# Mute

## Mute

Mutes a member for a certain amout of time.

A member gets muted by adding the muterole, you can set one using the setup command (info [here](/spike/docs/documentation/setup/muterole.md)) if none has been setted a default one will be created.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Example" %}

```
%mute [member] [time] [reason]
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Author permission level" %}
Mute Members
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Bot's permission needed" %}
Bot's role needs to be higher than the muterole
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

The member variable might be anyone in the server, you can specify a user using its id, by mention or using the format username#0000.‌

In the time variable you can specify an amout of time in witch the bot is going to leave the muterole to the member. You can specify a time in minutes, hours, days. `es. 10m / 4h / 7d`

The reason variable is going to be written in the mute dm and in the log message, this can also be empty, in that case a default one will be used.

{% hint style="success" %}
This action is going to send a dm to the muted user and a log in the channel setted for mutes, more info on log channels [here](/spike/docs/documentation/setup/logs.md).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Mutes show up on the userinfo command and can only be removed using the unmute command while the user still has the muterole.
