Purger

Make sure that your purger module is enabled before configuring the purger module (!module purger to enable, and !module list to see if it's enabled).

 

Purging Messages & Channels

There is no configuration for the purger module. It only has one command, purge, which offers a huge selection of options to customize Gaius' message cleaning. The maximum number of messages that can be deleted at one time is 500. The oldest messages Gaius will search for it 2 weeks to save resources due to Discord API limitations.

 

Purge

Required Permissions (Staff)

 

Basic Examples

There isn't a need to understand the entire functional possibilities in order to use the purge command. Sometimes, only deleting a number of messages or a number of messages from a person or role is good enough. Deleting messages that contain a certain word is just as easy.

Command

Descriptive Example

!purge amount

!purge 10

 

- Purges 10 messages from the channel

!purge amount @mention

!purge 10 @yeetmaster#3000

 

- Purges 10 messages from a specific user in the channel

!purge amount @rolemention

!purge 10 @Troll Role

 

- Purges 10 messages from a specific role in the channel

!purge amount text

!purge 10 REEE

 

- Purges 10 messages with that text/letter in the channel

 

Advanced Examples

The listed modifiers below give your purging process some extra oomph to its accuracy and precision. These modifiers are attached at the end of the command message. As a helpful tip, you can still use the examples above while adding the modifiers below at the end.

Modifier
