I see there’s a badge called Licensed, described as “Completed our advanced user tutorial.” Topics here suggest the advanced tutorial can be started by typing “@discobot start advanced user”, but on my hosted instance, it’s not understood. What am I missing?

Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.

[תמונה] nedbat: Topics here suggest the advanced tutorial can be started by typing “@discobot start advanced user”, but on my hosted instance, it’s not understood. The command to start the advanced discobot tutorial is: @discobot start advanced tutorial Maybe details about starting the advanced tutorial should be included in the post that is created when a user posts @discobot display help ?

Thanks, that works! Yes, it seems entirely reasonable to me for “display help” to show this. Now that I know the incantation, I can see how the current help message is trying to tell me what to say, but it is far from obvious.

Doesn’t it? @discobot display help

I currently know how to do the following things: @discobot start tutorial Starts one of the following interactive tutorials: tutorial, advanced tutorial. @discobot roll 2d6 :game_die: 3, 6 @discobot quote :left_speech_bubble: Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you — Princess Diana @discobot fortune :crystal_ball: You may rely on it

Looks correct to me ↑ ↑ @nedbat

If I could suggest an edit: [תמונה] discobot: I currently know how to do the following things: @discobot start tutorial @discobot start advanced tutorial Starts one of the interactive tutorials. It was not clear to me that the “tutorial, advanced tutorial” part was meant to be used as part of the command.

[תמונה] nedbat: It was not clear to me that the “tutorial, advanced tutorial” part was meant to be used as part of the command. Ditto! My moderators have raised the same concerns.

I mean .. maybe? Do we really need multiple examples, e.g. does someone read @discobot roll 2d6 and really need to see @discobot roll 12d20 @discobot roll 1d10 to understand that the numbers can be substituted as needed? :thinking: Although it is fair to note that only the tutorial expects different words, e.g. @discobot start {name-of-tutorial} where {name-of-tutorial} can be either tutorial or advanced tutorial.

When there’s only two possibilities, instead of every natural number, it makes sense to just spell it out.
