Purges in private channels get logged to mod-log

I'm not sure how you would like to handle this, but there should be some way to use message purging without it leaking from private channels to public.

This might be best with a channel configuration.

Something like >>clean ignore or >>modlog ignore methinks 🤔

I would appreciate this feature too, seems like a must tbh

It could be done like I do it on Endless (which isnt the best way to but...). With a tag in the channel topic.

If anything, I would probably do it identical to the current system for not logging messages in a channel; set a channel-level user override for Read Message History for vortex.

But that would disable purging all together, would it not? I just want to avoid it getting logged publically

[jagrosh]

If Vortex has the Admin permission, it wouldn't disable it (for not logging message edits/deletes for a channel, Vortex looks specifically for the override - not for if it actually has permission). That being said, you're right, it would break usage of the command if Vortex does not have Admin.

[khionu]

So, do you see that issue as something worth fixing?

I've been thinking about this some more, and I think a solution that would solve this (as well as another related request) would be to add both of the following:

• Channels where an explicit permission denial for Vortex (user-level permission override) on Read Message History would cause the modlog entry for >>clean to contain the same moderator info (who cleaned, what the parameters were) but without any link to the cleaned messages. This goes hand-in-hand with the existing system where the same permission denial will cause Vortex to not log deleted/edited messages in these channels to the messagelog.
• An additional modlog setting that allows disabling the view/download links for cleaning entirely. >>clean commands would still be logged (moderator, cleaning parameters), just the messages would not be available.
