Channel Restrictions

Patron feature

These commands only appear in authorized servers. Run /patreon verify with Manage Server to unlock them, then give Discord a few seconds to register them.

By default, Patron command groups can be used in any channel. Channel Restrictions let admins lock a command group to a specific channel, so commander lookups, KvK timers, or event info only work where you want them. Set it up once and the bot politely points members to the right channel if they try elsewhere. You can manage it from Discord with /channel or visually from the dashboard.

How it works

Each restrictable command group can have one allowed channel. When a member runs a command from that group, the bot checks whether they are in the allowed channel:

• If they are, the command runs normally.
• If they are not, the bot tells them privately which channel to use instead.

There is also a special All Commands group. Set a channel for All Commands and every restrictable group is allowed in that channel, on top of any per-group channel you set. This is handy when you want one general bot channel plus a couple of dedicated ones.

Restrictions only apply once you set one

Setting a channel for a group means that group is allowed only in the channel(s) you pick. If you have set any channel rules at all and a member runs a restrictable command somewhere with no matching rule, the bot blocks it and explains where it is allowed. If you want a group usable everywhere again, remove its restriction (see /channel with Remove Channel).

The command groups you can restrict are:

Group	Covers
All Commands	Allows every restrictable group in the chosen channel
Commander Info	Commander lookups and related cards
Meta Lineups	Meta pairing and lineup commands
KvK Commands	KvK timers and related tools
Event Info	Event information commands
Bundle Info	Bundle information commands

Prefer a visual setup?

Every channel rule can be managed from the Codex Helper Dashboard in your browser, alongside reminders, calendars, and signups. The /channel command and the dashboard control the same settings.

Commands

/channel

Add or remove the allowed channel for a command group.

Option	Type	Required	Description
action	choice	Yes	Choose Add Channel to set the allowed channel, or Remove Channel to clear a group’s restriction.
group	choice	Yes	The command group to manage. Pick from the autocomplete list (Commander Info, Meta Lineups, KvK Commands, Event Info, Bundle Info, or All Commands).
channel	channel	No	The channel to allow. Required when the action is Add Channel. Can be a text channel, thread, or forum channel. Leave empty when removing.

Add a restriction so a group is only allowed in one channel:

/channel action: Add Channel group: KvK Commands channel: #kvk-timers

Remove a restriction so the group is allowed anywhere again:

/channel action: Remove Channel group: KvK Commands

Choosing Add without a channel

If you pick Add Channel but do not select a channel, the bot asks you to choose one. The channel option only matters for adding; it is ignored when removing.

To review which channels are currently set for each group, run /config. Its Command Channel Settings section lists every group and its allowed channel (or shows that none is set yet).
