Editing the bot's messages #168

Closed AmaanC closed 10 years ago

AmaanC commented 10 years ago

I think that we should have an option to have the bot edit its message instead of sending a new one. For example, if you welcome a user wrong, by using !!welcome @User, you should be able to fix that by, for example, !!welcome User edit.

If the edit parameter is used by a different user, maybe it shouldn't work, unless the other user is an owner?

If the edit parameter is used after the editing period is out, we could probably just disregard the parameter (since moving the message and editing that might be a bit hacky and silly)

Issue #27 . It's a bit difficult to implement, as you can see from the time span, and related to the core parts of the roadmap (look in the wiki).

As part of an argument it's easier, but makes parsing weirder. Making it a separate command like /tell would be OK(ish), but it's a poor replacement to supporting editing via, y'know, editing. On 21 Jan 2014 12:42, "Amaan Cheval" notifications@github.com wrote:
