The Problem

Discord's Audit Log only creates an entry if a moderator deletes someone else's message.
If a user deletes their own message, the audit stays silent, what creates a logic gap:

How do you tell the difference between a user or moderator cleaning up the message?

PoC described

I've never seen a definitive solution that actually handles the stacked deletion problem, so I created this gist.
By caching the state of the last known deletion action, we can pinpoint exactly when a new action occurs, even if multiple moderators are active or if one moderator is deleting messages rapidly (one by one, not bulk).

Why Free Hosting is Bad

Contact Noelle for any concerns or questions with this gist

When looking for hosting your bot, free services and/or providers that claim to support hosting Discord Bots. Do not use them. Why? Let me explain.

The Drawbacks

Free hosts are providers who specialize in offering an free platform to host projects.

Setting Up KeePass

I frequently see discussions around which password manager to use. I personally use [KeePass][main]. This is an open source program that allows you to have control in your data. The database format is encrypted so as long as you keep your master password secure, the chance of someone getting access to your passwords is practically zero.

This document is just meant as a signpost to steer you in the right direction of how to set up KeePass across multiple operating systems and have your file synced in the cloud all while paying $0 and not having to set up a single server to do so.

Why KeePass?

You can skip this if you don't care

discord.py MentionableTree implementation

My implementation of a CommandTree subclass which allows for finding a mention for a given app command.

How to use?

Just copy the entire third file into a new python file of your project, and import MentionableTree from it.

You can also use git clone [gist link] folder_name and then from folder_name import MentionableTree

I restricted these to client-only QoL features that I thought were small.

Reverse sorting search
Group by Guild in Emoji panel so you can see what guild an emoji is in
Disabling "GIF" or "Gift" buttons in the message box
Hover over for complete timestamp on messages
- Maybe the same for embed timestamps?
More time information in call messages (e.g. how long it lasted for) (I know it's provided in the message since I have it in d.py)
Lock channels so you don't accidentally move them by dragging (this one might be less trivial iunno)
~~Character count indicator for knowing if you're reaching 2000 characters.~~ too hard apparently
