Server management commands

These commands require the Manage Server permission and can only be used in a server.

Mellow is not a moderation bot: there are no ban, kick, timeout, role, or auto-moderation commands. Server configuration is limited to feature toggles, channels, a moderator role, and diagnostics.

`/guildsettings`

Configure Mellow for this server.

/guildsettings view
/guildsettings set checkin_channel:#check-ins mod_alert_channel:#crisis-alerts crisis_alerts:true

`/guildsettings view`

Shows the current settings for the server.

`/guildsettings set`

Recommended setup

/guildsettings view - see the defaults.
Create #check-ins, #crisis-alerts (moderators only), and #bot-logs.
/guildsettings set checkin_channel:#check-ins mod_alert_channel:#crisis-alerts system_channel:#bot-logs moderator_role:@Moderator
Enable the features you want: /guildsettings set check_ins:true ghost_letters:true crisis_alerts:true system_logs:true
/guilddebug - confirm everything is wired up.

Crisis alerts

When crisis_alerts is on and mod_alert_channel is set, a high or critical crisis signal in your server posts a short alert to that channel. It names the person and links to the message but never repeats what they wrote, and it does not ping anyone. See

Moderator alerts
