Prefix Command Deprecation

Hey ! We have an important update about Dyno's prefix commands.

Dyno's prefix commands are being phased out in the near future. This includes all default commands starting with your server's prefix (?help, !help, $ping etc.). In the near future, Dyno's default commands will only be available as slash commands.

If you aren't familiar with how they work, check out this Discord support article. But basically, just type / in the channel you want to use a command in and then select it. For example type /mute, select the Dyno command and then fill out the arguments that you want.

👀 Why:

Prefix commands work through the Privileged "Message Content" Intent, which requires manual approval from Discord. Dyno also uses this intent for a lot of its other core features, so upon Discord's request we have to remove prefix commands in order to align with their vision. Slash Commands have been Discord's recommended way for bots to have commands since 2021.

📅 When:

In order to make this transition more seamless, we are going to be doing this in three phases:
1. Starting today (September 1st) when you use a prefix command, there is a chance you will see a notice about this change along with a recommendation to use the relevant slash command instead. The prefix command will still go through normally during this phase.
2. After 3 weeks (on September 22nd), when using a prefix command, instead of being asked to use the slash command, you will be required to do so in order to run your command. During this phase prefix commands will only respond with a prompt to run the relevant slash command.
3. After 3 more weeks (on October 13th) prefix commands will stop responding entirely.

⚠️ What's NOT changing:

The following two things are not changing, even after the October 13th cutoff date.
- Custom Commands will still function as prefix commands only. The way the Custom Command module works is not changing at all.
- "Mention Commands" will also continue to work as is (such as @Dyno cat, @Dyno help ban etc.).

📝 What you need to do:

Nothing! All of Dyno's prefix commands have had slash command counterparts for many years now, so the only thing you need to do is simply type / in a channel, and simply find the Dyno command you want to use!

We understand that is a big change, and we thank you for you support and understanding! Don't hesitate to reach out in our server if you have any questions or concerns!

🦸 Attention, citizens of the Cave!

The Fortress has received an upgrade. I've replaced our old Sapphire reaction roles with a new system that better protects the integrity of our server.

To make this work, all old Sapphire reaction role messages must be deleted. If they remain, some users could still switch their gender roles and gain access to channels meant exclusively for Male or Female members.

Truth and order are stronger than loopholes. Remove the outdated reaction messages, claim your role from the new system, and the gates will remain secure.

A stronger fortress begins with a stronger foundation. 🛡️
