Feature Request-

As this is a discord bot for Postman Student Community, it would be great if the bot could check all people's messages for inclusive language.

Phrases like hey guys or words like bro, ma'am are gendered and these can be replaced with hey folks and people or folk

Example:

Someone messages hey guys! i have some ..... Here the bot can reply with the message 👇

@user
You used the word "guys"
This might not be inclusive or welcoming language. 
Please update / edit your message with the following suggestions instead:
"guys" may be insensitive, use "person", "friend", "pal", "folk", "individual" instead
See above ^^

Solution

We can implement this using alexjs. There's an implementation(src) of this in EddieHubCommunity discord bot already, from which we can take reference.

I have seen that if multiple links are sent continues the bot will warn the user but will not delete the messages. I thought this issue is because of load balancing.

To make sure everything is up to date. Migrate to the latest version of Discord.js

Not all spam link message include "nitro" keyword.

Most spam links are made to look similar to discord.gg or other valid links to trick users into clicking.

Let's calculate likelihood of spam based on levenshtein distance to the base URL "discord"

(I am working on a PR now)

const { distance } = require("fastest-levenshtein");

console.log("discord", distance("discord", "discord"));
console.log("discorde", distance("discord", "discorde"));
console.log("discrod", distance("discord", "discrod"));
console.log("disscorde", distance("discord", "disscorde"));
console.log("github", distance("discord", "github"));
console.log("stackoverflow", distance("discord", "stackoverflow"));

// For example: ban any link where baseUrl is less than 4 distance from "discord", but greater than 0

// --BAD -- : distance > 0 && distance < 4
// discorde 1
// discrod 2
// disscorde 2

// -- OK : distance === 0 || distance > 4
// discord 0
// github 6
// stackoverflow 10

Great initiative Cetin - your bot has already blocked some spam!

My suggestions (I will make a PR later after your feedback).

On spam detection:

1. Send a "Spam was deleted" message to only one designated channel, such as #bot-spam" (Currently the bot "spams" all the channels in the case of a multi-channel attack)
2. Send a DM to the offending user, letting them know their message was deleted, and inform them their account was likely hacked. (Users are often unaware they have been hacked until someone tells them)

This bot has a feature where after a certain command bot gives the user a random project idea. It also specifies what skills are needed. If you have cool project ideas feel free to submit them at the json file. Please try to add at least 5 project ideas.

Add prettier config to standardize styles across contributors

The project needs a documentation like every project
