!permit

The !permit command temporarily exempts a specified user from the bot’s automatic link filtering/timeout system. This allows them to post links for a short duration without being punished.

Usage

To grant temporary link permission:

!permit <username> [duration_seconds]

Examples

Permit a user for the default 60 seconds:

Example chat

ModUser:!permit HelpfulViewer

StreamElements:@HelpfulViewer, you have been permitted to post links for 60 seconds.

Permit a user for 120 seconds:

Example chat

BroadcasterName:!permit TrustedFriend 120

StreamElements:@TrustedFriend, you have been permitted to post links for 120 seconds.

Parameters

• <username> (Required): The exact username of the viewer to permit.
• [duration_seconds] (Optional): The duration (in seconds) the permit should last. Defaults to 60 seconds if not specified.

Configuration

• This command relies on the Link Protection filter being enabled within the Chatbot -> Spam Filters section of the StreamElements Dashboard.
• The default permit duration (if not specified in the command) can be configured in the Link Protection filter settings.
• The command’s permission level can be adjusted under Chatbot -> Chat Commands -> Default Commands.

Related Commands

• !level: Used to view or set a user’s permanent permission level, which can also control link permissions.
