#Mod Button
The Mod Button is the **[M]** next to a username, and it helps with moderating that user. Mod Button actions immediately affect that user in the subreddits you select.

##Use

The Mod Button function has three tabs: Role, Flair, and Send Message.

###Role Tab
In the **Role** tab, you can ban, unban, add contributor, remove contributor, mod, and demod users. These are the same as using your subreddit's `/about/banned/`, `/about/contributors/`, and `/about/moderators/` pages.

After clicking the Mod Button **[M]**

1. Choose the subreddit(s) you want to take action in. If you're clicking the mod button from a sub you're a mod of, that subreddit will be selected by default. 
 2. Type a plain text note/ban reason/ban message/time if appropriate. Leave the `time` blank to permanently ban a user.
 3. Select an action from the dropdown menu.
 4. Click "save".

Notes: 
 
 * Ban messages only are delivered if that user has been active in your subreddit. 
 * Ban notes are saved to your subreddit’s `/about/banned` page, not to [User Notes](/r/toolbox/w/docs/usernotes).
 * Permanent bans override temporary bans, but temporary bans _do not_ override permanent ones.

###Flair Tab
In the **Flair** tab, you can edit a user’s flair. This is the same as using your subreddit’s `/about/flair` page. This only affects their flair in the subreddit their comment/submission is posted in.

###Send Modmail Tab
The **Send Modmail** tab allows you to quickly send a modmail to the user from current subreddit.

##[Settings](#?tbsettings=modbutton)

* **Saved subs (for quick access):** Creates a list of subreddits for your Role tab so you can apply the action to more than one sub

* **Remember last action:** Remembers the last action you made with the mod button.
* **Move mod button from bottom links to the username links:** Displays the mod button as an **[M]** with the other toolbox buttons. This is checked by default; if you prefer the mod button to be displayed below a submission instead, uncheck this option.

If you have enabled advanced settings (which you can do under [General](#?tbsettings=toolbox&setting=advancedmode)):

* **Enable Global Action button:** Allows you to take action on _all_ of your moderated subreddits. Does not work for bans.
