discord-shadowban

Why ban your users when you can instead shadowban them?

Delete any and all messages after they're sent, all powered by discord.js

Config:

There are two files called config.example.json and users.example.json. Copy both of them and rename the copies to config.json and users.json. Then fill in these values inside config.json

name: Name the bot whatever you want
status: status of bot - online, idle, invisible, dnd
loglevel: 0 - no output except ready, 1 - logs the time and author of message, 2 - logs the time, author and content of message.
token: your super secret token from discord

Invite link:

Go to your bot application and paste the client ID for your bot to <YOUR-CLIENT-ID-HERE> in this link to get the invite link

https://discordapp.com/api/oauth2/authorize?clientid=<YOUR-CLIENT-ID-HERE>&permissions=73728&scope=bot

Permissions: Manage Messages and Read Message History

Starting the bot:

We're using pnpm here but you can just use npm if you'd like. If you don't know what pnpm is it's an alternative to npm. You can install it as a global package.

1. Install Nodejs (I'm using NodeJS 18 LTS)
2. Optionally install pnpm
3. Run pnpm install or npm install in your project root
4. Run pnpm run start or npm run start. If the console shows "Ready" then you're done
