	Post staff grouped by rank in the channel; includes active, warned and on-leave members, excluding inactive and former staff.
/staff-info	Required: member	Personal response with the selected member’s profile and authorized management actions.
/report	Optional: period, channel	Publish a weekly or monthly activity report; defaults to the week and current channel.

Weekly and monthly report periods cover the past 7 or 30 days. Headcounts and pending requests are current states; total-action rankings retain their own meaning. The target must be an accessible text or announcement channel. /report requires Manage Roles and the relevant StaffNest authorization.

/staff and /report publish information to the channel. Choose their audience before running them.

Reports and sanctions

Command	Parameters	Purpose
/report-player	Required: player, reason; optional: category, evidence	Report a player to staff. Server members outside staff may use it when the module is available.
/record	Required: member	Personally view accessible player records, sanctions and notes; requires sanction management.
/sanction add	Required: player	Choose a sanction type, then complete the reason and any duration.
/sanction history	Required: player	Review the player’s sanction history.
/sanction stats	None	View sanction statistics.
/sanction remove	Required: player	Choose a sanction to lift; requires sanction management.

For reports, player is the player name and evidence accepts a link or evidence description. Categories cover cheating, toxicity, bug exploits, non-RP and other reports.

The sanction menu supports warnings, kicks, mutes, temporary mutes, bans and temporary bans. Choose a temporary type to specify duration; accepted examples include 30min, 24h, 7d and 2w. Discord history shows the ten latest sanctions and a total; use the panel for a broader view.

Moderation can have a real Discord effect

Check the target, type, reason and duration before confirming. The menu’s mute without a duration corresponds to a 28-day Discord timeout; temporary mutes cannot exceed that duration. Role hierarchy and permissions still apply. A warning is recorded without kicking or banning.

The initial sanction choice is personal, but the confirmed result may be posted in the channel. If the result says the sanction was recorded but the Discord action failed, inspect permissions and the record before repeating it. Recording a sanction in the panel or an automation is not equivalent to executing a Discord command. See sanctions and reports.

Missing commands or denied access

Check the server, bot presence, your staff profile, Discord permissions and Settings → Permissions → Bot commands. Reopen an expired menu.

Tickets use their Discord button or the help flow; there is no /ticket command in this reference. Use troubleshooting if the problem remains.
