How do I turn on Give the Inactive role automatically?

With Activity Tracking on, the bot hands your Inactive role, once a day, to everyone who has been completely silent for longer than your quiet-days limit. Be slower with this one than with its opposite — it labels people publicly.

Where to find it

On the website: open your league, click Moderation in the sidebar, open the Active Check tab, and scroll to the Activity Tracking card.

In the app: More → Moderation → pick Active Check from the "Choose a section" menu → the Activity Tracking card.

What it does

Once a day, the bot gives the Inactive role to everyone who has said and done nothing — no messages, no reactions, no voice chat — for longer than Quiet For This Long Is Inactive allows. It takes the Active role off them at the same time.

Step by step

  1. Pick an Inactive Role under Front Office → Special Roles.
  2. Go to Moderation → Active Check and find the Activity Tracking card.
  3. Open What Counts As Active and set Quiet For This Long Is Inactive to a number you are comfortable defending. It starts at 14 days.
  4. Tell your league what the role means before you turn anything on.
  5. Turn on both Activity Tracking switches — the master one on the Features page and the one on this card — check Give The Inactive Role is on, and press Save Activity Tracking.

Think before you switch it on

This one is public. A member who is quiet but playing every game does not enjoy being labelled inactive in front of the league, and that conversation is much harder than picking a generous number first.

Start with the quiet-days limit longer than you think you need — 14 days is the starting value for a reason — and shorten it later if the role is not catching anyone. The sweep runs once a day, and it takes the role back off as soon as somebody is active again.

Common problems

  • Half my league got the role overnight. Your quiet-days limit is too short. Turn the switch off, raise the number, save, and turn it back on.
  • The bot cannot add the role. The bot's own role has to sit above the Inactive role in Discord's role list.
  • Somebody came back and still has it. It clears on the next daily sweep once they are active again.
  • Can I exempt somebody? Not from this switch. Commissioners tend to handle known absences by hand instead.
  • I can't see the Moderation page. If you are a helper rather than the licence owner, the owner grants access under Front Office → League Access.
