Reputation channels

The bot only gives reputation in the channels you pick. A new server has no channels set, so reputation by thankword or reaction works nowhere until you add some. Reputation given with /reputation is the exception: it works in every channel.

You manage the list in the dashboard under Settings > Channels.

Channels and categories​

Channels and Categories shows your server's categories with their channels, and the channels without a category. Tick what should be on the list:

  • Channels: text channels, forum channels and voice channels. Threads and forum posts follow the channel they belong to.
  • Categories: ticking a category covers every channel inside it. The bot doesn't add the single channels, it remembers the category. A channel you later move into the category is covered, and a channel you move out of it is no longer covered.

The dashboard only lists channels where the bot can read and write.

info

Without the supporter feature, a server can only add a small number of channels and categories. The dashboard shows the limit when you reach it. See Supporter features.

Allow list or deny list​

List Type decides how the list works:

List TypeWhat it does
Allow ListReputation works only in the listed channels and categories. This is the default.
Deny ListReputation works everywhere except in the listed channels and categories.

A deny list is handy when you have many channels and only want to leave out a few. The deny list is a supporter feature.

Other channels​

Some features use a channel of their own. You set those on their own pages:

When reputation doesn't work in a channel​

  • Check that the channel or its category is on the list, and that the list type is the one you want.
  • Check that the bot can see the channel and read its message history.
  • The Problems tab of the dashboard lists channels and categories that no longer exist. See Logs and diagnostics.
