# Modmail for Discord
|
|
A bot for [Discord](https://discordapp.com/) that allows users to DM the bot to contact the server's entire mod team.
|
|
These DMs get relayed to a modmail server where each user gets their own channel, or "thread".
|
|
Moderators and admins can then reply to these threads, and these responses are relayed back to the original user as a DM.
|
|
|
|
Inspired by Reddit's modmail system.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
1. Install Node.js 8 or higher
|
|
2. Clone or download this repository
|
|
3. Create a Discord server to be used as the modmail inbox
|
|
4. Make a copy of the file `config.example.json` in the same folder and name the copy `config.json`. Open the file and fill in the values.
|
|
5. Install dependencies: `npm install`
|
|
6. Add bot to servers, and make sure to give it proper permissions on the mail server.
|
|
7. Run the bot: `npm start`
|
|
|
|
## Commands
|
|
|
|
##### Anywhere on the modmail inbox server
|
|
`!logs <user>` Lists previous modmail logs with the specified user
|
|
`!block <user>` Blocks the specified user from using modmail
|
|
`!unblock <user>` Unblocks the specified user from using modmail
|
|
|
|
##### Inside a modmail thread
|
|
`!reply <text>` Sends a reply to the user in the format "(Role) User: text" (alias `!r`)
|
|
`!anonreply <text>` Sends an anonymous reply to the user in the format "Role: text" (alias `!ar`)
|
|
`!close` Closes the modmail thread and saves a log of it
|
|
`!logs` Lists previous modmail logs with this user
|
|
`!block` Blocks the user from using modmail
|
|
`!unblock` Unblocks the user from using modmail
|
|
|
|
To automatically reply without using !reply or !r, enable `alwaysReply` in the config. `alwaysReplyAnon` sets whether to reply anonymously. If you do not wish to reply, it will ignore any message starting in the prefix (which defaults to !), such as !note
|
|
|
