Set up the bot for your server

Pick a prefix, choose where commands work, and decide what your members can do.

When the bot joins a server it posts a short welcome in a channel it can send in, covering the three things worth doing first: choosing a prefix, looking through the settings, and deciding on the “did you mean…?” nudge. It only posts this once, and you can bring the same guide back any time with !setup. If the bot ever seems unresponsive, !setup check tests its permissions in the current channel.

Everything the bot does per server lives in one panel. Anyone can look at it, and members with Manage Server or Administrator can change it.

!settings

The panel groups settings by area and marks anything you’ve changed from the default with ✱. Until you’ve set a prefix, a notification channel, and a command channel, it also shows a short “Setup” reminder with the command for each. Each setting is numbered, so you can refer to it by name or number.

Change a setting

!settings <name or number> <value>
!settings reset <name or number>

For example:

!settings casino off
!settings maxbet 5000
!settings channel #bot-commands
!settings 7 5000
!settings reset maxbet

If you mistype a name, the bot suggests the closest matches.

All settings

SettingTypeDefaultWhat it controls
prefixtext, up to 5 characters!The command prefix. Mentioning the bot always works too
prefixhinton or offonA one-time message suggesting a new prefix when another bot is seen answering the same commands
didyoumeanon or offonThe “did you mean…?” nudge on unknown commands
channelchannelanywhereRestrict commands to one channel. Use none to lift it
activityon or offoffReward members with tokens for chatting
earnon or offonAllow work, beg, hourly, weekly, trivia, scramble, and math
casinoon or offonAllow the casino games at all
maxbetnumber0, no capThe largest wager allowed in this server
gameslistnone blockedGames to block here, for example slots,crash
notifychannelchanneloffWhere FluxerList notifications are posted
notifylistallWhich notification kinds to send
flaton or offonFLAT activity tracking

Every setting also has a shortcut command: !prefix, !dym, !ar, !flat, and !nt. They edit the same values.

Common setups

Send all commands to one channel so the rest of your server stays quiet.

!settings channel #bot-commands

Undo it with !settings channel none.

Change the prefix

!prefix
!prefix ?

The first form shows your current prefix. The second sets it, up to 5 characters. It takes effect straight away, and the bot keeps answering to @FluxerList mentions whatever you choose.

FLAT tracking

FLAT is on by default and powers your server’s activity score. Check it with !flat, and turn it off with !flat off. Read FLAT activity score for what’s counted and how privacy works.

Permissions the bot needs

In any channel where you want it to answer, the bot needs:

  • Send Messages
  • Embed Links
  • Read Message History

If it’s missing one, it posts a short message listing what to grant. Two optional extras improve things:

  • Manage Webhooks lets notifications post with FluxerList branding.
  • Create Invite lets !list generate a permanent invite for you instead of asking you to paste one.
