# Auto Delete Timer

Designate a auto-removal time for LFG Requests!

## Usage

In order to access this option visit any text or thread channel and type **/**, then select **/setup**. Then select from the dropdown **🗑️ Setup Auto-Delete Timer for LFG Requests**.

Keeping a well organized LFG Channel is a great concern to some. We provide the option to set a Auto-Delete timer on all new LFG Posts, so you can ensure old LFG Posts don't clog your channels.

This **/setup** option allows you to automatically delete LFG Posts after a certain amount of minutes.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Tip:** in order to avoid abuse, **/setup** can only be accessed by users and roles with the permissions of Administrator or Manage Channels.
{% endhint %}

![Simply select your desired option to proceed!](https://2783831204-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fw9RzKL1DbOX4aV4ym0yC%2Fuploads%2FugzmOyTrLLewlPi06E9Z%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=5f5b5991-4178-4fd2-b8d5-8090683a851c)

### Available Sub-Options

Upon selecting **🗑️ Setup Auto-Delete Timer for LFG Requests**, you will be presented with choices:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="⏲️ Setup Auto Delete Timer" %}
This will make new LFG Posts automatically delete themselves after a specified period of minutes, in order to help with clearing space for new LFG Posts.

**Response Required:** In order to specify an auto delete timer, respond by typing in the same channel a number for desired **minutes**. (**Ex:** `15`)

{% hint style="info" %}
**Tip:** ensure to not include any letters or special characters, only digits **minimum** 5.
{% endhint %}

![If you do not setup a Auto Delete timer then posts will remain in their channels until manually deleted.](https://2783831204-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fw9RzKL1DbOX4aV4ym0yC%2Fuploads%2FPgGBFKFvI7ObNhQSTVVN%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=df371579-da77-4db1-8ab0-2391d3118a43)
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="❌ Remove Auto Delete Timer" %}
This will remove your current Auto Delete Timer from new LFG Posts, thus no posts will ever be auto deleted. Unlike the prior option, this does not have a required response, simply select it to take effect. 

![If your server is Opt-In to the Global LFG Network, your newest LFG Post always replaces your last LFG Post.](https://2783831204-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fw9RzKL1DbOX4aV4ym0yC%2Fuploads%2FbUaoBN5BwGXq8lwf30ND%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=7fe46e6b-7af8-4095-a7af-310744b7e4a5)
