Utilities
Info commands, reminders, channel rules, sticky messages, auto-clean, announcements, and the fun commands.
The junk drawer, in the best sense: everything useful that is not moderation policy. Enable with an empty block and everything below is available:
plugins:
utilities: {}
Info and lookup
info (user cards - staff also see infractions and voice activity inline;
for the button-driven moderation panel see minfo on the
Infractions page), avatar, server, channel, seen,
search, emoji info and jumbo, plus random coin / random number.
The info card also shows a member's HepBoat badges - platform-wide
titles like supporter tiers, staff and community badges. Badges follow the
member everywhere HepBoat is, and their icons appear on rank cards too.
Reminders
remind / r add schedules a reminder ("in 2h", "1d"...) that pings you
back in-channel, with a note of how long ago you set it. Reminders are stored
durably, so restarts do not eat them. r clear <number> removes one (numbers
come from r list); clearing everything requires the explicit r clear all,
so a typo can never wipe your reminders.
Todo lists
Enable with todo: {} under plugins.utilities and every member gets a
personal todo list - private to them, in every sense. todo <task> adds to
it (the prefix confirmation never repeats the task back, and the slash
version is entirely invisible to everyone else), and the /todos
slash command opens the list itself: an ephemeral view only you can see,
with a solve button next to each task and page buttons when the list grows.
Completing a task tells you what you finished, how long it sat, and how many
remain - and clearing the last one gets a little celebration.
Your list follows you across every server that has the feature enabled -
it is one list per member, not one per server. max_items (default 50)
caps how many open tasks a member can pile up.
Channel rules
Per-channel content policy, configured under channels (or with the
dashboard's Setup → Channel Rules page):
- restrict a channel to text / images / files only, with an optional caption requirement and roles exempted from all of it;
- require text to match a regex pattern (
whitelist_text_regex) - anything that does not match the pattern is removed, which is how you build a suggestions-only or links-only channel; - sticky messages that follow the bottom of a busy channel;
- auto-clean timers that delete messages after a set age. Bot messages
(including the bot's own replies) are skipped by default; turn on
include_bots(the "Also delete bot messages" toggle on the Channel Rules page) to zap everything. A channel's active sticky message is never auto-cleaned either way.
Violations can warn or mute through the normal infractions machinery, and every restriction delete shows up in your modlog as a Censored message entry naming the rule it broke. Auto-clean sweeps log their own Auto-clean sweep modlog action instead of a plain deletion, so an automatic cleanup never reads like a moderator's purge.
Announcements
The announce block lists the channels !announce <channel> <text> may
post an embed into, plus webhook_color for that embed's color. There is no
scheduling - it is an allowlist for the command.
Fun
The animal pictures (cat, dog, fox, duck, bunny, shibe, bird,
floof), pizza, and a handful of in-jokes the community would riot over
losing. Yes, canadagoose plays the video.
