Troubleshooting

Bot won’t respond to commands

Ensure the bot has permission to send messages in the channel
Try using /ctf-list to see if the bot registers commands
Check that you have the latest version by re-inviting the bot

Leaderboard not updating

Verify the leaderboard message exists in the channel
Run /ctf-leaderboard again to refresh
Ensure members are solving challenges in the correct guild

Event workspace not created

Check that you have Manage Channels and Manage Roles permissions
Ensure the bot has these permissions too
Try the /setup command again with a simpler event name

First-blood not working

First-blood requires points mode to be enabled (/ctf-config-points)
Run /enable-first-blood to activate the feature
Verify the percentages are configured correctly
