📣 Users can now appeal their bans

Using this brand new innovative system, users are able to submit appeals to their bans which the moderation team can respond to

🔍 Appeal Process Overview

• Upon getting banned, users are sent a ban message with an appeal button below it.
• When they press this button, they'll be invited to the Leonardo.Ai Appeals server, where they'll find only one channel with a button to appeal.
• Clicking this button will cause a modal to come up, where users enter why they should be unbanned.
• After submitting the appeal, it will be sent to the #🤖│verro-moderation channel on the Leonardo.Ai Discord server.

🛠️ Staff Actions on Appeal

• The appeal report lists past offenses of the user so staff can easily see why the user was banned, as well as their name and message.
• The appeal report also has 3 buttons available: "Approve", "Deny" and "Request Chat".

💬 Request Chat

• The request chat button will create a ticket in the Leonardo.Ai Appeals server, which staff and the appealing member have access to.
• In this channel, staff can talk to the user about their appeal (for example, ask a hacked user to enable 2FA) before making a decision.

⚖️ Final Decision

• The Approve button will kick the user from the appeal server after unbanning and DMing them.
• The Deny button will ban the user from the appeal server as well.

This system ensures a smooth appeal process for both users and staff. By preventing the need of an external website or form and enabling the possibility of engaging in a conversation with the appealing user, this system is more advanced and easier to use than the appeal system of most bots.

📣 Daily Missions and the Weekly Leaderboard

🛠️ Introducing AI Automoderation

Our innovative AI automoderation system detects messages and allows staff to handle them efficiently

🔍 Message Detection

• The system automatically detects messages that are deemed rulebreaking.
• Messages containing scams, hate speech, NSFW content, and more are flagged.
• Detection includes phishing attempts, mass pings, and personal information sharing.
• Based on the category, Verrocchio takes different actions such as deleting the message and sending a warning.
• The most severe action Verrocchio takes on its own is timing the user out (in case of hate speech, scams, etc.) so a moderator has time to review the situation.
• Verrocchio can also modify rulebreaking nicknames. In this case it modifies the nickname to a variant of the name that doesn't break rules anymore.
• Scams are added to a registry which is used to instantly delete any known scams without having to scan the messages again.

🛠️ Staff Actions on Detected Messages

• Staff can see a detailed report of the detected message and the content of the message.
• The report provides several buttons to handle the situation, such as 'Remove Timeout', 'Kick' and 'Ban'.
• Sometimes, a scam message might be improperly flagged by Verrocchio as NSFW or another category. In this case a moderator can mark it as a scam so it still gets added to the detected scams list.
• All actions taken are shown in the report, including the name of the moderator who executed them.
• Once a moderator handled the report, they can mark the report as handled upon which it will be closed and the buttons will be removed.

This module ensures any rulebreaking messages by newcomers (who are responsible for almost all rulebreaking messages) are instantly dealt with, to avoid inconveniencing the community. It is extremely effective and lets virtually nothing through, making moderation much more efficient.
