Overview

Banning is the most severe moderation action — it removes a member from the server and prevents them from rejoining until they are unbanned. pom’s ban command includes safety checks like role hierarchy enforcement and optional reason logging that appears in Discord’s audit log.

​
Ban

Permanently ban a member from the server. The member is immediately removed and cannot rejoin until unbanned.

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
memberUser mention or IDYesThe member to ban. You can ban by mention, username, or user ID (including users not in the server)
reasonTextNoThe reason for the ban, recorded in Discord’s audit log

​
Safety Checks

pom performs several checks before executing a ban:
  • Role hierarchy — your highest role must be above the target’s highest role
  • Self-targeting — you cannot ban yourself
  • Owner protection — you cannot ban the server owner
  • Bot permissions — pom must have the Ban Members permission and a role higher than the target
You need the Ban Members permission to use this command.

​
Unban

Remove a ban from a user, allowing them to rejoin the server. 
,unban <user>
ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
userUser ID or nameYesThe banned user to unban. Since they aren’t in the server, use their user ID or exact username
You need the Ban Members permission to use this command.
You can find banned users’ IDs in Server Settings → Bans in Discord, or by checking your audit logs.
