Anti Ghost Ping
Exposes it when someone pings you and deletes the message right away.
In the panel under: Moderation, Anti Ghost Ping
A ghost ping is when someone mentions you, a role or @everyone and deletes the message right away. You get the notification but find nothing. It's a popular provocation and otherwise hard to prove.
This module makes it visible.
How it works
The bot remembers messages with a mention. If one of them is deleted within 5 seconds of being sent, it counts as a ghost ping and is reported.
Where it's reported
The report always appears in the channel where the ghost ping happened. That's the point: the person who was pinged should see what happened.
You can also set a Log Channel for your team. The report there includes the original message.
Settings
| Setting | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Detect User Mentions | Reports deleted messages that mentioned a specific member |
| Detect Role Mentions | The same for roles |
| Detect @everyone / @here | The same for mass mentions |
| Also Show in Channel Notice | Shows the text of the deleted message in the public report too |
| Whitelisted Roles | Members with one of these roles never trigger a report |
| Log Channel | Optional team log |
| Embed Color | Accent color of the report |
Put your moderation roles on the whitelist. A moderator who deletes a message with a mention is just doing their job.
