This channel runs on the settings Counting starts with. You can change every one of them on the Counting page.
When someone gets it wrong
A wrong number gets the wrong reaction. Then you choose what happens. Pick one to see it in #counting.
1,287
1,288
1,290
@Tom ruined it at 1,288! The next number is 1. Record: 1,288
Tom got the Ruined it role, taken away again in 60 minutes.
The count goes back to the first number. That is 1 unless you pick another number to start from, and it is also where a fresh game begins.
Whoever ruined it can get a role, like Ruined it, taken away again after the minutes you pick.
Your channel, your rules
Six rules decide what counts. Here is what the bot does with each kind of message.
The number, or the number then anything
Pick what a count is. The number on its own keeps the channel tidy. The number, then anything lets people add a few words after it.
- 67Counts
- 67 nearly thereCounts with then anything
Count with maths
Switch it on and 6*7 counts as 42. Numbers and + - * / ^ ( ) only, so nothing else sneaks in.
- 6*7Counts as 42
- (10-3)^2Counts as 49
- six times sevenNot a number
A wait between counts
Set a wait in seconds, or 0 for none. A number that comes too soon, right or wrong, is deleted with a short note and is not a mistake.
- 71Counts
- 72, a second laterDeleted, no harm done
Twice in a row
Off, members take turns. Whoever counted last waits for someone else, and a number they type is deleted without ruining the count. On, anyone can count at any time.
- Tom: 67Counts
- Tom: 68Deleted, count is safe
Talking in the channel
Off, messages that are not a number are deleted, so the channel is only the count. On, they stay, and only numbers count.
- gg everyoneDeleted when off
- gg everyoneStays when on
1,000 with commas counts
Big numbers are easier to read with commas, so people can write them either way.
- 1,000Counts
- 1000Counts
Start counting from 1 or any number you like. It is also the number a mistake goes back to.
Celebrate the big numbers
Milestones, new records and your own reactions give people a reason to keep counting.
Milestones
Every so many numbers, 100 or any number you pick, the bot posts a message, gives a role, or both.
1,300
1,300! @Vez hit the milestone. Keep going!
Vez got the Counting legend role.
A new record
When the count passes the channel's best, the bot says so, once a run.
1,288
1,289
New record! @Dax just passed the old best of 1,288. Keep going!
Reactions you pick
Choose what the bot reacts with on a right number, a wrong number and a save. Add as many as you like to each, server emoji too.

Post counts as the member
With webhook mode, the bot posts every right count again with the member's name and picture and deletes theirs, so nobody can edit a count afterwards.

lol(edited)
Fabian counted 66, then edited it. Now nobody can see what comes next.
- Anyone can edit their count afterwards
- An edited count leaves everyone guessing

Fabian's own message was deleted and posted again with his name and picture.
- Nobody can edit a count afterwards
- Every count still shows the member's name and picture
- Switch it on under Look on the Counting page
The bot needs Manage Webhooks and Manage Messages in the counting channel. Right counts get no reaction in this mode.
Commands for members and staff
Five commands come with Counting. Pick one to see the reply.
The next number here is 1,250. Record: 1,288 Saves: 2
Only you can see this
For anyone who has lost track. The reply only shows for them, so the channel stays clean.
Replies only show for whoever used the command, so the count is never interrupted.
One bot, a game for every server
Give each server its own counting, from the server menu or from BotPanel.
Different settings in each server
Pick a server in the menu at the top of the Counting page and give it its own rules, mistakes, saves and milestones. Every counting channel keeps its own number and record.
- Counting channel
- #counting
- A mistake
- Back to a checkpoint every 100

BotPanel: server admins run their own game

It's made of builder blocks
Counting is ordinary events and commands. Open them in the Command Builder, add your own blocks, and write numbers your way with the new Format a Number option.
Open the events in the Command Builder
Every check the bot makes is a block you can see. Pick an event to see what runs, then add your own blocks wherever you like.
- Is this a counting channel?Every message in your counting channels is checked.
- Is it a number?Reads 1,000 with commas, and maths like 6*7.
- Did they count last?With twice in a row off, a note, and it is deleted.
- Is it too soon after the last count?Only with a wait between counts.
- Is it the next number?Right: a reaction and a point. Wrong: a save, a checkpoint or a fresh start.
- Your block: Send a MessageTell #mod-log who ruined the count.
A message is sent, with one block of your own added at the end.
Format a Number
NewA new option in Manipulate some text. Show any number as 1,249, 1.2K, 1st, in words or in Roman numerals, in Counting's messages or in any command.

All of it lives on one Counting page in your dashboard. Pick a tab to see it, every setting on it, and what it does in Discord.
Pick a channel and the rules

How to set up a Discord counting bot
What a counting bot does, why counting channels work, and what Counting is built from.
What a counting bot does
A counting bot runs a counting channel. Members count up together, one number per message, and the bot checks every one. A right number gets a reaction, a wrong one ruins the count, and the whole server tries to beat its record.
Doing that by hand means someone watching the channel all day. A counting bot never misses a number, and a BotGhost bot does it under your own name.
Why counting channels work
Counting is the simplest game a server can have. Anyone can join in with one message, it keeps a channel busy between bigger events, and a long run turns into something the whole server looks after.
Saves and checkpoints stop one slip from wiping out weeks of counting, and milestones give people a reason to come back for the next round number.
Built from ordinary blocks
Under the page, Counting is two events, A message is sent and A count is deleted, plus the /count and /count-staff commands, all made of the builder's own blocks. Open them any time to see exactly what runs, and add your own blocks wherever you like.
