UwU lock

Lock yourself, or a friend, into uwu-speak for a few minutes. A joke command that a server turns on first.

2 min read · Updated 13 October 2026

/uwulock makes someone talk in uwu-speak for a few minutes. While a person is locked, Sigil removes each text message they send and posts it again in uwu-speak, under their own name and picture. Discord marks a message sent this way with its own BOT tag.

It is off until the server turns it on: a server manager switches UwU lock on in the dashboard's General tab.

Use it like this What happens
/uwulock Locks you for 10 minutes. Anyone can lock themselves.
/uwulock minutes:30 Locks you for 30 minutes (1 to 60).
/uwulock user:@friend Locks someone else. You need Manage Messages.
/uwulock stop:True Ends your lock. A person can always end their own, and Manage Messages ends anyone's.
  • People who manage the server or its messages, and bots, can never be locked by someone else.
  • Only plain text is rewritten. A picture or a sticker is left alone.
  • Mentions in a rewritten message never ping anyone.
  • Sigil needs Manage Messages and Manage Webhooks in the channel, to remove a message and post it again under the person's name.
  • At most 25 people can be locked in a server at once. Switching the feature off ends every lock.

Discord only shows a bot what a message says when its Message Content setting is on, so this command only works while that is switched on for Sigil, and it tells you when it is not.
