Ban commands: Ban commands work for online and offline players and accept presets, custom durations, and reasons.
Mute commands: The plugin provides mute and unmute commands using the ban preset system.
Chat filter: Its chat filter detects configured words with case-insensitive matching and leetspeak normalization, and sends staff clickable ban and mute notifications.
Automatic bans: Three filter violations within 24 hours trigger an automatic 24-hour ban; a racism-category violation triggers a permanent ban on the first offense.

Logs: The `/banlogs` command displays ban and mute history, with the last 10 entries listed.
