Question 1

Welcome messages

Accepted Answer

You can ask MEE6 to send a message when new users join your server.

This is useful if you want to give send new users a list of rules, info about how to use the server, tips, or even simply just a warm welcome.

You can either send the welcome message in a Discord channel, or directly to the user through a direct message.

To set up join messages head on over to your server Dashboard > Plugins Tab > Welcome

Send welcome messages to a Discord channel

To send a join message to a specific channel in your server, enable and configure the option "Send a message when a user joins the server", and select a channel for the message to be sent to.

After configuring the join message, the next time a user joins your server, MEE6 will give them a warm welcome in the channel you selected.

||| Make sure MEE6 has permissions to read messages and send messages in the channel settings for the welcome channel.

Send welcome messages directly to the user

To send a private join message to new users, enable and configure the option "Send a private message to new users".

Go to your Discord server settings then click on Roles. Then, click on MEE6's role and move MEE6's role above the other roles.

Enjoy!

Question 4

How to Ban, Kick or Mute

Accepted Answer

Want your server to be a safe place for your members? Make sure you can Ban, Kick, and Mute those who don't respect the rules!

First you need to enable the "Moderator plugin". To do that, go to your server dashboard > Plugins Tab > Moderator

Scroll down to the commands list and make sure the commands you want to use are enabled.

|| Pro-tip: anywhere on your dashboard, write a command name with your keyboard to automatically go to the corresponding plugin!

How to use the commands

!mute, !ban and !kick only require one argument, the user: !mute @MEE6#4876. You can also put a user ID instead of its mention.

!tempmute and !tempban also require a duration: !tempmute @MEE6#4876 3d

For durations you can use and combine minutes, hours, days or weeks: 3d25m will mute/ban for 3 days and 25 minutes

For each command you can add a reason: !mute @MEE6#4876 spamming emojis If you do not give a reason, the bot will set it as Unspecified

|| Make sure MEE6 has permissions on his role in your server settings to [Kick/Ban](https://help.mee6.xyz/en/article/missing-kick

Question 5

Give a role to new members (Autorole)

Accepted Answer

With MEE6 you can automatically give a role to new members that join your server with the autorole feature. This feature is useful if you want your members to have a special role in your server, or to simply add some color to their name to brighten up your server.

How to set up autoroles

It's pretty simple to set up, and all you need to do is go to your server dashboard > Plugins Tab > Welcome

Once here, enable the option "Give a role to new users", then add the roles you want MEE6 to give to new members when they join your server.

"Give roles" option enabled

||| For MEE6 to be able to give roles to new members, make sure MEE6 is above the role in your role hierarchy. Also, make sure that the MEE6 role has manage roles permission enabled.

"Delay at server rules acceptance" option

If you run a community Discord server, this option might come handy. It allows you to give roles only after the user has accepted your rules, and not before: this preserves Discord's anti-raid protections which prevent newcomers

Question 6

Music Plugin

Accepted Answer

MEE6 has a plugin to play cool music in your server in a very simple way. It only takes one command for the bot to join you in the voice channel and start your favourite music… and for the coolest of you, you can use your dashboard to manage everything without even opening Discord!

Play great music

There are a few commands you can use to play music:

!add followed by the name of a music or link will add the song you specified. It's even possible to add a radio station using it's source URL! In fact, any source URL may work if it does not require a login. Oh and searching by terms is YouTube only.
!play can be used either with or without search terms. If you use it with, it will works like the !add command, but if you don't specify any song MEE6 will join the voice channel and immediately start playing the queue.
!search is used to search for music based on keywords or name. MEE6 will offer you 10 different music choices based on what is most popular for the word you specified, and you just have to pick the corresponding number from the list to immediately add it to the queue!
!replay while you're listening to a song will put that song back to the beginning. Kind of like a !seek 0.

| Pro-tip: With the !search command, if you provide several numbers in the response MEE6 will add them all. Now you can test different versions of the same song, isn't it super cool? ![Search command example](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/e676937d65
