How to set up Thunderstruck, who can change it, and how to use each module.
Getting started
Three steps from an empty server to a configured one.
STEP 1
Add the bot
Use Add to server and pick the server. The bot needs to be in the server before the dashboard can change it.
STEP 2
Log in with Discord
Sign in with the account that owns the server, has Manage Server, or has been added as a bot master.
STEP 3
Open the server
My servers lists every server that account can open. Pick one, turn modules on, and save. Changes apply straight away.
Who can change settings
The dashboard checks the member's real permissions in that server on every request.
Server owner
Can change every module, including Anti Nuke and the bot master list.
Manage Server
Can open the dashboard and change modules. Cannot change Anti Nuke.
Bot master
A member or role chosen on the Bot Masters page. They can open the dashboard and use the bot's commands. They cannot edit the bot master list or Anti Nuke.
Modules
Each server turns on only the modules it uses. Open a module for how to set it up. A module that is off does not run for that server.
Protection
Moderate, filter, and recover the server when something goes wrong.
Moderation
Log cases, tell members why they were punished, and automatically time out, kick or ban them when their warnings add up.
Ban Appeals
Banned members fill in a form on the website. Staff approve or deny it, and an approval unbans them and writes a moderation case.
AutoMod
Automatically filter invites, links, bad words, spam and more.
Anti Raid
Lock the server down when lots of members join at once and block suspicious accounts.
Honeypot
A trap channel that people are told not to post in. Spam bots post there anyway and are removed automatically.
AutoPurge
Delete a set number of messages in chosen channels on a schedule. Pinned messages stay.
Auto Slowmode
Slow a channel down when messages arrive in a burst, then turn slowmode off once it is quiet.
AutoBan
Ban accounts that are too new, have no picture, use a blocked name, or are on a list.
Anti Nuke
Punish anyone who deletes channels, roles or members faster than the limits you set.
Only the server owner can change this.
Verification
Verify new members with a website check, a Discord captcha, or a button. The website can block VPNs, alternate accounts and banned members.
Backup
Save this server's roles, channels and settings on a schedule you choose, then restore them if they are deleted.
Community
Run support, growth and the day-to-day life of the server.
Tickets
Private support tickets with transcripts. Extra requests can wait in a queue.
Global Chat
Link a channel to every other server that has Global Chat on. Messages sent there show up in all of them, with the sender's name, picture and server. Block users or servers you do not want to see.
Giveaways
Button giveaways with requirements, bonus entries, drops, pauses and rerolls. Running ones can be viewed on the website.
Starboard
The bot adds a star emoji to each post. Members click it, and once enough have, the message is posted with a button that adds or removes a star.
Reviews
Members rate your services, products and staff from 1 to 5 stars and leave a comment. Staff can check reviews before they are posted.
Suggestions
Members submit ideas in a channel. Others vote with buttons, and staff accept or deny them.
Polls
Post a question with choices. Members vote with buttons, and the poll can close on its own.
Leveling
Members earn XP by chatting or sitting in a voice channel, level up, and can receive role rewards.
Economy
Members claim a daily, weekly and monthly, with extra coins for chosen roles. They buy tools and shop items, and fishing, hunting, digging, and searching fill an inventory.
Games
Tic-tac-toe, snakes and ladders, Connect Four, hangman, blackjack and other games played with buttons.
Fun
Jokes, ratings, coin flips and the other /fun commands. Turn the module off to stop all of them, or turn each command on or off.
Birthdays
Members save a date, and the bot posts a birthday message each day. A role can be given out for that day.
Reminders
Members set a time and a note. The bot DMs them, or posts it in a channel, when it is due.
AFK
Members mark themselves away. Mentions get a reply, and their next message brings them back.
Applications
Staff applications with custom questions. Members apply with a Discord form, in a direct message, or on the website.
Invites
Track who invited each member, count joins and leaves, and post invite messages.
Autoroles
Give one or more roles to members when they join.

Widgets

Only someone with Manage Server can change this.
Commands
Everything is a slash command. Type / in Discord to see the ones this server has turned on.
Each module page lists its commands. Turning one off leaves it in Discord, and the bot replies that it is disabled. A command locked off for every server cannot be switched back on from the dashboard.
Message variables
Greetings, embeds, tickets and other messages can include these codes in any text box, including embed icons, thumbnails and images. A code with nothing to fill in is left as written.
| Code | Fills in |
|---|---|
{user} | Mentions the member. |
{username} | Their username. |
{userid} | Their user ID. |
{usericon} | A link to their avatar. Use it in an icon, thumbnail or image box. |

Some modules add their own codes, and those are listed on that module's page. Birthdays can use {age} when a year was saved. Leveling messages can use {level}. Invite and stream messages use their own lists.
Bot permissions
Adding the bot requests only the permissions its modules use, such as managing roles, channels and members. It does not request Administrator. Keep the bot's role above any role it needs to give or take away.
If a save fails because a channel is missing Send Messages, Manage Roles or a similar permission, grant that permission to the bot in the channel or on the role and save again.
Support
Questions about setup, a module, or a command can go to the support server.
Use of the bot is also covered by the terms, privacy policy and guidelines.
