# Muting & Unmuting

Sly allows you to safely mute bad confessions without revealing the author's name. Once muted, The author of confession will not be able to post any confessions in the server.

### Muting a confession

To mute a confession, You need the confession ID. Confession ID is four digit number that is found on top of the confession embed, As in below image:

{% hint style="info" %}
Do not include the "#" (hash) in your IDs. For example: "#9883" is wrong, "9883" is right.
{% endhint %}

Then use the command:

```
sly mute-confession <ID>
```

Replace the \<ID> with the confession ID, Don't literally type out the <>, Just do `sly mute-confession 9883` for example.

And the confession is muted! Confession Author will not be able to confess again. :)

### Unmuting a confession

Unmuting process is similar, Simply run the `unmute-confession` command with the same ID as the one used for muting.

```
sly unmute-confession <ID>
```

Replace the \<ID> with the confession ID, Don't literally type out the <>, Just do `sly unmute-confession 9883` for example.

And the confession is unmuted! Confession Author will now be able to post confessions! yay!
