Regex for messages containing @here/@everyone ? #5

Open Lustris opened 4 years ago

One big issues with webhooks is that they can mention @everyone and there's no current way to disable it. This can be done by quoting a message with additional content.

What do you mean by "additional content"? The bot quotes messages using embeds instead of copying the content directly which means mentions will not actually send notifications 🤔

@Lustris Thanks for the explanation. Indeed we don't have any way to restrict an usage of @everyone / @here via webhook.

I honestly would like to respect the original post rather than modifying the content though it might cause this problem. Checking if the bot itself have a permission to use @everyone before re-posting the additional content through webhook may help resolving this issue.

I'm gonna continue to seek for the solution and keep you posted🙏

Thank you!! I'll be waiting for the solution! I thought of 2 methods while I was wondering if there was a permission check for the bot.

  1. Having a setting to post quotes as a bot instead of a webhook.
  2. Ignoring the quote if message content contains @here, @everyone.
