Denylists
Configure denylists in /settings > Denylist.
Denylists apply to every way of earning XP, including messages, voice activity, reactions, and XP drops. Kiai supports three types of denylists: Channels, Roles, and Users.
Each denylist type holds up to 25 entries.
Channels
A channel denylist stops XP from being earned in specific channels. You can add text channels, channel categories, voice channels, and forum channels.
Channel denylists work well for channels that:
- Get spammed or flooded often
- Are not meant for meaningful activity
Example:
Add #memes to the channel denylist so members do not earn XP there. This keeps XP focused on channels like #general or #help.
Roles
A role denylist stops XP from being earned by members who hold a specific role.
Example: Add your moderator role to the role denylist so moderators do not earn XP and dominate the leaderboard.
Users
A user denylist stops XP from being earned by a specific member.
User denylists work well for:
- A member who is abusing the XP system
- Disruptive behavior that would unfairly affect a member's progression
Example: A member spams messages to gain XP quickly. Add them to the user denylist to stop further XP gain while keeping the system fair for other members.
