Quick Start Guide

Welcome to Vör! This guide will help you get your server set up quickly. Whether you’re new to Discord bots or a seasoned server admin, follow these steps to configure Vör for your community.

🚀 Immediate Setup (5 Minutes)

Step 1: Invite Vör to Your Server

Use this link to invite Vör to your server.

Vör needs these permissions to function properly:

Permission Why it’s needed
Read Messages Process commands and content
Send Messages Respond to users
Embed Links Display rich information
Manage Messages Delete spam/offensive content
Moderate Members Timeout users
Ban Members Remove problematic users
Manage Roles Assign roles and permissions

Step 2: Basic Configuration

Once Vör joins your server, run /config guild to configure the core server-wide settings:

Setting Description
Log Channel Where Vör logs general command activity (individual cogs can also have their own log channels)
Sentinel Channel Where Vör sends automod and anti-scam alerts
Dashboard Access Roles Roles whose members can access the Vör web dashboard for this server

Tip: Create dedicated channels like #vor-logs and #sentinel-alerts before running /config guild so they’re ready to select.

  2. Sign in with Discord OAuth
  3. Select your server from the dropdown
  4. Configure settings, view mod logs, create Ticket panels, manage Tags, and more

Members with a role listed in Dashboard Access Roles (set via /config guild) can log in and manage your server’s configuration from the dashboard.

🚨 Troubleshooting

Bot Not Responding?

  1. Check Permissions — ensure Vör has Send Messages and View Channel in that channel
  2. Bot Status — use /ping or !ping to verify Vör is online
  3. Command Format — use / for slash commands, ! for prefix commands

Configuration Not Saving?

  1. Save Changes — click Save after making changes in the config panel
  2. Bot Permissions — ensure Vör has sufficient server permissions for the setting being changed
  3. Channel Validity — verify configured channels still exist and are accessible to the bot

Users Can’t Use Commands?

  1. Role Restrictions — some commands require specific roles configured in that cog’s settings
  2. Channel Permissions — check that users can send messages in that channel
  3. Cog Enabled — verify the relevant cog is enabled via /config cog <name>
