Server Settings covers the configuration choices that affect how members run and read Discortics commands: the message-command prefix, the server language, and channel utilities like sticky messages.
The default prefix is ;. Slash commands always begin with / and are not affected when you change the prefix.
Set the prefix
Use /settings prefix set:<prefix> to replace the default ; prefix for message commands.
Choose a short prefix that does not conflict with another bot. A prefix can contain up to 10 characters, cannot start with /, and cannot contain line breaks or control characters.
Change the prefix from the DashboardSet the characters used before message commands.
- Open your server in the Dashboard.
- Open Server Settings.
- Find Prefix and enter the new prefix.
- Use the save bar.
- Test a message command with the new prefix.

Setting the prefix back to ; restores the default and removes the server-specific override.

The server language controls translated Discortics responses in that server. Some text may remain in English when a translation is incomplete.

- Open your server in the Dashboard.
