Imagine a discord server with thousand of bots using slash commands, if you type
/
, it could be hard to find the bot that you want to execute a command to, specially when you don't know the bot commands. If that happens, you could just use@Bot
at the beginning of your message, then it would show all commands that belongs to that Bot, and using something like@Bot help
, would execute the help (or any other) command from that bot.This doesn't remove the possibility to use
/
, it's just an alternative. People would prefer use the@Bot
syntax if they don't know the bot commands, so that he can see all of the available commands ofX
bot without seeing other bot commands. If you're thinking aboutWhat if I want to mention the bot and not execute a command?
It's the same problem about using/
, you must type the prefix then get rid of the menu. It's not really a problem, since you can just place a character before the mention or just escape it.A lot of people suggested allowing custom prefix for bots, which would work the same as
/
. That would be a problem since people could abuse of it, with@Bot
it would be hard to find a way to abuse it, since you would need to mention the bot in order for it to work, and not type a set of characters.@bot would work when mentioning X bot
