Core commands

Help, status, language, AFK, and the link back to your dashboard.

Overview#

The commands that are always there. /help is the one to remember: it lists every command your server has, and explains any single one you ask it about.

/help is one of four commands that can never be turned off in command management, alongside /command, /ignorechannel and /prefix. Between them a server can always reach the basics and undo its own configuration. Everything else on this page can be disabled like any other command.

Commands#

CommandWhat it doesRequires
/help [command]Browse every command, or get help for one.Anyone

/alertsThe latest service notice from the Iris team, if there is one.Anyone
/afk [reason]Mark yourself away. Run it again to come back.Anyone
/suggest <text> [image]Send a suggestion about Iris to the developer, with an optional screenshot.Anyone

Going AFK#

Set an AFK status and Iris answers on your behalf. Anyone who mentions you, or replies to one of your messages, gets a short note saying you are away and why. Your next message in the server clears the status and Iris welcomes you back once, rather than on every message.

The status is per server, so being away in one place does not mark you away everywhere. Running /afk a second time clears it by hand, and the reason is optional.

Language#

CommandWhat it doesRequires
/language set <language>Set the language Iris replies in for the whole server, across 21 languages.Manage Server

Tips and gotchas#

I forgot the server prefix.

Mention Iris. With Mention as Prefix on in bot settings, @Iris help works whatever the prefix is.

Does help show commands I cannot use?

It lists what the server has and the permission each one needs, so you can see why one is unavailable to you.

Where do suggestions go?

To the developer, not to your server staff. For your own server, use forms or tickets.
