Moderation and Personality

Shape Gander's character and keep your server safe. Configure tone, interests, and boundaries alongside warnings and mute rules from Community Studio.

Community Studio configures the bot per server.

Personality Controls

Define how Gander engages in chat. Pick a tone, set response length, and define the topics that are in or out of bounds.

Tone Selection

Choose from five tones to match your server's atmosphere: Professional, Friendly, Sarcastic, Argumentative, or Helpful. Tone affects word choice, structure, and attitude.

Response Length

Pick Brief, Concise, or Chatty replies. Concise is the default recommendation and keeps Gander from dominating chat.

Interests

List topics Gander knows about. Conversations on those subjects get more detailed, enthusiastic replies (gaming, tech, programming, memes, Discord culture).

Topics to Avoid

Set boundaries by listing subjects Gander declines to discuss. Common exclusions: politics, religion, personal finance, medical advice.

Emoji Configuration

Control how Gander uses emoji in replies. Standard emoji add emotion. Server emoji let Gander use your custom set.

Standard Emoji

Enable or disable Unicode emoji in responses. Useful when a community is more casual or more formal than the default.

Server Emoji

Add a list of server emoji codes (for example :custom_emoji:) and Gander will use them when appropriate. Make sure the bot has permission to use external emoji.

Moderation Tools

Keep your server safe with warnings, configurable mute roles, and automatic mute durations for repeat offenders.

Warning System

Issue warnings to members and track totals over time. Set a maximum warning threshold before automatic action triggers.

Mute Role

Pick a Discord role to apply when members hit the warning threshold. Set the default mute duration to match your server policy.

Action Log

Review moderation history per member, including warnings issued and mute durations applied, from Community Studio.
