Bracket Notation

In addition to the slash-commands listed above, Erasmus will respond to all verse references surrounded in brackets (ex. [John 1:1]) anywhere in a message. By default, Erasmus will look up the verse using the user's default version (set with /version set), the servers's default version (/serverprefs version set), or the ESV. Users can also specify a version to use by appending the version abbreviation after the verse (ex. [John 1:1 KJV]).

Data Privacy Policy

Erasmus retains the following data:

• A user's internal Discord ID (a snowflake) ONLY if the user sets a preferred version using /version set (this can be deleted using /version clear)
• A guild's internal Discord ID (a snowflake) ONLY if one of the following conditions is met:
  • A guild administrator sets a preferred version for the guild using /serverprefs version set (this can be deleted using /serverprefs version clear)
  • A guild administrator schedules the automatic daily bread posts for the guild using /serverprefs daily-bread set (this can be deleted using /serverprefs daily-bread stop)

Erasmus never retains message content.
