 ## Please read before creating new bug tickets!
 
-- Use the `.bug` command in game - it's much easier and will generate a character report for you!
 - It's generally a good idea to ask on Discord first before raising a bug - you might be making a mistake with a command for example.
 - Please search before raising a new issue - if the bug you found already has an issue, you can add a comment to add extra info or to confirm it's still a bug
-- Please follow the template to the best of your ability.
