FAQ
Is Phantom free?
Right now, yes — every feature, no exceptions. Phantom is in early access; that includes the AI ticket helper (Auto-Assist) and Custom Branding which are expected to become paid at launch but are free today.
There's no per-server fee, no per-member fee, no time-limited trial.
Launch pricing for premium features is TBD — see Pricing & early access for what's coming and how you'll find out about it.
Do I need to host the bot?
No. Phantom is a managed service. You add it to your server and configure it from the dashboard.
Can I have Phantom in multiple servers?
Yes, unlimited. Each server is configured independently — except for Cross-Server Sync which lets you share rules across a network of your own servers.
Who can use the dashboard?
Two paths:
- Discord Administrator or guild owner on the server.
- Anyone holding a Discord role mapped to a Team Role with at least one permission granted.
Members with no admin and no team role can't reach the dashboard.
My moderator can't see the dashboard
Either:
- They don't have Discord Administrator → they need a team role. See Team Roles.
- They're not in the same Discord server as you → they need to be a member there first.
My trial mod can see automod / security but shouldn't
Their team role grants the relevant .view permission. Open Team Roles → edit their team role → uncheck the permissions you don't want them to have.
Can a member level up without ever talking?
Yes, via voice XP — configurable in XP rules. Toggle off "Count alone" / "Count muted" / "Count deafened" to require active voice participation.
How do I reset everyone's XP?
Levelling → Leaderboard → server-wide reset button. Requires levelling.edit.
Phantom isn't responding to commands
Check in order:
- Bot is online (check the Phantom user in your member list).
- The command's module isn't disabled in Guild Settings → Modules.
- The channel isn't in the Ignored channels list.
- You're not in the Ignored users list.
- The command isn't gated by
bot_commands_channel(which restricts where commands work). - Your team role has the required permission.
If still stuck → check Error Log — that's where misconfiguration surfaces.
Phantom moderated someone unfairly. How do I undo it?
- For warnings:
/pmod editcase <id>or/pmod deletecase <id>. - For timeouts:
/pmod untimeout @user. - For kicks: nothing to undo on Discord's side; they can rejoin.
- For bans:
/pmod unban <user_id>. - For Quarantine: hit the Release button on the dashboard.
How do I see what Phantom did when?
- Logging — every bot action mirrored to your configured channel.
- Audit Log — security-side events (raids, scans).
- Cases page — every moderation case.
- Error Log — bot errors with fixes.
Can I run Phantom under my own bot name?
Yes — Custom Branding. Premium feature.
How do I export my data?
Most pages have an Export button (CSV). Some examples:
- Moderation cases → Cases page → Export.
- Suggestions → Suggestions page → Export.
- Reviews → Reviews page → Export.
- Audit Log → Audit page → Export.
If you need a full database dump, contact support via Discord.
How long is my data retained?
- Moderation cases: forever (you can delete individually).
- Automod hits: 30 days.
- Audit log: configurable, max 365 days.
- Server backups: 25 most recent (older auto-prune; pin to keep).
- Tickets transcripts: 90 days (configurable).
- Quarantined users: 5,000 most recent.
- Levelling XP: forever (unless
reset_on_leaveis on). - Economy ledger: forever.
My server got blacklisted by Phantom. What now?
Contact us via Discord. We'll explain why and what's needed to lift it. Usually it's a TOS violation; sometimes a false positive from automated scoring.
Is Phantom open source?
Parts are. Check the GitHub for what's public.
How do I report a bug?
Discord. We respond within hours during waking-business-hours.
