A command says “I don’t have permission”

Three different things produce that message:
  1. Discord permission · the bot’s role lacks it. Check the table in Permissions.
  2. Hierarchy · the target’s top role is at or above Criminal’s. Move Criminal’s role up in Server Settings → Roles.
  3. Exemption · the member has Manage Messages, is a bot, or holds an AutoMod-exempt role.

​
/mute or /imagemute does nothing

/setup mute hasn’t been run, so there’s no Muted role to apply. Run it, then re-run it whenever you add channels outside a category.

​
/jail doesn’t move anyone

/setup jail hasn’t been run, or the bot can’t manage the Jailed role. Honeypots set to jail have the same dependency.

​
AutoMod ignores everything

In order of likelihood:
  • The module is off by default.
  • The individual rule is off · invites, links, caps, mentions, spam and words each need enabling.
  • The member is exempt: staff, bot, or an exempt role or channel.
  • The bot lacks Manage Messages, so it can’t delete.

​
Level ups aren’t announced

Announcements stay off until a channel exists:
Leveling itself must be enabled with /config toggle levels enabled:True, and messages only count after that.

​
A level reward role isn’t granted

The role sits above Criminal’s highest role. /levelreward set refuses to save those, so if it saved, the role was probably moved up afterwards. Move it below the bot’s role.

​
Sob Board posts nothing

  • starboard-channel isn’t set.
  • The message hasn’t reached the threshold (default 3).
  • The channel is NSFW, or @everyone can’t view it · both are skipped.
  • The reaction is 😭 only; other emoji are ignored.

​
Suggestions say “no suggestion channel is set”

​
Vanity roles never apply

  • The module is off: /config toggle vanity enabled:True.
  • The keyword doesn’t match · it’s checked against the custom status, not the bio, because Discord doesn’t expose bios to bots.
  • The member is offline; status is only read while they’re online.
  • The role is above the bot’s highest role · /vanity status warns about this.
After fixing, run /vanity rescan to re-check everyone online.

​
Social feeds are late or missing

A new follow only announces posts made after you followed. After downtime, the newest three missed items are posted, not the whole backlog.

Something is broken that isn’t on this list
