Role Hierarchy Rule for Statbot
The single most common complaint server admins make is that Statbot fails to assign roles, timeout troublemakers, or kick spam accounts. In 99% of cases, the cause is Discord Role Hierarchy:
1. Open Discord Server Settings and select Roles.
2. Locate the automated integration role labeled Statbot.
3. Drag Statbot higher on the list than any member, muted, or leveling roles it needs to assign.
Keep Statbot below your Server Owner and Senior Administrator roles so the bot cannot accidentally modify executive staff accounts.

Common Glitches & 60-Second Fixes for Statbot

Chat Channel Flooding
Create a #bot-commands channel and set a 10-second slowmode so members do not trigger multiple bot replies at the same time in general discussion.
Security & Bot Channel Architecture Guide
Proper channel layout prevents server chaos and stops bad actors from misusing bot commands. Here is how top Discord communities organize Statbot:
1. Isolate Bot Commands
Create a dedicated channel like #bot-commands. Disable Statbot slash command permissions across general chat so normal conversations remain neat and readable.
2. Hidden Mod Log Archive
Never make audit logs public. Direct all moderation notifications to a private staff channel visible strictly to moderators and server administrators.
3. Monthly Permission Audits
Every 30 days, review your Server Settings > Integrations list. Remove any experimental or unused bots to eliminate unnecessary security entry points.
Setup FAQ & Troubleshooting
Does Statbot count deleted messages in its server activity totals?
Yes. Statbot counts messages at the moment they are sent, so overall community activity totals remain accurate even if messages are later purged.
How does Statbot track member voice channel time?
Statbot records when members enter and exit voice lounges, tallying active minutes spent in voice without recording audio content.
Does Statbot record or read the private text of messages?
No. Statbot only tracks numerical metadata (message counts, timestamps, channel IDs, user IDs) and never stores message contents.
How long does Statbot store server history on the free plan?
The free tier provides 14 to 30 days of rolling activity charts. Statbot Upgrades allow permanent historical data retention.
Can I display live server stats in voice channel names?
Yes. Statbot includes Statdocks, which turn locked voice channels into live counters showing total members, online users, or bot counts.
Why are recent messages not showing up immediately in Statbot stats?
Statbot processes server events through a high-volume queuing pipeline. Stats typically update within 1 to 2 minutes of real-time activity.
