Syntax

How commands read what you type: required and optional parts, durations, flags, and how members, roles and channels are matched.

Reading a command's usage

Written as	Means
`<member>`	Required
`[reason]`	Optional; leave it out and a default is used
`,tickets reason <"claim"\|"close">`	One of the listed words

Durations

Numbers followed by a unit, written together with no spaces. Combine as many as you like: 30m, 1h30m, 2d, 1w2d. The longest is a year.

Unit	Means
`s`	seconds
`m`	minutes
`h`	hours
`d`	days
`w`	weeks

Examples

,timeout @someone 10m being rude
,jail @someone 1d

Flags

Some commands take options written as --name value after everything else, in any order. Phones often turn-- into a long dash (—); that works too.

Examples

,antiraid massjoin on --threshold 8 --do ban --lock true
,filter invites #general on --do warn
,welcome add #welcome Hi {user.mention}! --self_destruct 30

--do picks what happens to someone who triggers a protection. Each feature lists the actions it allows; all of them come from this set: warn, jail, kick, ban, delete, stripstaff.

Members, roles and channels

A mention, an ID or the exact name works in any command. Some commands also accept part of a name:

Commands that punish someone or give roles or permissions (,ban, ,role, ,fakepermissions add…) only accept a mention, an ID or the exact name, so a typo can never hit the wrong person or role.
Commands that only look something up (,userinfo, ,roleinfo…) also accept part of a name: ,userinfo mel finds melly.
IDs: turn on Developer Mode (User Settings → Advanced), then right-click → Copy ID.

Message links

Where a command asks for a message, paste its link (right-click → Copy Message Link). It has to be from this server, in a channel you can read.

Replying instead of typing

Many commands can take what they need from the message you reply to. Anything you type still comes first.

Reply to	Works with	Example
A message, instead of its link	Giveaways, embeds, pagination, reactions, button and reaction roles, pin	`,giveaway reroll 2`
A message's text	translate, tts, uwu, freaky, reverse, define, urban, factcheck, tldr, explain, detect	`,translate fr`
An emoji or sticker	emoji, emoji add, emoji addmany, emoji info, sticker add	`,emoji add cool`
Someone, instead of mentioning them	avatar, userinfo, profile, balance, levels, invites, Last.fm and other look-ups	`,avatar`

,ask reads the message you reply to as well, so ,ask what does this mean? works. Commands that punish or change someone never pick them from a reply: they always need them named.

On and off

Settings that switch something on or off understand: on = 1 enable enabled on true y yes; off = 0 disable disabled false n no off.

Colours

A hex code like #5865f2 (the # is optional, and short codes like #fff work), or one of these names:
