This bot was created for the DevCord Discord Server.
We needed a way to identify valuable users in our community. Most bots do these by chat activity.
Sadly chat a high activity doesn't mean that a user is valuable for the community.
That is where the reputation bot comes in place.
The reputation bot will scan messages for thank phrases, which you can define.
When a thank phrase is found the bot will try to find the receiver of the message. This is done by several checks.
- Answer: You can answer the message which helped you with a thank word.
- Mention: You can mention the user which helped you with a thankword
- Fuzzy: You can write the name, or a part of the name relative to a thank word, and the bot will try to find the user.
As an alternative you can also give a reputation reaction to the message which helped you.
After a user has given another user a reputation he has to wait a configurable amount of minutes until he can give this user reputation again.
Also if a message is older than a configurable amount no reputation will be given when someone answers it or adds a reaction.
You can use the scan command to scan up to 100k messages in a channel for thank words. This will take some time. You can only scan one channel at a time.
You will need a PostgreSQL database and Java 15 or higher. Copy the log4j config from resources to your wished destination. I suggest a config directory
Start the bot with the following parameter. You may change the path.
-Dlog4j.configurationFile=config/log4j2.xml -Dbot.config=config/config.jsonAfter the first start a config will be created, and the bot will fail to start. Configure the bot and start it again.
There are no other features.
