Channel Settings
Channel settings are per-channel overrides that take precedence over group-level defaults. They allow you to configure different behavior for individual channels within the same interserv group.
Available Channel Settings
| Setting | Description | Default (inherits from group) |
|---|---|---|
| Message Direction | Controls which direction messages flow: All, Incoming only, Outgoing only | All messages |
| User Warning Message | Toggle the first-time user warning for this channel | Inherits from group |
| Custom Warning Message | Override the warning message text for this channel | Inherits from group |
| Reply Style | Override how replies are displayed in this channel | Inherits from group |
| Translation Language | Target language for auto-translated messages (only visible when group translation is enabled) | Inherits from group |
Message Direction
The most important channel-level setting is message direction, which controls how messages flow for a specific channel:
| Direction | Behavior | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| All messages | Channel sends and receives messages (default) | Normal bidirectional chat |
| Incoming only | Channel receives messages but doesn’t send its own | Read-only feed, announcements from other servers |
| Outgoing only | Channel sends messages but doesn’t receive any | Broadcasting to other servers without seeing replies |
Message direction is particularly useful for announcement-style channels where you want to broadcast to other servers without receiving their messages, or for read-only feeds where you want to see messages from other servers without participating.

When a channel doesn’t have a specific override set, it falls back to the group default:
Channel Setting → Group Setting → Orax DefaultIf you change a group-level setting, channels that don’t have an override for that setting will automatically inherit the new group value.
