Availability: All Guilds

/modpost <channel>

• channel: The channel where you want the post to go. Accepts ids

Example:

/modpost channel:123456

• Chatot: None
• Users: Ban Members

Summary: Has Chatot send the message you specify.

This command will tell Chatot to post a message in the specified channel. Running this command will then prompt you with a popup where you can enter the message text. Standard Discord formatting options apply. A footer is automatically applied to the message which indicates when and by whom the last edit was made.

To later edit the message, see the edit command.

The modal is only valid for 5 minutes, so it is recommended to craft your post elsewhere before using this command if that timeframe is insufficient. Posts are limited to 3925 characters, which represents the standard Discord message length limit wtih some characters reserved for the footer. The modal automatically shows you the number of characters remaining. Bot posts are immune to AutoMod.

Chatot will attempt to resolve any tags (user or role) and channel references into a pingable format if it detects you are trying to tag/link to them. For example, @shinyfinder will resolve to <@id> and ping. This is best effort; be mindful that puncuation may throw it off (i.e. send a message to @shinyfinder. will not resolve the user shinyfinder, because usernames can include periods. One way to solve this is add a space before the period.) and usernames will only resolve if they are in the server. If it fails, you can always edit it again with edit. The most reliable method is to always use IDs when trying to ping (<@id>) or link to a channel (<#id>), but this is here for convenience.
