Still stuck?

If a command does nothing at all, confirm you're actually on the admin list, see How to Become Admin. If one command errors but the rest work fine, double check the spelling and argument order, most of these are case-insensitive but picky about spacing.

Did this solve it?

If you are still stuck, our team can look at your server directly.
