Features

Commands

In all examples below, the prefix has been set to $

$help <commandName>?

Displays the list of commands. Optionally adding a command name will make the bot respond with details about the named command.

Example:

$help prefix

$prefix <newPrefix>

Updates the prefix which bot will listen to for executing commands.

This prefix should be a single, non-alphanumeric character, and it should not be one of @, /, or #.

Example:

$prefix !
!help

$ban <word> and $unban

Bans a word. If someone says this word, they get reassigned to a timeout role for 5 minutes. The second command unbans the currently banned word.

These commands can only be used by course staff.

Example:

$ban an*me
$unban

$banned

This command can be used by everyone to see what word if any is currently banned.

$whobanned

This command can be used by everyone to see the username of the person who has requested to ban the current banned world.

$makefunny

Deepfries a PNG image. Call with the PNG image attached.

$feedback <word>+

Adds to the list of words that the bot will give feedback to when a post is particularly unhelpful.

Example:

$feedback unhinged refund integrity

$reset

This command resets the words which the bot will provide feedback to
