Fake permissions prevent a rogue moderator from using native Discord features directly. A staff member granted ban_members via fake permissions can use raze’s ;ban command, but cannot use Discord’s native ban feature. This means all moderation goes through raze — logged, auditable, and controllable.
When a role has a fake permission like ban_members, members with that role can use raze commands that require that permission. They still have no native Discord permissions — raze enforces the check internally on every command invocation.
