Durations, IDs and Flags

How to write times, point at users and use the handy prefix flags.

Durations #

Commands like timeout, slowmode and giveaways take a duration. Write a number followed by a unit. For giveaways you can also chain them together, like 1d12h30m.

UnitMeaningExample
sSeconds30s
mMinutes10m
hHours2h
dDays7d
wWeeks1w

Timeouts can last up to 28 days and slowmode up to 6 hours. Those limits come from Discord.

Pointing at users #

Prefix commands accept either a mention like @Nova or a user ID like 740117727322046538. IDs are useful when the person already left the server, for example when you want to ban them anyway.

Turn on Developer Mode

Open User Settings → Advanced and switch on Developer Mode.

Copy the ID

Right click any user, channel, role or message and choose Copy ID.

Prefix flags #

A few moderation commands accept extra flags when you use the prefix version. Put them anywhere after the user.
