Discord Hack Week 2019

About

The purpose of this bot was to try a different way of executing kicks and bans rather than trying to make as many commands as possible for this event, so don't expect too many commands :D

Instead of chaining everything in a single command with an argument spliterator such as ';' which most bots do, which gets messy, this bot uses multi stage commands also known as "command menus".

Commands

  • Prefix: m.
  • ban @user - Activates the ban menu to ban the mentioned users.
  • kick @user - Activates the kick menu to kick the mentioned users.
  • logchannel #channel - Sets the log channel to send moderation logs to, this must be set.
  • ping - Pong! with the latency (round trip of message send and receive) time.
  • warn @user - Activates the warn menu to warn the mentioned users.

Host

The bot is hosted by myself until the event officially ends on Tuesday. The bot can be added using this link: https://discordapp.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=593898637222739987&permissions=76934&scope=bot
