1. 🛠️ Common Issues & Fixes

VanGuard isn’t responding to commands

• Cause: This can happen if the bot is offline, or if you’ve entered an incorrect prefix.

• Fix:

  1. Ensure the bot is online by checking its status.

  2. Use the correct prefix (! by default). Double-check your custom prefix settings with !prefix.

Commands are not working after setting a custom prefix

• Cause: Custom prefixes may not have been saved properly or there might be an issue with the configuration.

• Fix:

  1. Try using the !prefix command again to set your desired prefix.

  2. If the issue persists, verify your prefix configuration by running !config to review your settings.

AutoMod is blocking harmless messages

• Cause: AutoMod’s spam or filter settings may be too sensitive.

• Fix:

  1. Use !config automod to adjust AutoMod’s sensitivity to spam or other filters.

  2. You can turn off specific filters that may be causing the issue.

VanGuard’s responses are delayed

• Cause: Network issues or high server load can lead to delays.

• Fix:
