# Modmail for Discord
|
|
A bot for [Discord](https://discordapp.com/) that allows users to DM the bot to contact the server's entire mod team.
|
|
These DMs get relayed to a modmail server where each user gets their own channel, or "thread".
|
|
Moderators and admins can then reply to these threads, and these responses are relayed back to the original user as a DM.
|
|
|
|
Inspired by Reddit's modmail system.
|
|
|
|
