====== Discord control and reports ======

Authorized Discord control messages are routed to a selected lobby and checked as MOD or ADMIN. They run on that room's bot thread and reply in the control channel. The control role is separate from osu! account membership and wiki permissions. Use [[moderation:permissions|roles]] and the live ''.help2'' response to check access. The bot may ask you to retry most commands while referee recovery is in progress; it explicitly says when nothing executed.

Moderator reports are Discord-only: ''.overview'' defaults to 24h; ''.activity'', ''.players'', ''.ratings'', ''.retention'', and ''.mapstats'' default to 7d. Each accepts ''24h'', ''7d'', ''30d'', or ''all''. ''.who'' shows recently observed active players and spectators for that room. ''.apiusage'' reports shared osu! API use, and ''.lazerstatus'' reports the shared coordinator. Keep reports in authorized channels; the public [[statistics:start|statistics]] page uses a separate privacy-filtered export.

A Discord ADMIN may use ''.say <message>'' to relay a message to the selected lobby, and ''.shutdown all'' or ''.shutdown <room>'' for intentional shutdown. ''.close'' affects only the selected lobby; ''.closewhenempty'' waits for players to leave. Admins also have [[moderation:room_flow|room controls]] and [[moderation:feedback|access/feedback controls]]. Verify the selected room before any action that interrupts players.

Discord community access for players is via the site's top Discord link or [[commands:discord|.discord]]. That public invite is distinct from staff control authorization.
