Command history deleted about discal-discord-bot HOT 3 CLOSED

Honestly, just use another boy to log message deletions. We designed it this way as keeping all the commands in chat became confusing and just flooded the channel.

Hm, using another boy would be discouraging. This bot would be pretty easy to change. We saw specific function that deletes messages. We think it shouldn't delete messages as it shouldn't be destructive with input.

We created a separate channel to type all these commands with only a few people exposed to it (server owner and another role). This works for any chatty bot and keeps the noise down.

What's also inconvenient, as a keyboard shortcut to go back to previous messages (default up arrow), editing previous messages is quicker to copy and re-send (although it edits the message and we don't believe the bot hooks to edited messages).

Could this bot be configured for its verbosity so that it doesn't delete messages?

We have no intention of walking back the way the bot was designed. This system is by far better than it used to be.

Of course, most people have a dedicated channel for bot commands, still doesn't change the level of spam the bot can create if we didn't purge commands. Even if its not pinging users, it isn't helpful.

We don't hook into message edits, and most bots don't. It would break quite a lot of things and is just way too much work to even implement when it would break more things than it would fix.

Again, we have no intention of changing how the bot handles these specific commands. Just use another bot to log deleted commands.
