v2.4.5

Changes

We now show reasons why an account is banned. This is primarily used for impersonations and account take overs, to make it more clear to users of the bot.

Improvements

• Better handle Discord 50x error codes when performing actions.
• Improved handling of hung/frozen bot instances
• Usage of /scamunban no longer sends silently, so everyone in the evidence thread can see it
• Show the original evidence thread when the /scamunban command executes
• Allow for optional ban reasons when running /scamban. This will only show in the embed, not in the audit log.
• Duplicate activation requests are silently removed when the server is already activated
• Add a field for obtaining the requestor ID of a server activation that's easily copyable on mobile
• Ban reasons now show up in the audit log as well

Fixes

• Fix non-image evidence links getting removed when reported via the bot commands
• Fix actions not retrying due to pushing to an invalid queue
• Fix unban command usage not being posted properly in a thread
• Fix /scamguard report timing out if the user is already banned
• Fix /scamguard config potentially breaking if used in a server that has no other channels

Maintenance

• Updated dependencies
• All actions are now pinned to prevent exposure from compromised repos
• Set dependabot configs to run at a cooldown update cadence

v2.4.0

• Improves the ban "burnout" handling code
• Wraps user text into code blocks so Discord doesn't try to format text in embeds
• Can now use /scamguard tool to get a link User Tool
• Improved first time install messages
  • Attempt to use private threads over global messages
  • Improved permission checks and resiliency
  • Rank sort channels best on which would be more likely to succeed on post
• Handling user tool ScamGuard bot invites
• Better reporting thread caching
• Automatically truncate messages before the 2000 character mark
• Allow for marking actions as "safe" to run in parallel with other tasks that run in intervals (like backups)
• Add support for banning a server from using ScamGuard
• Improve config selector objects
