# Silentdeny

#### Description

The `silentdeny` is very similar to the [deny](/docs/v1/staff/deny.md) command. The only difference between the two is that this command **does not** post the suggestion to the denied suggestions feed. It will still DM the user who submitted it, though.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Once a suggestion is denied, it is denied forever. It cannot be approved from the denied state.
{% endhint %}

#### Required Arguments 

* `suggestion id` - A number that represents the suggestion's ID

{% hint style="warning" %}
This command only works on suggestions that are **awaiting review**.
{% endhint %}

#### Optional Arguments

* `reason` - Reason for denying the suggestion

#### Usage

```
.silentdeny [suggestion id] (reason)
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Arguments in `[brackets]` are required, while arguments in `(parenthesis)` are optional.
{% endhint %}

#### Permission Required

Any user with the **Manage Server** permission, the configured admin role, or the configured review role can use this command.
