# Setting Up the Bot

## Inviting to The Server

Discord makes this step pretty easy. To get the bot added to a server, use [this link](https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=355144450437021697\&scope=bot\&permissions=3072) and select the appropriate server. This link will give the bot the minimal permissions it needs.

## Initial Bot Configuration

After adding the bot to the server, some configuration should be done. The default banned word is 'defaultbannedword', so that should be changed. This is done using the [vtswapban ](https://bwbdiscord.gitbook.io/banned-word-tracker/commands#vtswapban-less-than-target_index-greater-than-less-than-word_to_ban-greater-than)command, and this example will ban the classic banned word: "vore"

```
>>> !vtswapban 1 vore
```

By default the bot will wait half an hour between calling out users for referencing a given banned word. If desired, that can be changed using the [vtdelay ](https://bwbdiscord.gitbook.io/banned-word-tracker/commands#vtdelay-hours-minutes-less-than-seconds-greater-than)command. This example effectively removes the delay.

```
>>> !vtdelay 0
```

By default, the bot uses the prefix `!vt`. If desired, that can be changed using the [vtprefix](https://bwbdiscord.gitbook.io/banned-word-tracker/commands#vtprefix-new_prefix) command. This example sets the prefix to `$test` instead.

```
>>> !vtprefix $test
```
