The Discipline plugin provides a structured HR case management system. Every strike, suspension, and termination is logged as a case with a unique case number, full history, and audit trail.
What Discipline adds
- Strike, suspension, and termination case management
- Auto-generated case numbers (e.g.
CASE-0042)
- Severity levels — Low, Medium, High
- Case history per member
- Revocation of strikes and suspensions
- Automatic status changes on suspension and termination
Case types
| Type | Effect |
|---|
| Strike | Logged on the member’s record. No status change. |
| Suspension | Member status set to Suspended. Optional end date for auto-expiry. |
| Termination | Member status set to Terminated. Permanent. Cannot be revoked. |
Opening a case
Members with the relevant discipline permission can open a case from:
- The discipline page — click Open Case
- A member’s profile page — click Issue Discipline
The case form collects:
- Member — who the case is against
- Type — Strike, Suspension, or Termination
- Severity — Low, Medium, or High
- Reason — what happened
- Notes — internal notes not shown to the member
- End date — for suspensions, when the suspension expires (optional)
Once opened, the case is assigned a case number and an email is sent to the member.
Case numbers
Case numbers are sequential per organisation — CASE-0001, CASE-0002, and so on. They never reset. Use case numbers when referencing a case in Discord or communications.
Strikes
Strikes are permanent record entries. They show on the member’s profile as On Record. A strike being on record means it happened and was logged. It can be revoked if issued in error.
Strike decay can be configured — strikes older than a set number of days are considered inactive for eligibility checks in the Rank plugin.
Suspensions
When a suspension is issued, the member’s status immediately changes to Suspended. They cannot access Crewly until the suspension is lifted.
Suspensions can have an end date. When that date passes, Crewly automatically restores the member to Active.
Suspensions can also be manually revoked at any time by a member with the Revoke cases permission.
Terminations
Terminations permanently remove a member’s access. Their status is set to Terminated and cannot be changed. Terminations cannot be revoked — if a member needs to be reinstated, a new membership must be created.
Termination is permanent. There is no undo. The member’s data and case history are preserved, but their access is gone.
Revoking a case
Members with Revoke cases permission can revoke strikes and suspensions. Terminations cannot be revoked.
When revoking:
- The case is marked as Revoked
- For suspensions: the member’s status is restored to Active
- An email is sent to the member
- The action is logged in the audit log
Discipline page
The Discipline page has two zones:
Left sidebar — stats, a severity chart, and a live feed of recent cases
Right panel — the full case table with filters for type, severity, status, and member search. Clicking a case opens an inline drawer with full details.
Case detail page
Each case has its own detail page at /discipline/[CASE-NUMBER] showing:
- Full case information
- Member details and current status
- A timeline of events — opened, reviewed, revoked
- Internal notes
- Quick actions for managers
Settings
Go to Settings → Plugins → Discipline to configure:
- Strike decay — days after which a strike is considered inactive
- Require reason minimum length — minimum characters for the reason field
- Require notes on termination — force internal notes when terminating
- Show case history to members — whether members can see their own cases
