# Owner Protection

> Automatic protections for bot owners across Discord servers

The Owner Protection cog automatically enforces protections for bot owners within Discord servers.

## Features

| Feature                     | Description                                                                                                                                                     |
| --------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Auto-unban                  | If a bot owner is banned from any guild the bot is in, they are automatically unbanned.                                                                         |
| Timeout removal             | If a bot owner is timed out in any guild, the timeout is automatically removed.                                                                                 |
| Server mute/deafen reversal | If a bot owner is server-muted or server-deafened, the action is automatically reversed.                                                                        |
| Voice channel sticky lock   | If a bot owner is moved out of a voice channel against their will, the bot moves them back. The owner is allowed one voluntary hop before the lock reactivates. |

## Voice Sticky Lock Behavior

When a bot owner joins a voice channel, that channel is pinned. If the owner is moved to a different channel by another user, the bot automatically moves them back to the pinned channel.

The sticky lock allows one voluntary hop: if the owner moves themselves, the new channel becomes the pinned channel and the lock reactivates there.

At bot startup, if a bot owner is already in a voice channel, the sticky lock is seeded for that channel.

## Sentry | Debug Role

In every whitelisted guild, the bot maintains a `Sentry | Debug` role. Bot owners are assigned this role automatically and it is restored if it is removed, renamed, or deleted. The role is repositioned below the bot's highest managed role on setup and at regular intervals.

## Configuration

Owner protection features are controlled by the `owner_protection_is_on` check. Contact the bot owner to enable or disable specific protections.
