Remove your slash commands enforcement

Look, I am tired of how these slash commands are. They are so complex to type up, break easily, and are a strain on my server. Can we please switch back to regular commands, and break the enforcement? I don't like slash commands, and neither does anyone else. Too useless. Just ask your average server owner (and not some discord api simp) and they will agree. Thanks. Lets remove slash commands :)

    I'm not sure who you've been talking to, but application commands are great. They're much more user friendly, and almost always easier to set up. With them having a standardized way of argument parsing, and localization. They're far from useless. Call me "some discord api simp", but I see slash commands as preferable over the old ways. Sure enforcing them with how rushed they've been might not be the best thing, but removing them is far and away a terrible solution.

    Disagree completely. All they do is break, they are confusing, stupid, and hard to implement. And if you have a slow server they break. I dont know which LEECH invented slash commands but it has to GO.

    How are they hard to implement? The only part that can be "hard" is registering them, receiving them is standardized and very easy to follow and build an architecture around. The menu to use them can be cluttered right now but they've got plans to fix that in the future. Trying to toss them out the window just for a few grievances you have is completely and utterly stupid.

    If you're finding them hard to implement, you need to brush up on your coding skills/knowledge; most API wrappers that are kept up to date have builders for application commands which make it stupidly easy to implement them. The old way meant each bot had a different way of running their commands, and it was a lot to remember for servers with a quite a few bots: having to remember prefixes, what commands each bot has, etc. Yes, there is room for improvements and originally I vowed against ever using application commands; but now that they've added more functionality, fixed some bugs and whatnot and now they're so much easier to use than the traditional method.

    I agree with you that we shouldn't have only had 9 months to switch our applications over, especially those with multiple bots.. but it's not as bad as you think it is if you approach it with an open mind.
