Slowmode

Slowmode starts switched off on every server, so nothing happens until you turn it on.

1. Open your server on the dashboard.
2. In the sidebar, open Moderation and click Slowmode.
3. Switch on Enabled at the top of the page, then press Save changes in the save bar at the bottom.

The main Slowmode page has two sections: Channel slowmode and Individual slowmode. Your individual slowmode rules have their own sub-page, Rules, under Slowmode in the sidebar.

This is the quick fix during a busy moment: a raid, a giveaway announcement, a heated argument. It applies to everyone in the channel, exactly like setting slowmode in Discord's channel settings, just faster.

1. In the channel you want to slow down, run /slowmode set.
2. Pick a preset (5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes or 1 hour), or type an exact number of seconds (up to 21,600, which is 6 hours). Seconds win if you give both.
3. To change a different channel without going there, fill in the channel option.
4. When things calm down, run /slowmode clear to switch it off again.

On the dashboard, the Channel slowmode section at the top of the Slowmode page has one setting, Default delay. It's used when someone runs /slowmode set without a preset or seconds. Pick a chip (Off, 5s, 10s, 30s, 1m, 5m, 15m, 1h or 6h) or type an exact number into the seconds box next to them. It starts at 5 seconds.

1. On the main Slowmode page, make sure the switch in the Individual slowmode header is on (it is by default).
2. Press Manage rules, or click Rules under Slowmode in the sidebar.
3. On the Rules sub-page, press Add rule. The new rule opens straight away.

Once you have rules, each one in the list shows who it's for, its delay and where it applies, like "Role · 30 seconds · All channels" or "Member · 10 seconds · 2 channels". Click a rule to open it, or use the bin icon to delete it.

1. Under Who it's for, choose A member or A role in Applies to, then search for the member or role. Switching between the two clears the one you picked.
2. Under Delay, pick how long they wait between messages: a chip from 5s to 6h, or an exact number in the seconds box (1 to 21,600).
3. Under Channels, leave All channels on to apply it everywhere, or switch it off and use Add channel to pick specific channels.
4. Press ‹ All rules to go back to the list, then Save changes.

The top of the rule shows a summary, like "Rule #1 · 5 seconds · All channels", and a Delete button.

Two settings on the main Slowmode page, under Individual slowmode, shape how your rules behave. You can see them below Manage rules in the screenshot in step 3.

Slowmode has three permissions. You grant them to Dreamliner Roles on the dashboard's Roles page (search "slowmode" in the permission grid).

1. Press Autopilot at the top of the Slowmode page.
2. Describe what you want: who to slow down (everyone, a role or a member), how long, and where. It asks up to five follow-up questions.
3. Check the rules it adds on the Rules sub-page, then press Save changes. Nothing changes until you save.

1. Run /slowmode status in a channel. It shows the channel's Discord slowmode, whether individual slowmode is on, how many rules there are, the staff bypass and the fallback delay.
2. Run /slowmode check with a member and a channel. It tells you their effective delay there, which rule matched, or that they're bypassed because they have Manage Messages.
3. From a test account the rule covers, send two messages quickly. The first gets the clock reaction and the second disappears.
