Evidence
Keep a copy of a member's recent messages with every moderation case, so you still have the proof after they delete them, and add more messages to a case by hand.
By the end, you'll have
- Recent messages saved automatically with every warning, timeout, kick and ban
- A searchable list of all captured evidence on the dashboard
- The ability to add specific messages to a case yourself
Before you start
- Infractions set up, since evidence is attached to its cases.
- A server log channel or message logging turned on, so Dreamliner has messages to copy.
- Manage Server, so you can open the dashboard.
When someone is moderated, the messages that caused it often vanish: the member deletes them, or they're cleaned up. Evidence keeps a copy with the case, so anyone reviewing it later, including on an appeal, can see what happened.
The last 20 stored messages are saved with each case.
Long enough for appeals and reviews.
Filter by member on the dashboard.
Step 1 · about 1 min
Turn on evidence capture
Make sure each case saves messages.
- On the dashboard, open Moderation → Infractions.
- Switch on Evidence Capture Enabled and press Save.
- Check you have a log channel or message logging on. Dreamliner can only copy messages it has stored.
Step 2 · about 1 min
Browse captured evidence
Find the proof for a case.
Open Moderation → Evidence. Each entry shows the case and the saved messages. Type in Filter by member to narrow it down, and press Refresh for new captures.
| Detail | Value |

Step 3 · about 2 min
Add messages to a case yourself
Attach specific messages as evidence.
Use /evidence add to attach between 1 and 50 messages to a case.
You're set up
What you just did
- Turned on evidence capture
- Learned where to browse it
- Gave your team permission to add evidence by hand
Evidence is especially useful for Appeals, where reviewers need to see what happened.
Common questions
A case has no evidence.
Dreamliner had no stored messages from that member, usually because there was no log channel or message logging when they chatted.
Can I keep evidence longer than 42 days?
Not at the moment. Copy anything you need to keep into your own records.
