Overview

BetterSlowmode is a verified Discord bot designed to give users more power when defining slowmodes for text channels. With the bot, users can specify which types of content will be blocked during the slowmode: text or images or both.

BetterSlowmode is designed for as much customization as possible. Your slowmodes can be as short as 1 second, or as long as a year. You can even specially include or exclude certain members or roles to/from the slowmode!

How to use

It’s very simple! Try out the commands below to get started. Always remember that you can use @BetterSlowmode help for a list of all the commands, and @BetterSlowmode help [command] to get help for a specific command.

@BetterSlowmode help
@BetterSlowmode help set
@BetterSlowmode set 1h 30m 10s -exclude @aeramos
@BetterSlowmode set-image 1d -include @aeramos
@BetterSlowmode set-text 1y
@BetterSlowmode status
@BetterSlowmode remove
@BetterSlowmode reset @aeramos
@BetterSlowmode info

BetterSlowmode also supports slash commands! If enabled, slash commands can be used by pressing / then selecting or typing any BetterSlowmode command, like /set or /status.

If slash commands are not enabled in your server, you may need to re-invite BetterSlowmode to your server. Don’t worry, your slowmodes will not be removed because you don’t need to kick the bot, just click on the new invite link.

Frequently Asked Questions

• I set a slowmode with the @BetterSlowmode set command, but nothing shows up in Discord. It doesn’t say “Slowmode is enabled” at the bottom of the screen. Is the slowmode enabled?
  • Yes, the slowmode is enabled. It doesn’t show the indicator because the bot doesn’t use normal Discord Slowmodes, it manages the messages by itself. Through this, the bot is able to create slowmodes just for images or slowmodes that exclude certain members.
• The slowmode doesn’t do anything. I set a slowmode, but it doesn’t delete any of my messages. Is it broken?
  • No, this is correct behavior. You are immune from any slowmodes you create because you have either the Manage Channel of Administrator permissions in the channel. The slowmode will apply to members who don’t have those permissions, according to the rules you set.
• How do I include a moderator to a slowmode?
  • Using the -include option with @BetterSlowmode set, set-text, or set-image, you can include individual members or roles. However, you can only specially include people who are less powerful than you. This is determined by the order of the roles in Discord. You can change the order in the server settings or ask the owner to set the slowmode. The owner of the server can include anyone.
• Can I include multiple users and roles to a slowmode? The slash command only lets me choose one.
  • Yes! If you use the @BetterSlowmode set command, you can add as many -include or -exclude options as you want. For example @BetterSlowmode set -include @john @peter -exclude @james @matthew. Note that if some of a user’s roles are included and some of them are excluded, the status of the higher-ranked role takes precedence.
