Why Use Rules Bot?

Moderation Teams

Moderation teams that want efficiency and clarity. Keep rules organized, numbered, and always current for consistent enforcement.

Transparency & Order

Any server that values fairness, transparency, and order. Professional presentation builds trust with your community.

Best Practices

Keep Rules Clear

Write rules in simple, direct language. Each rule should focus on one specific guideline or behavior.

Good: "No spam or excessive messages"
Bad: "Don't spam or be annoying or post too much or..."

Use Logical Order

Organize rules from most to least important, or group related rules together. The reorder function makes this easy.

Add Helpful Links

Use link buttons to direct members to reporting channels, role selection, or additional resources like full Terms of Service.

Use Intro/Outro

Add an intro to welcome members and explain the purpose. Use outro for acknowledgment statements or contact information.

Read-Only Channel

Publish rules to a channel where members can't send messages. This keeps your rules channel clean and professional.

Announce Updates

When you update rules, announce the changes in your announcements channel so members stay informed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many rules can I create?

There's no hard limit! However, we recommend keeping your rules concise and focused. 10-20 rules is typical for most servers.

Can I have different rules for different channels?

The bot publishes one set of server-wide rules to a single channel. For channel-specific rules, consider using channel topics or pins.

What happens to old rules when I publish updates?

The bot sends a new message with the updated rules. You can delete old messages manually or grant the bot "Manage Messages" permission to auto-clean.

Can I export my rules?

You can view all your rules through the "Show Settings" option in /setup. For backups, take screenshots or copy the published message.

How do I reorder rules?

Use the "Reorder Rules" option in /setup. You can specify which rule to move and its new position.

Can I use markdown formatting in rules?

Yes! Discord markdown is fully supported in rules, intro, and outro text. Use **bold**, *italic*, __underline__, and more.
