PollUnban

The pollunban command (also available as pub) allows server moderators to lift a previously applied poll restriction from a member, restoring their ability to use Tux's poll creation features.

Syntax

The pollunban command can be used in two ways:

Slash Command:

Text Only
/pollunban member:@user [reason:STRING] [silent:true/false]

Prefix Command:

Text Only
$pollunban @user [reason] [-silent]

Aliases:

  • pub

Parameters

Parameter Type Required Description
member Member Yes The member to restore poll access for.

Flags

This command supports the following flags:

Flag Type Default Description
reason String No reason provided The reason for the poll unban (positional).
-silent Boolean False If true, Tux will not attempt to DM the user.

reason

The reason for restoring poll access, logged in the moderation case and included in the DM notification. In the prefix command, this is a positional flag. In slash commands, it is a standard argument.

  • Type: String

Whether to suppress the DM notification to the user.

  • Type: Boolean
  • Default: False
  • Aliases: -s, -quiet

Permissions

Bot Permissions

Tux requires no special Discord permissions for this command, as it is handled internally via its database.

User Permissions

Users need appropriate moderation permissions to use this command.

Permission System

Command permissions are configured per-guild using Tux's dynamic permission system. Configure via /config commands or see the Permission Configuration guide.

Usage Examples

Response

When executed successfully, Tux will:

  1. Update its internal database to remove the poll ban for the user.
  2. Attempt to DM the user informing them they can once again create polls (unless -silent is used).
  3. Create a new moderation case for the poll unban.
  4. Post a confirmation message in the current channel.
  5. Log the action in the designated moderation log channel.
