Intent for bots to report messages to T&S #2169

Closed tandpfun closed 3 years ago

tandpfun commented 3 years ago

Description This new intent would allow bots to specify to report a message to T&S when deleted, or just have the option to store the message in Discord's DB even after deletion.

Why This is Needed On most big servers, bots handle antiraid, instantly mass deleting messages from those involved in raids. Sadly, when messages are deleted by bots, they are completely removed from Discord's database, making it hard or impossible to report the users. This could also apply for message filtering for bad words or copypastas, so bots could log what was deleted, and the message link, so it could be reported to T&S more easily.

Alternatives Considered T&S most definitely can't handle a giant influx in reports form bots, so I think it would be useful to have a completely new property to just save the message in Discord's DB, so that later, staff or server owners can report the user with the message link.

Additional Details Mason was mentioned by kadybat in the devs server after I suggested it, just putting it here to officially suggest it.

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion. We aren't going to let automated reports take place at this time - and I suspect it will end up being incredibly noisy / low signal to noise ratio anyways.

Just ban the bots from your sever - this is actually good signal (along with a few other secret things we look at.) to detect these kinds of activities.

🤔 is banning bots supported? the option doesn't show on iOS and is an accepted bug for Desktop

(unless you meant the raid accounts, not actual bots)

We are talking about the user bots sorry
