Info
The details, without the sales pitch.
Everything a community owner tends to want to know before handing a bot permission to ban people.
At a glance
| Version | 26.92 |
|---|---|
| Platform | Osmium, via the public API |
| Live since | July 2026 |
| Hosting | Single server, New York, United States |
| Commands | 93, across 7 categories |
| Default prefix | !, changeable per community; mentioning the bot always works |
| Cost | Free. No paid tier, no vote locks, no premium commands |
| Maintainer | Ruby (Aubergine-UX) |
| Status page | None. !ping and !uptime are the honest answer |
Permissions it asks for
Mjerg requests what it needs to run every category. If you're only after part of it, you can safely withhold the rest. The commands that need a missing permission will say so instead of failing silently.
| Read & send messages | Required. Without it, nothing works at all |
|---|---|
| Manage messages | Purge, pin, snipe, sticky messages, automod deletions |
| Manage roles | Auto-roles, reaction roles, level roles, !role |
| Ban & kick members | Moderation commands only. Drop it if you don't want the bot able to ban |
| Manage nicknames | !nick only |
| Add reactions | Polls, reaction roles, starboard |
| View audit log | !auditlog only |
Mjerg's own role has to sit above anyone it's expected to moderate. This is an Osmium rule, not a Mjerg one, and it's the cause of most "the bot won't ban them" reports.
What it stores
Mjerg has to see message content to spot commands, count XP, run the counting game and apply automod. Seeing is not keeping. This is what actually gets written down:
| Community & channel IDs | So settings can be looked up. Kept while Mjerg is in the community |
|---|---|
| Your settings | Prefix, channels, automod rules, triggers, tags, sticky messages |
| Moderation records | Warnings and their reasons, with who issued them and when |
| Levelling & economy | XP totals and coin balances per member, per community |
| Things people asked it to keep | Quotes, tags, reminders, birthdays, AFK notes |
| Snipe cache | The most recent deleted and edited message per channel, in memory only. Gone on restart |
| Ordinary message text | Not stored |
| Voice audio | Never accessed. !voice reads channel membership, not sound |
| Sold or shared with anyone | No. Not for ads, not for training, not for anything |
Remove Mjerg and its stored data for your community is deleted. If you want that done sooner, or want a copy of what's held first, email works.
Not planned
Worth saying out loud so nobody waits on it:
- A web dashboard
- Music playback
- A paid tier of any shape
- Cross-community data sharing
