Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What are the basic rules of counting?
A: The standard rules are simple: don't skip numbers, don't go backwards, and the same person can't count two numbers in a row. Breaking these rules resets the channel's count to zero, unless a "save" is used.
Q2: How does the "save" system work?
A: Saves act as extra lives. If someone breaks the count, a save is automatically used to prevent a reset. Users earn saves by counting correctly (3% chance per number) or by voting for the bot. Saves can also be transferred between users.
Q3: Can I import our count from another counting bot?
A: The Counting Discord Bot does not natively import scores from other bots. Your server would need to start a new count. Other bots, like Countr, offer import functions, but they are separate services.
Q4: The bot isn't responding in our counting channel. What's wrong?
A: First, ensure the bot has been properly linked to the channel using /linkchannel. Also, check that the bot has the necessary "Read Messages" and "Send Messages" permissions in that channel.
Q5: Where can I get support or report a bug?
A: The best place for support is the official Counting Discord Bot support server. You can find an invite link on the bot's official website.
Q6: Can we count in different languages?
A: While the primary counting modes are numerical, there is support for "word numbers" (one, two, three) in English. The bot's interface and responses can also be set to different languages using the c!language command.
