One of the core components of the bot is the fact that the administrators can configure various aspects of the bot to their liking. From the suggestions channel to DM responses, you can take control of your server's experience.
With Discord's slash commands, it's easy to configure the bot with readable and UI-friendly commands and options.
Configuring the bot is really easy. The format goes as:
- To view the current configuration, run
/config get. - To view the information of a specific option, run
/config get [option]. The bot will give you a list of all available options to choose from. - To set a specific option, run
/config <option> <value>.
Here is an overview of all the configurable options. Keep scrolling for more information about each option.
Configuration for Suggestions
Suggestions channel:Log channel:
Dm responses: I will DM users on actions such as suggest
I will create threads for new suggestions
Suggestion logs will be kept in your logs channel.
Suggestions Channel
Usage: /config get config:Suggestions channel (to view) or /config channel channel:<channel> (to set)
You can either view or set the channel where suggestions will be posted. You will be able to choose from a list of text channels in your server.
Suggestions Logs Channel
Usage: /config get config:Log channel (to view) or /config logs channel:<channel> (to set)
You can either view or set the channel where suggestion results will be posted after a suggestion is approved or denied. The options to pass through follow the same as setting the Suggestions Channel.
DM Responses
Usage: /config get config:Dm responses (to view) or /config dm <enable|disable> (to set)
You can either view if DM responses are enabled/disabled or enable/disable them if you wish.
When disabling DM responses, the bot won't DM the user on these actions:
- A suggestion is submitted (an ephemeral message will be sent instead)
- A suggestion is approved
- A suggestion is rejected
Users are also able to configure their own DM settings using the /dm <enable|disable> command. This allows a user to choose their own preferences. However, they cannot override your server's settings.
This means if you disabled DMs via the /config command, the user will not be able to receive them if they tried to enable them.
Suggestion Thread Channels
Usage: /config get config:Threads for suggestions (to view) or /config thread <enable|disable> (to set)
You can either view if thread channels are automatically created or not when a suggestion is submitted or enable/disable the thread from being created.

When approving or rejecting a thread, you can opt to have the thread automatically be archived via the auto archive threads configuration.
Keep Suggestion Logs
Usage: /config get config:Keep logs (to view) or /config keeplogs <enable|disable> (to set)
When enabled, this configuration allows a suggestion to remain in the channel when approved or rejected vs. the bot being deleting the original message and posting the results to the set configuration channel.
Anonymous Suggestions
Usage /config get config:Anonymous suggestions (to view) or /config anonymous <enable|disable>
When enabled, this configuration allows users to optionally submit a suggestion as anonymous, omitting any of their profile infomation from the suggestion. Read more about this feature here.
Auto Archive Threads
When enabled, this configuration allows the bot to automatically archive suggestions threads when resolved (approved or rejected).
Usage /config get config:Auto archive threads (to view) or /config auto_archive_threads <enable|disable>
