# Modmail for Discord
2019-12-02 19:47:46 -05:00
Modmail Bot is a bot for [Discord ](https://discordapp.com/ ) that allows users to DM the bot to contact the server's moderators/staff

without messaging them individually or pinging them publically on the server.
These DMs get relayed to modmail *threads* , channels where staff members can reply to and talk with the user.
To the user, the entire process happens in DMs with the bot.

Inspired by Reddit's modmail system.

**⚠ Note on updating to v3.0.0:** If you're currently using a *very* old version of the bot, from before February 2018, you'll first need to update to v2.30.1 and run the bot once before updating to v3.0.0.
Always take a backup of your `db/data.sqlite` file before updating the bot.
