Block Command

About the command

The Block Command prevents specific users from using the bot on your server. Blocked users can't execute commands, vote in polls, or change their existing votes. You can provide a public reason that the user will see and optionally set a time limit - either temporary or permanent. This is useful for managing problematic users without removing them from your server.

info

Users with Manage Server or higher permissions cannot be blocked.
Additionally, a user cannot block themselves.
