Logging

Set up a private logging channel to record all Chat Rewards activity. Logs are your primary tool for investigating credit disputes, monitoring for abuse, and auditing configuration changes.

Setup

/logging [log_channel] [alert_role]

• log_channel — channel where all logs are sent (bot needs View Channel and Send Messages)
• alert_role (optional) — a role pinged only for important events (not routine logs)
• Run with both parameters empty to disable logging

Example:

/logging #bot-logs @mods

What Gets Logged

Credit events: credits given/removed by admins, transfers between members, shop purchases

Spawn events: use of /spawn commands

Admin actions: shop item changes, rate changes, active channel changes, blacklist changes, configuration updates, and all other setting changes

Alert Role

The bot pings the alert role only for high-priority events — major configuration changes (like /credits purge) or critical errors. It does not ping for routine logs like shop purchases or minor config tweaks.

Set this to a small staff role (like @Mods) so alerts reach the right people without spamming.

Disabling Logging

/logging

Run with no arguments to disable and remove the logging configuration.

Channel Setup Tips

Keep the logging channel private — readable only by admins and mods, writable only by the bot:

• Admins/Mods: View + Read History
• Bot: View + Send Messages
• Everyone else: No access

Common naming: #chat-rewards-logs, #cr-logs, #bot-logs

Troubleshooting

Logs aren't appearing:

1. Bot has Send Messages permission in the log channel
2. The log channel still exists (deleting it is the most common cause)
3. Logging is still enabled — run /logging to check
