## Help and links

Run `/help` for a short introduction and links to the command list, invite page, support server and feedback form:

<discord-messages class="not-prose">
	<discord-message profile="aethor">
		<discord-embed slot="embeds" embed-title="Aethor help" color="#41ebf4">
			<discord-embed-description slot="description">Use Aethor to collect suggestions, let members vote, and track each idea from submission to completion.</discord-embed-description>
			<discord-embed-footer slot="footer" footer-image="/logo-round.webp">Aethor</discord-embed-footer>
		</discord-embed>
		<discord-action-row slot="components">

		<discord-action-row slot="components">
			<discord-button type="secondary"><BotEmoji name="feedback" /> Share feedback</discord-button>
		</discord-action-row>
	</discord-message>
</discord-messages>

Run `/invite` when you want to add Aethor to another server or install its user commands for yourself:

<discord-messages class="not-prose">
	<discord-message profile="aethor">
		<discord-embed slot="embeds" embed-title="Invite Aethor" color="#41ebf4">
			<discord-embed-description slot="description">Add Aethor to your server to collect and manage suggestions.</discord-embed-description>
			<discord-embed-footer slot="footer" footer-image="/logo-round.webp">Aethor</discord-embed-footer>
		</discord-embed>
		<discord-action-row slot="components">
			<discord-button url={INVITE}><BotEmoji name="server_install" /> Add to server</discord-button>
			<discord-button url={buildUserInstallUrl(DISCORD_CLIENT_ID)}><BotEmoji name="user_install" /> Install for yourself</discord-button>
			<discord-button url={DISCORD}><BotEmoji name="support" /> Support server</discord-button>
		</discord-action-row>
	</discord-message>
</discord-messages>

## Language

- `/language user` sets your personal language. Anyone can use it.
- `/language server` sets the language of the bot's public messages (suggestion embeds, ticket panels, nudges). Only members with Manage Messages can use it.

Your personal language only changes replies meant for you. Public posts always use the server language.

<Cmd cmd="/language server locale:en" />

## Softban

`/softban` bans a member and immediately unbans them, which deletes their messages from the last 4 days without keeping them banned. It requires the Ban Members permission.

<discord-messages class="not-prose">
	<discord-message profile="aethor">Softbanned <strong>SomeUser</strong> and cleared their recent messages.</discord-message>
</discord-messages>

<Cmd cmd="/softban user:@SomeUser" />

The target is required. Aethor rejects attempts to target yourself, Aethor, the server owner, a user who is no longer a server member, or anyone whose highest role is not below both your highest role and Aethor's. If Discord accepts the ban but the immediate unban fails, Aethor reports that the member is still banned so staff can restore access manually.
