Powershield

Protect your server against command abuse by moderators

Overview

Powershield monitors moderator command usage and automatically punishes abuse. Set thresholds per command — if someone triggers a moderation command too many times within a time window, they get stripped, kicked, or banned. You can also lock the command server-wide after abuse is detected.

Powershield only works with commands in the Moderation category. The server owner is always exempt and cannot be punished.

---

Access

Powershield is restricted to the Server Owner, **Extra Owners and Antinuke Admins. Regular members and moderators cannot configure it.

---

Control Panel

Running ~powershield with no arguments opens the interactive control panel where you can enable or disable the system, set a log channel, and view configured rules.

~powershield

Panel Buttons:

• Enable / Disable — Toggle Powershield on or off
• Set Log — Set the channel where abuse actions are logged

Time Format

Windows and lockdown durations use a simple format:

Format	Duration
30s	30 seconds
5m	5 minutes
1h	1 hour

---

How Lockdown Works

When a lockdown duration is set on a rule and abuse is detected, the command is locked for everyone in the server for that duration — including legitimate moderators. This prevents further abuse while you respond to the incident.

# Ban command: 3 uses in 10 minutes = strip, then lock ~ban for 5 minutes
~powershield ban 3 10m strip 5m

Lockdown affects all users in the server, including exempt ones. Plan your lockdown durations accordingly.
