🔧 Independent settings

Some of the settings in the project do not have corresponding commands, and operate based entirely on events.

Setting	Scope	Description
badnames	Server	A comma-separated list of substrings to search for in usernames to auto-kick.
greet.channel	Server	The channel where greeting messages should be sent. Defaults to an empty value. Both the channel and message must be set before this feature will be enabled.
greet.message	Server	The message that will be used to greet new users when they join the server. If set to the default, no greeting will be posted. You may use the {name} token in your message, and it will be replaced with the new member's username. The {mention} token will mention the user. The {nl} token will be replaced with a line break (new line).
nameonly	Server	If set to anything other than the default value, the bot will only respond if it is mentioned directly.
nameonly.channel	Channel	Like nameonly, but this setting applies to individual channels.
prefix	Server	Change the bot's command prefix. (Default: !) The bot will respond when mentioned directly, regardless of this setting.
