Counters
LiveChannels whose name shows a number.
Set up a counter
A counter is a channel whose name Axaro rewrites: 👥 Members: 1,204. A voice channel locked for speaking works well — it sits at the top of the list and nobody writes in it.
| Setting | Effect |
|---|---|
channelId | The channel Axaro renames |
kind | What it counts: members, boosts, channels or roles |
template | The name, where {count} is replaced by the number |
The number is grouped according to the server’s language — “1,204” in English, “1 204” in French — because a channel name is read at a glance, and four digits stuck together have to be read twice.
/counters updates everything right away. The automatic pass runs every ten minutes; nobody wants to wait to see whether the name they just wrote looks right.Why ten minutes
Discord only allows two renames per channel every ten minutes. Going over does not slow Axaro down: it puts the channel on hold for everyone, including the team who might want to rename it by hand.
Axaro therefore asks for nothing when the wanted name is already the channel’s current one, which is the case on most passes — a server does not gain a member every ten minutes.
