Setup

Essential setup commands to configure Som DVPS's core features and security settings.

Initial Configuration

Som DVPS is configured through slash commands (/) with limited prefix support for certain commands. Follow these steps to get your server up and running.

Important: Complete the essential configuration steps immediately after inviting Som DVPS to ensure full functionality and optimal moderation performance.

Essential Setup

1. Moderation Visibility

Control whether moderator names are shown when users receive moderation actions via DM. By default, moderator names are shown.

/modvisibility visible: true
  • true - Shows moderator names in DM notifications
  • false - Hides moderator names (anonymous moderation)

2. Auto-Role for New Members

Automatically assign roles to new members and bots when they join. Configure up to 5 roles for each category.

/autorole set member: @Member @Member2 bot: @Bot-Role

View current configuration:

/autorole view

Remove specific roles:

/autorole remove member: @Member @Member2

Auto-Sync Feature

Som DVPS automatically syncs auto-roles every 5 minutes to ensure all existing members have the configured roles, not just new joiners.

Role Hierarchy Requirements

  • Som DVPS's role must be above all auto-roles in the server settings
  • Managed roles (integration roles) cannot be assigned as auto-roles
  • You can assign up to 5 roles per category (members/bots)

3. Custom Prefix (Optional)

Set a custom text prefix for hybrid commands. The prefix must be 5 characters or less and cannot be empty or whitespace.

/prefix set new_prefix: !
