Start here after adding Discortics. Set up moderation first, then choose your prefix and language.
Before you begin
- You need Manage Server.
- Discortics needs Send Messages and Embed Links to reply.
- For moderation, it also needs Manage Roles, Ban Members, Kick Members, Timeout Members, and Manage Channels.
- Keep the Discortics role above the members it moderates and above any Muted or Member Role.
Set up moderation
Set up moderation from the Dashboard
- Open Dashboard → Moderator → General.
- Choose a private Modlog Channel.
- Choose a Muted Role.
- Choose a Member Role if your server uses one.
- Choose which actions DM the member, then save.

The General tab on Dashboard → Moderator
| Setting | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Modlog Channel | Receives moderation cases and Automoderation logs |
| Muted Role | Given by /mute. /mute won't work until it's set |
| Member Role | Used by /lock and /unlock instead of @everyone |
| DM Notices | Choose per action whether the member gets a DM |
The muted role can't be a managed role, @everyone, or a role with risky permissions. See Moderation for commands and cases.
Set the prefix
The default prefix is ;. Slash commands always start with / and don't change.
Change the prefix from the Dashboard
- Open Dashboard → Settings.
- Enter the new prefix under Prefix.
- Save with the save bar.
- Test a message command with the new prefix.

The Prefix field on Dashboard → Settings
Limits: up to 10 characters. A prefix can't start with / or contain line breaks. Set it back to ; to restore the default.
Set the language
Discortics replies in this language in your server. Text without a translation stays in English.
Change the language from the Dashboard
- Open Dashboard → Settings.
- Select the language.
- Save with the save bar.

Next steps

- Screen new members with Verification.
- Greet members and give roles with Welcome and autoroles.
- Control who can use each command with Command Permissions.
Commands
| Command | What it does | Permission |
|---|---|---|
/settings moderation | Set up moderation | Manage Server |
/settings prefix set:<prefix> | Change the prefix | Manage Server |
/settings language name:<language> | Change the language | Manage Server |
Discord changes save immediately. Dashboard changes save when you use the save bar.
Troubleshooting
A setting won't change. Check that you have Manage Server, then check Command Permissions in case the command is restricted.
A Dashboard change isn't showing in Discord. Use the save bar before leaving the page.
