* when enabled, the deny commands settings disables commands from being used in the specified channel.
* when someone uses a mimu command in a channel where commands are denied, mimu will respond with a message stating such.
{% hint style="info" %}
autoresponders and enabled pick spawn channels both still function in channels where commands are denied.\
to disable autoresponders in a denied channel as well, we recommend using `{denychannel:}` or `{requirechannel:}`variables, with more info [here](https://docs.mimu.bot/autoresponder/resources/variables-placeholders-and-functions)
{% endhint %}
* to add a channel, use `/set deny channels` -- a dropdown menu with the server's channels will appear. you can then add the channels you'd like to deny mimu commands in.
* to change the message that gets sent when someone uses a command in a channel that doesn't allow such, use `/set deny message message:text here`
{% hint style="warning" %}
changing the deny commands message is a **premium server** feature.
