Some people abuse the command by pinging other users, and that’s annoying !
#limit the cookie command 🍪

Technically thats the point of the command.
The problem is folks aren't always being courteous about who they ping(and as is recently n more common at other servers, just @ing folks alphabetically on the user tab).
People can actually @ the tatsu bot for the quest or use the user ID # which avoids pinging all together, however as we know, new people don't know this
Unless something changed(even if that means a guide on how to use the commands or a courtesy rule. All we(as fellow users) can really do is ask people not to ping us when they do(as annoying as that is bc there's no guarantee someone else wont just immediately ping ya too)
On a side note, you could change your server nickname to like...
Dont Ping Crony

I have a better 💡 idea. A Tatsu worker can remove t!cookie command. So, if we want to give 
cookies, use /cookie give slash command instead. I think the slash command version for cookies is less annoying than non-slash command version.

removing a text version of a command seems a little extreme. true, you may find the slash version less annoying, but the majority of people i know find slash commands in general to be a nightmare to use. i'm guessing the problem seems to be in this server, yes? why punish people who aren't even in this server by taking away something that's leagues easier to type? instituting a new server rule regarding ping/command abuse would be better

Tbf, while a slash command might be more burdensome for the user, it at least has no impact upon others. And especially for larger servers, being the subject of constant pings simply bc of your username is not fair.
While the text command itself doesnt need to be completely removed. It shouldn't be that much harder to have a toggle so servers themselves can determine if a command is text or only slash
As per initiating a new server rule. Fundamentally I agree. In most servers, randomly ping spamming folks would get you in trouble, but bot games always seem to become the exception. It would be a nightmare for mods to police(ontop of what they already are having to address), and new users rarely read the rules as is. This isn't excusing people lacking courtesy(especially if you request a user to stop and they dont). Its difficult to find solutions for ongoing problems, especially when folks refuse to read or take advice

that may be true, but slash commands are still very temperamental and take ages longer to respond than text commands. i'm not about to use a command method that isn't stable
i understand implementing a new rule for this may create a headache for staff, especially where newbies are concerned, but there really isn't much in the way of middle ground here. it's either staff has to deal with reports of unwanted pings or users have to continue putting up with said unwanted pings. i do like the idea you pose for a toggle, which i think might help mitigate the issue without needlessly removing the command
as you already stated, newbies tend to not read the rules. thing is, just because someone's new and didn't read the rules doesn't mean they're exempt from them. i've had to say this ad nauseam in several large servers i moderate: ignorance of the rules is no excuse for breaking them. take that as you will, but regardless this has been the protocol i've followed as a moderator and administrator. going easy on newbies and/or people who couldn't be bothered to read the rules just opens the door to more problems in the future, regardless of that individual's intent

Well, that's a problem with those people, not with the command. Just block them, tell mods about them etc. This is no reason to change commands imo, it's about moderating.

Blocking them is not the solution, because there are too many users using cookie commands. But, cookies are now slash commands only and that problem is finally solved.

Oh, sad to hear that. In my opinion there was the wrong way chosen. So I can't use the normal text command global now any longer, just because some spammed pings here?
I just tried it. Wow, what a pity.

No drama, please. Cookies are just a game thing.

I'm actually happy to see the command altered to be slash command. It ultimately doesn't impact the users so much that are using the command, but it absolutely effects those being pinged from it.
Seeing as its the primary command people ping due to a quest. It wasnt just here where folks could get ping spammed(alot of other bot games have experienced this in big servers).
Any moderation was gonna be a reactionary thing, since ya cant really prevent it with new users(especially when they dont read warnings or #📝・rules) so automating the solution was really their best route. And folks arent getting ping spammed anymore just bc of their name so IMO its working
