Adjusting Role Position
To function properly, the Hashbot role must be positioned above any role it needs to moderate, including:- Member roles
- Verified or Holder roles
- Custom roles assigned to regular users
- Roles assigned to bots that Hashbot may act upon
Why this matters:
Discord does not allow a bot to moderate (kick, ban, timeout, etc.) users whose roles are equal to or higher than its own.

How to adjust role position:
- Open your Server Settings
- Navigate to the Roles section
- Drag the Hashbot role above the roles it needs to manage
- Click Save Changes
Working with Other Bots
Some moderation tools—like Wick, Beemo, or Sentry—may restrict or quarantine new bots by default. To prevent permission conflicts:- Add Hashbot to any Trusted Admin list or allowlists maintained by other bots
- Ensure the Hashbot role is higher than other bot roles in your role hierarchy
- Confirm that no automation is muting, timing out, or stripping permissions from Hashbot
- Avoid overlapping moderation triggers (e.g., two bots banning on join), which can create instability or duplication
