Mutes & Timeouts
Temporary silences that expire on their own, using Discord timeouts or a mute role.
Two ways to silence someone
/timeout uses Discord's native timeout — the member can't talk, react or join voice anywhere in the server, and Discord enforces it. Maximum 28 days. This is the right tool almost always.
/mute uses a mute role instead. Useful when you want a custom silence — for example muting someone in text but leaving voice alone, or applying restrictions Discord's timeout doesn't cover. It depends on the role's channel permissions being set correctly.
Both expire on their own; /untimeout lifts a timeout early.
Worth knowing
- Timeouts are visible to the member — Discord tells them they're timed out and when it ends. A mute role is quieter.
- Cyndrix's role must sit above the mute role, or it can't apply it.
- Timeouts applied by anyone — including by hand through Discord — appear in your Mod Log if the Members module is on.
