Channel Tools

Most of these need Manage Channels or Manage Messages. Fake permissions count, so a helper role can be given access through Fake Permissions instead of a real Discord permission.

Purging messages

,purge

Aliases: c, prune. Requires Manage Messages. Deletes the last fifteen messages that are not pinned, plus your command message. It stays quiet afterwards, on purpose.

Give it a number to change how much goes:

,purge 200

There are filters for the harder jobs:

The three text searches look through the last one hundred messages and tell you how many they deleted. The file, human and pinned behaviour differs slightly: attachments, humans and stickers do not skip pinned messages, everything else does.

Lockdown

,lockdown

Alias: lock. Requires Manage Channels. Stops the lock role from sending in this channel and reacts with a padlock instead of posting a reply. There is no automatic timed unlock: it stays locked until you run unlock.

,lockdown #general raid in progress
,unlock

Alias: unlockdown. Both take the channel and the reason as optional arguments, and default to the channel you are standing in.

Other lockdown tools:

Without ,lockdown role, the role is @everyone, so a plain ,lockdown silences the whole channel for non-staff.

Slowmode

,slowmode on 15
,slowmode off

Seconds between zero and 21600 (six hours). Give a channel to set it somewhere else: ,slowmode on 30 #general. Requires Manage Channels.

Hiding and revealing a channel

,hide
,reveal

Switches @everyone's view of the channel. Defaults to the channel you ran it in. Requires Manage Channels.

Channel management

,channel create announcements
,channel delete #old-channel
,channel rename #general off-topic
,channel nsfw #movies

Requires Manage Channels. Create makes a text channel, delete works on text and voice, rename takes the new name as the rest of the line, and nsfw toggles the age restriction and tells you the new state. These commands only react with a check mark, they do not post a sentence.

Nuking a channel

,nuke #spam

Alias: clone. Requires Manage Server. Recreates the channel with the same name, position, topic and permission overrides, deletes the original, and says "First!" in the new one. Your welcome message and sticky message settings follow the new channel. Confirms with a button first.

Topic

,topic Read the rules before posting.

Sets the topic of the channel you are in. Needs Manage Channels.

Threads

Requires Manage Threads. close and reopen work as aliases for lock and unlock.
