Configuration Commands

Open ArcaneDisgea opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

In addition to the dashboard for managing the bot's settings within a guild I think there could be some value in having commands to toggle things off. For example auto-moderation in goatplace went haywire recently due to a bug in Dyno bot. The flow to resolve that without having to kick the bot would have been:

  1. Open Site
  2. Sign in with Discord
  3. Select Guild to manage settings for.
  4. Disable Automod.

This can be cumbersome particularly if the only people with access to the bots configuration are MIA or on Mobile. Having a simple command to toggle a feature or part of a feature on or off on a whim could be beneficial.

This is probably a poorer example because bugs like this wouldn't necessarily happen that often but in a situation that requires a quick response, reducing the amount of walls in-between an admin and what they need to do to maintain their community is an overall positive in my opinion.

We don't need to add a command for every tiny configuration that can be set but being able to toggle whole modules on and off at a minimum could be exceptionally useful.
