Answers what's already been answered
Merlin reads every channel it can see, back to the first message. Members ask it about the rules, the roles or an old thread, and get the answer with where it came from.
@merlin can i post my server link here?
not in #general. the mods agreed on 3 August: one post a week, in #showcase only. Jasmine pinned it there.
@merlin how do i get the Artist role?
post three pieces in #art and ask in #roles. a mod adds it, usually within a day.
Stops scams and raids
Ask in plain words to ban, time out, clear messages or lock a channel, and Merlin does it when you press Confirm. On Pro it also spots a wave of scam links and asks your mods before doing anything.
overnight, 9 accounts that joined yesterday posted the same giveaway link in #general and #art. ban them and delete their messages?
yes
done. all 9 are banned and 52 messages are gone.
@merlin block that link from now on
add an AutoMod rule that blocks it and tells #mods when someone tries?
yes
done. that link can't be posted anymore.
Takes the busywork off your mods
Any mod can ask who did what and why, straight from the audit log. Roles, permissions, AutoMod, events and onboarding are one message away, changed when you press Confirm.
@merlin who timed out Ethan last week, and why?
Jasmine did, on Tuesday at 9:14 pm, for a day. her reason: spamming invites in #showcase.
@merlin make a Helpers role that can manage threads and give it to Jasmine
make Helpers, let it manage threads in every channel, and give it to Jasmine?
yes
done. Jasmine is a Helper now.
Catches people up
Members ask Merlin what they missed and get the short version, not a hundred unread messages.
@merlin what did i miss in #dev this week?
three things. the 2.1 release moved to Friday, Leo fixed the login bug, and there's an open vote on dropping the old API.
Tells you what people are asking for
Ask for a weekly post with what members got stuck on, what they keep asking for and the questions nobody answered.
@merlin every Monday, tell me what people got stuck on
done. the first one goes out Monday at 9 am.
- Monday
the new verify step came up 16 times, mostly from people on mobile. 9 people asked for a voice channel for EU evenings. 2 questions in #help got no reply since Thursday.
Polls, events and reminders
Ask Merlin to start a poll, make a server event, remind the channel before it starts, or keep an eye on a page and post when it changes.
@merlin poll: what should movie night be this week?
poll's up with the 4 films people suggested this week. it closes Thursday at noon.
- Thursday
Spirited Away won with 31 votes. want me to make the event for Saturday at 8?
Privacy and control
It only speaks when asked
Merlin answers when someone mentions it, replies to it or uses /ask. It never pings a role or everyone.
Private channels stay private
Merlin uses what was said in a channel only where everyone reading the answer can see that channel too.
It moderates only with your mods
Merlin takes a mod action only where everyone in the channel has that permission, and only after the person who asked presses Confirm.
You choose the channels
Ignore a channel and Merlin stops answering there. Take away its access to one and it deletes what it kept from it.
