Documentation

How to set Wardnox up, what every setting does, and why it decides what it decides. Written for the person running the server.

Getting started

  • What Wardnox doesHow a message is judged, what happens when something is caught, and why nothing is enforced until you say so.
  • CommandsEvery slash command, what each one is for, and which two you should know before an incident rather than during one.
  • Getting startedInvite it, grant the right permissions, set a log channel, then watch for a few days before enforcing anything.

Rules

  • Writing rulesThe three kinds of rule, and the one decision that causes most bad experiences with a filter: whether a rule contributes evidence or carries its own action.
  • Domains and linksHow the allowlist exempts a domain completely, what it does not exempt, and how to build a list without breaking your server.
  • Tuning your rulesThe workflow people skip and then regret: monitor first, read the log, fix the rule rather than the sensitivity, and know the escape hatches before you need them.

Members and conversation

  • Verification and welcomeThe gate on join, its six challenges and the cost of making them harder, and why the greeting fires after the gate rather than before it.
  • Conversation and knowledgeWhat the chattiness dial actually does, why an unprompted reply is never certain, and how to give the bot your documentation so it answers from your project.
  • TicketsA support desk inside your server: the panel and its buttons, claiming, why the transcript is written before the channel goes anywhere, and why the security engine steps back inside a ticket.

Reference

  • Security settingsEvery control on the Security page: what it does, when it is the right one to reach for, and why the numbers are not printed on a public page.
  • TroubleshootingWhy nothing appears in the log, why the bot is silent in one server and not another, and why an allowlisted domain can still be flagged. Every case here has happened.
  • GlossaryBand, profile, monitor mode, trusted, exempt, credit, entitlement. Every term the dashboard and the log use, defined once.

This is the first part of a larger set. Writing rules, every setting explained, verification, the knowledge base, billing and troubleshooting are being written now. If something you need is missing, the fastest route is still to ask.
