The snippetunban command can be used in two ways:

Slash Command:

Text Only
/snippetunban member:@user [reason:STRING] [silent:true/false]

Permissions

Bot Permissions

Tux requires no special Discord permissions for this command, as it is handled internally via its database.

User Permissions

Users need appropriate moderation permissions to use this command.

Permission System

Command permissions are configured per-guild using Tux's dynamic permission system. Configure via /config commands or see the Permission Configuration guide.

Usage Examples

Basic Snippet Unban

Restoring snippet access for a member.

With Reason

Text Only
$snippetunban @user Appealed successfully, access restored

Response

When executed successfully, Tux will:

  1. Update its internal database to remove the snippet ban for the user.
  2. Attempt to DM the user informing them they can once again create and manage snippets (unless -silent is used).
  3. Create a new moderation case for the snippet unban.
  4. Post a confirmation message in the current channel.
  5. Log the action in the designated moderation log channel.
