## What is MessageMod?

MessageMod is a **message deletion tool for moderators** that logs everything. Right-click any message, select **Delete Message**, and it's gone — with a full audit trail preserved in a private channel.

No slash commands to memorize, no typing message IDs. Just right-click and delete.

---

## How It Works

1. **Right-click** any message in your server
2. Select **Apps > Delete Message**
3. The message is deleted and a detailed log is posted to your audit channel

That's it. The entire deleted message — text, embeds, and attachments — is preserved in the audit log so nothing is lost.

---

## Audit Logging

Every deletion is logged to a private channel with:

- **Full message content** — The complete text of the deleted message
- **Attachments** — Images and files are re-uploaded to the audit log (up to 8MB each)
- **Embed count** — Number of embeds the message contained
- **Who deleted it** — The moderator who performed the deletion
- **Original author** — Who wrote the message
- **Channel** — Where the message was deleted from
- **Timestamp** — When the message was originally posted

**Denied attempts are also logged** — protected user attempts, age limit blocks, and audit log protection attempts all appear in the audit channel so admins have full visibility.

---

## Access Control

MessageMod uses **Discord's built-in integration settings** for permissions — no bot-specific allow/deny commands to manage.

### Setup
1. Run `/message-deletion setup` to set your audit log channel
2. Go to **Server Settings > Integrations > MessageMod**
3. Assign which roles or members can use the **Delete Message** command
4. Optionally restrict the command to specific channels

This is the same system Discord uses for all bot commands. Your moderators and admins already know how it works.

## Features

### Protected Users
Prevent specific users' messages from being deleted:
- `/message-deletion protect` — Shield a user's messages from deletion
- `/message-deletion unprotect` — Remove the protection

Useful for protecting bot messages, server announcements, or specific staff members.

### Message Age Limit
Control how far back moderators can delete:
- `/message-deletion age-limit` — Set a maximum message age (in hours)

Set it to 24 hours so moderators can only delete recent messages, or leave it unlimited.

### Audit Log Protection
The bot's own audit log messages **cannot be deleted** through the Delete Message command, ensuring your deletion records are tamper-proof.

## Why MessageMod?

| | MessageMod | Discord's Built-in Delete |
|--|-----------|--------------------------|
| Audit log with full content | Yes | No (only "message deleted" event) |
| Attachment preservation | Yes | No |
| Protected users | Yes | No |
| Message age limits | Yes | No |
| Per-command access control | Yes (via Discord settings) | Role-based only |
| Denied attempt logging | Yes | No |

Discord's built-in audit log only tells you *that* a message was deleted — not what it said. MessageMod preserves the full content so you always have context.

---

## Getting Started

1. **Invite** MessageMod to your server
2. **Run** `/message-deletion setup audit-log-channel: #mod-logs`
3. **Configure access** in Server Settings > Integrations > MessageMod
4. **Right-click** a message and select **Delete Message**

Setup takes under a minute.

---

## Privacy

- Only stores guild configuration (audit log channel, protected users, age limit)
- No message content is permanently stored by the bot — deleted messages are only posted to your audit channel
- `/privacy` for full details
