Fixing Discord Auto-Mod Permission Errors | CommunityOne
Summary
The CommunityOne Builders Help server is addressing a recurring issue where auto-mod bots fail to timeout users despite having full administrator privileges. This discussion highlights a widespread technical bug affecting multiple servers, causing confusion regarding role hierarchy and permission settings. The community is actively investigating the root cause, with internal reports already submitted to ensure a fix is pushed to resolve these persistent moderation errors.
Hey, we just hit a weird issue with the auto-mod. The bot tried to timeout a user for spamming but failed, showing a "missing permission or higher role" error.
To test if it was actually a permission issue, I gave the bot full Administrator privileges, and its role is already way higher than the user in the hierarchy—but it still gives the exact same error. Any idea why this is happening?
This is correct! Thanks for helping out!

it looks like that we have this issue on our own server too, we are looking into it
Yes, they are really good
good to know it's not just us. To be honest, I've been seeing this happen for over two weeks now, but I just assumed I messed up the permissions on my end!
Oh, and what about my idea here?
I think it could be really useful https://discord.com/channels/943932308283588628/1519646229628452874/1519646229628452874

I think it could be really useful
It seems the bot doesn't like me sending a link to a message
But I mean the idea I wrote in the other room
omg me too, i noticed it last week, i changed the permissions of our server and I didnt notice that its not working until just now
somehow I missed it! Yep, this is a good detail, i made a issue internally, i think this will be pushed soon
