Overview

Before confine’s moderation commands will work, your server needs somewhere to log actions and a set of roles to apply punishments with. One command handles all of it.

​
Running setup

You need the Administrator permission to run this. Confine also needs Manage Channels and Manage Roles on its own role, or setup will stop before making any changes.
Confine posts a status message while it works, then updates it once everything’s in place.

​
What gets created

​
Channels

Both are hidden from @everyone immediately, so your members won’t see them unless you decide to open them up.

​
Roles

All four are created with no permissions of their own and a neutral gray color, so they won’t accidentally grant anything or shuffle your role list colors around.

​
How jailing works

Jail is a stricter version of a mute. Instead of silencing someone in place, it walls them off from the entire server and leaves them a single channel to talk in. Setup handles this by walking every channel in your server and denying the Jailed role view and send access — then re-allowing both in #jail only. #jail-log stays hidden from them so they can’t watch their own case get written up.
Channels created after setup won’t automatically inherit these overwrites. If you add a new channel later, re-run ,setup to bring it in line.

​
Re-running setup

Running ,setup again is safe. Confine checks for the channels and roles it already registered and reuses anything that still exists rather than duplicating it. Anything you deleted gets rebuilt, and permission overwrites are reapplied across the server. Your existing jail message and jail role settings carry over untouched.
