Moderation Tools

Opened this issue · 1 comments

I have had some experience as a discord moderator, and I believe these tools would be useful for the decentralized moderation that the Dual Power App allows.

  • Temp mutes
  • Temp bans
  • Rehabilitation channels
  • Opt-in method to not see rehabilitation channels

To elaborate on rehabilitation channels, the purpose is to facilitate rehabilitative justice. They would be created on demand when the dual power org decides someone needs to be rehabilitated, so as to keep different rehabilitations separate. The member being rehabilitated would be confined to their rehabilitation channel until the dual power org elects to release them. By default, those channels are open to everyone, but users may opt to not see them. I want to stress that this is meaningfully different than jail or prison because the decisions are made by the community rather than police, and the member being rehabilitated is only isolated from normal dual power functions and not from the community. Rehabilitation requires community engagement and this facilitates that.
