Getting started

Server settings

The prefix for text commands, the language, and the channels where staff replies are shown to everyone.

Updated 26 Oct 2026

These settings apply to TalciGrade as a whole in your server, rather than to one module.

Text commands

Every command is a slash command. Most also work as a text command: a message that starts with a prefix, such as .ban @user.

Setting What it controls
Text command prefix What a text command starts with. . by default, up to 5 characters
Text commands Whether text commands work at all. Slash commands always work

Mentioning the bot works in place of the prefix, whatever the prefix is set to: @TalciGrade ping.

Language

The language TalciGrade uses for what it posts in your server. Only English is available today. More languages are added as their translations are finished.

A member who picks a language for themselves on the website sees it in replies meant only for them, such as a direct message or a reply only they can see.

Staff channels

Some replies to staff commands only matter to the person who ran them, such as a list of ticket bans. In an ordinary channel, only that person sees them, so they do not clutter the conversation.

In a channel you mark as a staff channel, the same replies are posted for everyone there, so the rest of the team sees the answer too.

You can also mark a whole category. Every channel in it then counts as a staff channel, including channels added to the category later.

Replies that should not stay on screen anywhere, such as a link to a ticket transcript, stay private in staff channels as well.

Threads are never staff channels. A reply in a thread stays private, even when the thread is inside a staff channel or a staff category.

You mark them on the Dashboard under General > Staff channels, which takes up to 25 channels and categories in total.

Setting it up

Open General on the Dashboard.
