Welcome message too fast

[MyUncleSam]

We have an entry channel which is only for authentication. To prevent unknown users from syping this channel we disabled the history.

Some users now told us, that they haven't get any welcome message at all. Maybe the bot was too fast by posting the welcome message?

So for me it would be great to be able to add an delay in seconds for the welcome message (e.g. 5 seconds).

Do what we did and HIDE that channel once your authed the only thing's you will get in there is !auth 903849534. You can now do this as Discord removed the entry/default channel and all channels can be hidden.

Added one second delay to sending the welcome message. Please test it

Any update on this ?

On our server it seems still too fast. I have no idea why, but users joind and do not see the message. Our entry channel has no message history which may cause this problem. Can you raise this or make it customizable using the config file? Currently I would set it to something about 10 seconds to be sure they get it.

I added a one second delay the other day is this still too fast ?

[MyUncleSam]

I have this one second delay which was included by you. And yes it is still too fast. Personaly I think this is a problem with the deactivated history for users in this channel. That is why I would let the message appear after ~ 10 seconds to be sure they are in the channel (because the user cannot retrieve the history).

It's not as simple as that. waiting for 10 seconds before sending it will actually create a 10 second thread lock.
