Mute and jail

Text, image, and reaction mutes, plus a jail room. Timeouts are separate.

You will

Mute, image mute, jail, and timeout each do a different job, and you can test all four.

Examples on this site start with a comma. Your server can use a different prefix. Change it with `,prefix` or in Basics if you own the server.

Create the roles and rooms. setupmute makes muted, imuted, rmuted, jailed, a mod category, #jail, and #jail-log. It reuses names that already exist.
```
,setupmute
```
Text mute. A text mute is a role. It stays until staff unmute. It is not a timed Discord timeout.
```
,mute @user reason
```
Image and reaction mutes. imagemute blocks pictures and embeds. reactionmute blocks adding reactions. Unmute each the same way you applied it.
```
,imagemute @user
```
Jail. Jail moves someone into the jail channel. They keep a jailed role until staff lift it.
```
,jail @user reason
```
Timed timeout. If you need a clock, use timeout. That is Discord timeout, not the mute role.
```
,timeout @user 10m reason
```

,mute @user spam

,jail @user raid

,timeout @user 10m

If they can still talk, the mute role is too low or overwrites are wrong. Move near up, then run setupmute again on a test server first.
Do not give staff Discord Administrator just to mute. Use fake permissions.
