Bots

These are the bots you can talk to on the server. Others run on their own, or are only for staff.

Type / in any channel to browse the slash commands of most of them.

Bots you can use

Our main moderation bot. If you receive a warning or an infraction, JudgeBot is the one that DMs you.

Each infraction adds points, and points decay over time. A warning is 5 points; a strike is usually 10, more in exceptional cases.

/selfhistory: DMs you your infraction history.
:stop_sign:: React to a message with this emoji to alert staff. Use it on anything that might break the rules.

Looks up documentation for you.

Formats code snippets through interactions.

A general-purpose bot that took over some of HotBot's features.

Bookmarks messages for you: react to a message with :bookmark: to save it.

Lets you contact the staff team privately. DM it to start a conversation.

All you need to do is send a message. Staff see your edits too.
