Making a channel age-restricted
Published
Mark a channel as age-restricted in Discord, on your computer or your phone, so Martine's NSFW commands and Autoporn work there.
What it does
Age-restricted is Discord's own setting for a channel with adult content: Discord asks each member to confirm they are 18 or older before they open it. Martine's NSFW commands and Autoporn only work in channels marked this way. You need Manage Channels on the channel to change it.
On your computer
- Step 1: Edit Channel: In your server's channel list, hover the channel and click the gear beside its name. You can also right-click it and pick Edit Channel.
- Step 2: Age-Restricted Channel: On the Overview tab, switch on Age-Restricted Channel.
- Step 3: Save Changes: Press Save Changes in the bar at the bottom.
On your phone
- Step 1: Edit Channel: In your server's channel list, press and hold the channel, then tap Edit Channel.
- Step 2: Age-Restricted Channel: Scroll down and switch on Age-Restricted Channel.
- Step 3: Save: Tap Save at the top right.
Discord moves things around in its app now and then. Its own steps are in Discord's help article on age-restricted channels (opens in a new tab).
A thread follows its channel: a thread in an age-restricted channel counts as age-restricted for Martine too. To change a thread, change its channel.
With commands
,nsfwchannel: Martine sends these steps, with a picture for Desktop, Android and iOS. Its Auto Setup button marks the channel for you, and pressed again, switches it back. You and Martine both need Manage Channels for it.
The Commands page lists the NSFW commands under NSFW, hidden until you ask to see them.
If it doesn't work
- No switch in the channel's settings? You need Manage Channels on that channel.
- On your computer, the change applies only once you press Save Changes.
- Martine still says the channel isn't age-restricted? Run the command in the channel you changed, or in a thread inside it.
- Auto Setup refused? Martine needs Manage Channels in that channel too.
- Discord asks you to verify your age? In some countries Discord checks a member's age before they can open an age-restricted channel. That is Discord's own step, and its help article explains it.
- Still stuck? Ask in the support server (opens in a new tab).
