Image-locked channels

Last updated
A channel where only messages that contain an attachment (image, video, GIF etc.) are kept, and any chat is automatically and instantly deleted.
Posted attachments get default reactions automatically added to them by the bot. This is useful if you want to limit the emoji reactions people are able to use to react in order to avoid insults, emoji spamming or trolling.
Image-locking a channel can be useful for:
Memes channels
Photo contests
Screenshot verification channels
GIF sharing channels
Selfies channels
In-game media sharing
It can also increase user-engagement since the bot presents a default selection of popular reactions which makes it easier for your users to engage with the posts.
This can be any text channel open to your users.
In the text channel you want to lock, use the /imagelock on command to instantly activate the image-lock. From now on, PixxieBot will automatically and instantly delete any messages that don't contain attachments, and auto-react to those which do.
PixxieBot won't delete any messages sent by users who have Manage Messages, Manage Server or Administrator permissions in that channel.
To deactivate image-lock and return a channel to its normal state, use /imagelock off in the channel. PixxieBot will immediately stop deleting chat messages that don't contain attachments and stop auto-reacting to posts.
Image-locked channels are stored in our database via channel ID. This means you can rename your channel all you want and the image-lock will continue to work. Deleting an image-locked channel or deactivating image-lock will remove the channel's ID from our database.
PixxieBot Premium servers can create their own custom, private image-lock templates!
In any text channel, use the /imagelock custom create <name> <emojis> command, in the name option, enter the name of the custom template you want to set as. In the emojis field, input the custom emojis you would like the bot to use and which are present in your server and / or default Discord emojis.
In the text channel you want to lock, use the /imagelock on [custom] command, enter the custom template name in [custom]. From now on, PixxieBot will automatically and instantly delete any messages that don't contain attachments, and auto-react to those which do using the emojis from your custom template.
