Deleting OOC Messages

The /config delete_ooc command allows you to configure the automatic deletion of out-of-character (OOC) messages in specific channels.

info

This feature is especially useful for maintaining immersion in roleplay channels by automatically deleting OOC messages after a defined delay.

Basic Configuration​

Usage

/config delete_ooc (prefix) (suffix) (regex) (timer) (#channel) (?thread_mode)

  • prefix: Prefix of OOC messages to delete
  • suffix: Suffix of OOC messages to delete
  • regex: Regular expression to detect OOC messages
  • timer: Duration in seconds after which OOC messages will be deleted
  • channel: Channel where OOC messages will be transferred before deletion
  • thread_mode: If true, messages will be transferred to a thread

Detection Parameters​

You can use three methods to identify OOC messages:

  1. Prefix and suffix: Messages framed by specific characters
  2. Regular expression: For more complex patterns (advanced users)
Attention

Regular expressions can be complex and may lead to unintended deletions. Prefer the prefix and suffix fields if you're not familiar with regex.

Transfer Options​

  • No channel specified: Messages will be deleted directly
  • With a channel (#channel): Messages will be transferred to the specified channel before deletion
  • Thread mode (thread_mode: true): Messages will be moved to a thread (similar to result threads)

Usage Examples​

Example

Deletion using prefix/suffix:


/config delete\_ooc prefix:- suffix:- timer:180 channel:#ooc

Deletes OOC messages wrapped in - (e.g., -ooc message-) and transfers them to #ooc after 3 minutes.

Deletion using regex:


/config delete\_ooc regex:$ooc::(.*)$ timer:60

Deletes messages like (ooc:: message) after one minute.

Direct deletion:


/config delete\_ooc prefix:((( suffix:))) timer:120

Deletes messages wrapped in ((( and ))) after 2 minutes without transferring them.

Channel Selection​

When using the command, a selection interface will appear to choose the channels, categories, forums, or threads where OOC deletion will be active.

Limits
  • Minimum: 1 channel must be selected to activate the feature
  • Maximum: Up to 25 channels/threads/categories can be selected

Disabling​

To disable OOC message deletion:

Usage

/config delete_ooc (without parameters)
/config delete_ooc timer:0

Both methods fully disable the feature.
