1 / 3Built interface — Punishments
Overview
Moderation & Appeals Suite keeps a paper trail for every action staff take on a Paper server. Bans, mutes, kicks and warns are issued from templates with a reason, a duration and an evidence note, stored in a database with the staff member who issued them, and shown back in a per-player history GUI so the next moderator sees the whole story before deciding what to do.
Reports come from players with a command or a click on a name in chat, land in a staff queue with the reporter, the reported player and a chat snapshot from the last two minutes, and are closed with an outcome that the reporter is told about. Staff mode gives moderators vanish, freeze, teleport to player, inventory inspection and a frozen-player prompt in one toggle, with an audit log of every use.
The chat filter runs on word lists, regex rules and repeat detection, with actions per rule from a warning to a timed mute, and a review channel where filtered messages can be checked so false positives are corrected rather than argued about. Templates for common offences set the ladder, first a warn, then a day, then a week, so punishments are consistent across the staff team.
Appeals are handled by a small web form you host yourself, delivered as Node.js source with a config file. A banned player enters their ban ID, writes their appeal, and staff review it from a list that links back to the original punishment and evidence. Approved appeals lift the ban through the plugin's API. The suite is maintained across Paper releases while subscribed.

Features
- Every action has context
- History, reports and filter hits sit in one GUI per player, so a moderator never punishes without seeing what came before.
- Appeals you can audit
- The appeals form links each request to its ban ID and evidence, and approvals lift the ban through the plugin rather than by hand.
- Consistent punishment ladders
- Templates set the escalation for each offence, so a warn, a day and a week mean the same thing no matter who is on duty.
