Reaction roles: One of Carl bot's best features is the ability to set and define roles for members and moderators, which can be extremely beneficial for large communities.

There are more than 250 roles to choose from, and it is an effective way of limiting and banning spammers that can sneak into your Discord server. You can also write neat embeds without having to type out each emoji or role and can blacklist or whitelist available to your members.

Log chats and everything else: you can also log every message that occurs in your server, member updates, number of members joined and left any updates you applied, and much more. It is a helpful tool to keep a backlog of all the events on your server.

AutoMod to moderate effectively even when you're offline: configuring AutoMod with Carl bot is highly beneficial as you can set the limit of the punishment members can receive for breaking any rules, setting those rules, handling spam, offensive language, and much more.

Welcome new members: create automatic welcome messages for your new members or members who are leaving, and easily embed them with different variables.

Permission system: the permission system in the Carl bot allows you to manage command rules in bulk from the main dashboard. It creates a system, where you're not annoying anyone else. And once set up, you won't have to interfere unless any new update or upgrade is required. It also allows you to customize commands and use the bot's potential to mutate commands' behavior or override default settings with ease.
