Sticky roles matter for moderation as much as convenience: without them, a muted member can
clear a punishment by leaving and rejoining. Delayed roles are a lightweight verification gate
— access after fifteen minutes filters out most drive-by raid accounts without a captcha.

**Vetox** ships self-roles on the free tier, with sticky and delayed roles on Basic.
