Message Referencing Module

The message referencing module (id: message-referencing, configuration class: MessageReferencing) will automatically convert Discord message links and dot-replies sent in chat to embeds.
This way, a conversation that references to an older message can be linear, without needing to jump to other channels.

Reference embed

The timestamp of the embed is the date at which the referenced message was sent.
The footer displays the member that referenced the message, unless the author of the referenced message and the referencer are the same.

Triggering

A message reference may be triggered in multiple ways:

• replying with just . or ^ to a message; the reply will be deleted unless it is a ping reply
• sending a message that starts with a Discord message link; your message will be deleted if it is just a message link

Leaking private channels

By design, Camelot does not check the permissions of the member referencing a message, or the channel the reference is invoked in. This means that a message from a private channel may be accidentally or intentionally leaked if a link to it is sent in a public channel. To avoid it when not desired, you may surround the link the same way you suppress embeds (<https://discord.com/....>).

Bot Permissions

The following bot permissions are required by this module: Send Messages, Read Message History, Manage Messages.
