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

SettingDescriptionDefault (inherits from group)
Message DirectionControls which direction messages flow: All, Incoming only, Outgoing onlyAll messages
User Warning MessageToggle the first-time user warning for this channelInherits from group
Custom Warning MessageOverride the warning message text for this channelInherits from group
Reply StyleOverride how replies are displayed in this channelInherits from group
Translation LanguageTarget 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:

DirectionBehaviorUse Case
All messagesChannel sends and receives messages (default)Normal bidirectional chat
Incoming onlyChannel receives messages but doesn’t send its ownRead-only feed, announcements from other servers
Outgoing onlyChannel sends messages but doesn’t receive anyBroadcasting 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.

How to Configure

Via Dashboard

  1. Go to oraxbot.com/dashboard 
  2. Select your server and group
  3. Click on a linked channel
  4. Click the settings/gear icon
  5. Configure the channel-specific overrides

Via Dashboard URL

Channel settings can be accessed directly at:

https://oraxbot.com/dashboard/ownedgroup/channelSettings/<guildId>/<channelId>

Settings Hierarchy

When a channel doesn’t have a specific override set, it falls back to the group default:

Channel Setting → Group Setting → Orax Default

If you change a group-level setting, channels that don’t have an override for that setting will automatically inherit the new group value.
