Quarantine

A reversible "isolate this member" action that strips their roles, gives them a single Quarantine role, and lets staff release them later. The safer alternative to a fast-trigger ban.

Why quarantine instead of ban

• Reversible. Wrong call? Click release. They get all their roles back.
• Survives rejoin. If they leave and rejoin, the quarantine is re-applied so they don't bypass it.
• Time-bounded. Set an auto-release in N minutes/hours; or leave it indefinite for manual review.
• Audit-friendly. Every quarantine action is logged with reason + actor.

Settings

Setting	What it does
Enabled	Master switch.
Quarantine role	The single role given to quarantined members. They should have access to nothing except a Quarantine channel where you can talk to them.
Log channel	Where quarantine + release events post.
Auto-create role	If the Quarantine role doesn't exist, Phantom creates it. Default ON.
Remove other roles	Strip every other role on quarantine. Default ON. (This is what makes them "isolated" — without it, they keep their existing access.)
Restore roles on release	Restore the original role list on release. Default ON. Backed by the same engine that powers Role Persistence.
Persist across rejoin	If they leave and rejoin, re-apply quarantine. Default ON.
Default duration	Pre-fills the duration input on the manual quarantine form. 0 = no auto-release.

How to set up

1. Open Security → Quarantine.
2. Either pick an existing Quarantine role or leave it blank and let Phantom auto-create one.
3. In Discord, set the Quarantine role's permissions to deny everything except viewing the #quarantine channel (or whatever you name it).
4. Set channel-by-channel overrides on the rest of your channels to deny the Quarantine role.
5. Enable and save.

Quarantining a member

Three ways:

• Manually from the dashboard — Security → Quarantine → Add member.
• From User Lookup — pick the member → Quarantine button.
• Auto-quarantine — when Anti-Raid or Firewall action is quarantine.

Releasing

Click Release on the dashboard. Their original roles come back (if restore_roles_on_release is on) and the Quarantine role is removed. They get a DM if your Anti-Scam-style DM-on-action is enabled.

Limits

• 5,000 quarantined users tracked at once (older auto-prune).

Permissions

• security.view — see the list
• security.edit — quarantine + release

Behaviour

• The member's original roles are snapshotted on quarantine and restored on release.
• A quarantined user who leaves and rejoins is re-quarantined automatically (if persist_across_rejoin is on).
• Auto-release fires within a minute of the expiry.
