====== Moderator handbook ======

This handbook covers the v6.6.17 room controls for authorized osu! moderators and administrators. Start with [[moderation:permissions|roles and permissions]], then use the task-specific pages below. The bot checks the account or authorized Discord role before executing a staff command. Type ''.help2'' while signed in to see the current role-specific list.

  * [[moderation:room_flow|Room flow and recovery]] — start, abort, force skip, restart, and close.
  * [[moderation:tuning|Live room settings]] — map range, length, queue depth, votes, timers, and chat controls.
  * [[moderation:feedback|Feedback management]] — admin-only rating filtering and irreversible purge.
  * [[moderation:discord|Discord control and reports]] — authorized remote commands and reporting.

For ordinary player controls, use [[commands:start|the player command reference]]. For observed room state and settings, use [[status:start|Live lobbies]]. For symptoms, start at [[troubleshooting:start|troubleshooting]]. A wiki editor account never grants bot moderator rights.
