Slowmode

Off by default

Slow a channel down beyond Discord’s own slowmode: one shared timer for the channel, or a timer per member, with an automatic end.

Set it up

  1. Open the dashboard and pick your server. Sign in with Discord if you haven’t.

  2. Find Slowmode in the sidebar (or press ⌘K and type its name) and turn it on.

  3. Go through the settings below. Simple mode shows the essentials; switch to Advanced for the rest.

  4. Try it in Discord: /slowmode. Staff can restrict or turn off each command in Commands.

Settings

What you’ll find on the Slowmode page of the dashboard. Settings marked Advanced only show in Advanced mode.
