FAQ

What usually blocks install.

Permissions, dashboard versus Discord, auto-mod and data. Answers are in the open; no need to expand each one.

Get started

Is it free?

Yes. Skord is free on your server. No hidden plans or cut modules.

What permissions does the bot need?

Point permissions: send and manage messages, channels and roles, kick, ban, timeout, voice and move members. Administrator is not required. Each /mod also checks the permission of whoever runs it.

Dashboard or commands?

Both. Auto-mod, levels, welcome, logs and messages are edited in the dashboard. Slash commands are day to day: moderate, giveaways, economy.

Slash doesn't show up in Discord.

Invite again with the site link and wait a minute: Discord is slow to sync. If Skord isn't online in the server, / won't list anything.

Where is the command list?

In the command manual: every slash with parameters and an example. In Discord, type / and browse Skord's groups.

Moderation

How do warns, kicks, bans and timeouts work?

/mod member warn, /mod member kick, /mod member ban and /mod member timeout. Each action opens a numbered case in the log channel (dashboard → Logs).

What is Audit?

The server activity log: channels, roles, messages, voice, nicknames, boosts, kicks and bans. Same Logs channel. In the dashboard you toggle each category.

Can I mute channels, roles or users in the logs?

Yes. In Logs → Ignore you exclude noisy channels, a whole role (other bots) or specific users.

Moderation or auto-mod?

Moderation is by hand: a mod runs the slash. Auto-mod is rules Skord applies when it sees spam, links or images that don't belong.

Auto-mod

What does it filter?

Blocked links, images by channel or role, mass mentions (@everyone, @here or many in a row), repeated spam and banned words. Each hit adds a strike; after several, automatic warn or timeout (Auto-mod → Escalation).

Voice channels

How do temp rooms work?

In the dashboard you pick a hub. On join, Skord creates your room and moves you. /voice create is a fallback if that failed. Inside you configure with /voice or the buttons; the room deletes when empty.

Community

How do levels work?

XP per message, with a cooldown so it isn't farmed. Reward roles per level and role multipliers are set in the dashboard.

What's in the economy?

Per-user balance, daily and work, with amounts set in the dashboard. Day to day is /economy.

Autoroles and starboard?

In Community: autoroles on join, and a starboard for messages that pass a ⭐ count in a dedicated channel.

Messages and tickets

How do I make an embed with buttons?

In Messages: visual editor with preview. You can also import JSON exported from Discord; Skord converts it.

How do tickets work?

A panel with a button. The member opens a private channel, visible to them and the staff role you set.

Discord only

Does it play music?

Not right now. Playing YouTube from a bot got blocked by YouTube, so we pulled music until there's a reliable, allowed provider.

Giveaways and polls?

/giveaway start or Dashboard → Giveaways publishes a giveaway with a button. Hit Join again to leave. /giveaway end closes and picks winners. /giveaway cancel closes with no winners and posts in the channel. Delete announces and removes the message. /poll create makes a poll.

What's in fun?

8ball, dice, rock-paper-scissors, pick from options and interactions (hug, pat, handshake) with a GIF.

Data

What about data?

We store server config, cases, audit and level or economy progress. We don't read DMs or sell data. Ask for deletion at [email protected]. Detail in the privacy policy.

Not your case?

Try it on your server or read the command manual.
