Links can be dangerous.  They could expose IP addresses for doxxing, redirect to phishing pages, lead to malware downloads, etc... Some channels may not want the possibility for people to click potentially malicious links, especially in cyber security communities.  This simple bot checks a message for elements of a link, and if discovered, will re-write it with a non-clickable text link for manual browsing.  This should ensure non-safety-oriented users aren't infected with a link accidentally, without manual work to re-fang the link and make it malicious again.

Requires permission:
Read Messages/View Channels (to scan content of messages for links)
Manage Messages (for deleting messages w/ links from other users)
Send Messages (to send a cleaned message)
