Server Networks
On by defaultRun more than one server? Put them in a network: a permanent ban by a moderator in one server is applied in every server that receives bans, with its own case and audit reason, servers that share cases can look up each other’s history for a member, and roles given in the hub follow members to the servers that accept them. Each server picks what it sends, receives, shares and accepts.

- Open the dashboard and pick your server. Sign in with Discord if you haven’t.

- Go through the settings below. Simple mode shows the essentials; switch to Advanced for the rest.
- Changes apply in your server within a few seconds of saving.
Tips
- Turn on Receive bans only where you trust the other servers’ moderators as much as your own: their bans apply in your server.
- Only permanent bans made by a person travel. Tempbans, automatic bans and bans made in Discord’s own menus stay in their server.
- If your staff unban someone by hand, Kovu never bans them in your server again for that network ban.
- More than 10 network bans from one server in 10 minutes pause that server’s ban sync until its owner, an Administrator there or the network owner resumes it, in case a moderator account is misused.
- Shared cases show the action, reason and date, never notes, evidence or who moderated.
- Leaving keeps every ban the network made in your server: they’re your own bans, with your own cases.
- Role sync works one way, from the hub: a role Kovu gave in your server never counts as a source, and a copy your staff gave by hand is never taken off.
- Pick an anchor role below your staff roles. Kovu creates synced roles right under it with no permissions, and never gives a role with admin or moderation permissions.
- The Network view tab shows every server’s state at a glance: Kovu present, Ban Members and Manage Roles, opt-ins, pauses, bans in the last 30 days and role sync.

- Kovu posts a line here when a network ban lands in this server or ban sync pauses. Empty means no notices.
