Bot settings.
The channel-wide behavior of the bot: your prefix, how it replies, how cooldowns behave, and the timezone and date format it uses.
Prefix
The character before a command (!, &, ~ or -). Commands are stored prefix-free, so changing it applies everywhere at once. See Getting started.
Reply style
How the bot formats a reply to a command:
| Style | Looks like |
|---|---|
| Plain | A normal chat message. |
| Mention | Prefixed with the viewer name, e.g. @you …. |
| Thread | Posted as a Twitch reply threaded under the viewer message. |
Reply style only applies to replies triggered by a chat command. Event-driven posts (timers, chat alerts, raid shout-outs) always post plain.
Cooldown behavior
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| On cooldown | When a command is on cooldown, stay silent or post a short "wait Ns" reply. |
| Mods bypass cooldown | Let mods and you skip cooldowns entirely. On by default. |
| Unknown command | Ignore an unmatched command, or suggest the closest one ("Did you mean …?"). |
| Rate limit | A safety cap on how many messages the bot sends per 30 seconds. |
Timezone and date format
Set the timezone and date format the bot uses for the $(time) and $(date) variables, so a !time command shows your local time and dates read the way you expect.
Connection
Bot settings also shows connection health and a Force reconnect button. Use it if the bot ever looks stuck after you have confirmed it is enabled and a moderator.
