ModerationTools Module

The ModerationTools Module is an optional Carbon module that provides built-in chat and console moderation tools for administrators. It includes commands for muting, unmuting, banning, kicking, and toggling developer (cadmin) mode with permission-based access control.

Note: This module is useful for admins and moderators but is not required for plugin operation.

Overview

• Class Name: ModerationToolsModule
• Enabled by default: No
• Supports Configuration: Yes
• Source: Carbon.Modules/ModerationToolsModule

This module adds a powerful yet lightweight moderation layer to your Rust server, directly usable through chat and console commands.

Configuration

The config is defined in ModerationToolsConfig:

{
  "Moderation": {
    "/cadmin command": "cadmin",
    "/cadmin command cooldown (ms)": 5000,
    "/cadmin permission (developer)": "carbon.cadmin",
    "/cmod permission (mute, kick, ban)": "carbon.cmod"
  }
}

Permissions

• carbon.cadmin: Required to toggle developer (cadmin) mode.

You must grant these permissions manually via the carbon.grant or c.grant command or your preferred permission manager.
