FilQk Guide

1. Click the Add to Discord button below.
2. Choose your server and confirm. To add a bot, you need the Manage Server permission on that server.
3. Done – FilQk only asks for a few basic permissions: View Channel, Send Messages, Embed Links, Read Message History and Send Messages in Threads. No admin rights required.

Close

FilQk is for players 18+.

Type /filqk-setup (members with Manage Server or Administrator permission) and choose one or both:

• timezone – your server's default time zone, e.g. Europe/Berlin. FilQk uses it for times a host types, if the host hasn't set their own.
• language – the language of the session cards on your server: English, German or Japanese. FilQk's private replies always follow each member's own Discord language.

Close

That's it. Times on the session cards are shown to everyone in their own local time automatically. Every member can also set their own time zone with /filqk-timezone – then the times they type are read in their time zone.

Missing a player for tonight? Type /filqk and fill in the short form:

• Game – e.g. "Valorant"
• Start – now, or in 15 minutes up to 3 hours
• Or a fixed time (optional) – 24h format, e.g. 20:30. Overrides Start.
• Players needed – how many players you still need (1–50)
• Looking for… (optional) – e.g. "Diamond+, mic, EU, PC". Your platform goes here too.

Shortcut: /filqk Valorant PC 20:00 fills in the form for you – just check it and send.

Close

FilQk posts a session card in the channel:

Close

• Players click Join – the card counts the open spots down (3 spots open → 2 → 1) until it says Full.
• When your session is full, FilQk pings you right under the card.
• Changed your mind? Players click Leave and the spot opens again. As the host, Leave lets you cancel the session for everyone.
• You can have up to 3 open sessions at a time.

Close

Tip: Right-click any message → Apps → Create FilQk (on phones: long-press the message) to turn an LFG message into a session. FilQk fills in the form from that message – you check it and send.

Close

Do you play every Friday at 9 pm? Set it up once – FilQk does the rest.

Who can set it up: members with Manage Server, Manage Events or Administrator permission.

Step by step

1. Go to the channel where your game night should be posted. FilQk needs permission to post there.
2. Type /filqk-repeat create and fill in:
   • game – e.g. "Valorant Night"
   • time – start time, e.g. 21:00
   • repeat – daily, weekly or every 2 weeks
   • spots – players needed (1–50)
   • day (optional) – for weekly and every 2 weeks: the weekday. Without it, FilQk takes the next possible day.
   • post_before (optional) – when FilQk posts the card: 1, 6, 24 (default) or 48 hours before the start
   • platform (optional) – PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch or any/crossplay (default)
   • looking_for (optional) – e.g. "chill players, voice chat"
   • timezone (optional) – e.g. Europe/Berlin. Default: your own time zone, otherwise the server's.
3. Press Enter. FilQk confirms your series and shows the next date. If that date is already within the posting time, its card is posted right away.

What happens next – automatically

• Before each date, FilQk posts a normal session card in your channel.
• Players join with one click, just like a normal session.
• 15 minutes before start, FilQk pings everyone who joined – and you as the host – right in the channel, no DMs.
• As soon as a date is posted, FilQk plans the next one. Summer/winter time is handled automatically: 9 pm stays 9 pm.

Close

Good to know:

• Up to 10 recurring series per server (running and paused ones together).
• If nobody joined, there's no reminder ping – no spam.
• If a date was missed (e.g. while the series was paused), FilQk skips it and continues with the next one – no late posts.

For pause, resume and delete, just pick the series from the list that appears.

Close

Series paused by itself? This happens if the channel was deleted, FilQk lost its permission to post there, or the confirmation of the person who set it up is missing. /filqk-repeat list shows the reason. Fix it, then use /filqk-repeat resume. (If the confirmation is missing, only the person who set the series up can resume it.)

• Join / Leave – one click on the session card.
• Your time – times on the cards are shown in your own local time automatically. If you host sessions, set your time zone once with /filqk-timezone, so the times you type are read correctly.

Close

• Reminder – if you joined a date of a recurring session, you get pinged 15 minutes before the start.
• filqk.com – every session also appears on filqk.com: in the calendar, and under Find a FilQk while it's running. Players from other servers can find your session there and fill an empty spot. Joining on the website needs no account – just a name and a contact – and counts toward the same session; the player's name shows up on the Discord card.

Close

• First use – the first time you use FilQk, you confirm once that you are 18+ and accept the Rules and Terms. If our Terms or Privacy Policy change, you'll be asked once more.

• FilQk stores only what's needed for sessions: your Discord ID and name, the sessions you created or joined, your one-time confirmation and your settings (e.g. your time zone).
• 7 days after a session ends, the names and Discord IDs in it are deleted or anonymized.
• Your confirmation and time zone are deleted after 12 months without using FilQk.
• Recurring series are stored as long as they exist. Paused series are deleted after 12 months without changes.
• Delete all your FilQk data anytime with /filqk-delete-my-data. This also cancels the sessions you host and deletes the recurring series you set up.
