Can the bots permissions be locked? #23

Closed muuvmuuv closed 3 years ago

muuvmuuv commented 3 years ago

Normally bots we add to our server have permissions locked without any ability to modify them and their role has a locked symbol and always stays on top of the roles list. This makes it much cleaner and easier to see which role is for a bot only. Bots typically also do role names in a slug format "auto-delete" to better indicate it is a role not a name.

PS: why do I need to use @/AutoDelete and not a bot command? It's more convenient to use a bot command like "&", isn't it?

Thanks for the bot, it is working great!

Why when one already exists which just needs some modifications? The thing with the @ mentioning is just a question. Maybe the headline was too offending sorry 🙄

Adults don't get "offended". They throw tantrums when someone believes differently! You can run the bot yourself and do whatever you want with it. There is no need in depending on the authors hosting choices

For the mentioning part, I agree with this design decision. As this bot won't get a lot of commands by design, taking a prefix in your server is... pretty meh, IMHO.

And, yes, the bot only needs the Manage Messages permission.
