#### **Thread Slowmode**

#### **Question Generation Setup**

Choose the type of questions that are sent daily, either the ones already created with the module or custom questions that you can input.

#### Custom Questions

Input your custom questions in this section, make sure to separate each question with a normal comma. You can use special comma characters such as `٫` to put commas inside of your actual questions. *This setting is only visible with* [#question-generation-setup](#question-generation-setup "mention") *set to "Customize Questions".*

#### **Skip Previously Asked Questions**

When enabled all existing questions will be asked first before starting a new round. This can be used to prevent questions from being sent more than once.
