Idea: emergency or report command

[magikid]

I found this in the homelab discord and thought it was a neat idea. Thought I’d share it here and see what y’all think.

"How do I let the mods know that someone is doing some really dumb shit and it's probably quite an emergency?", I hear you ask.
^emergency or ^emergency <optional message>
Note: ^em is an alias of ^emergency, so you can use that as a shortened version.
Running this command will ping all active members of the moderation team in a hidden channel.
It is to be used only when there's something happening that needs immediate mod attention.
You may include an optional message as to what is going on in this command, as shown above.

But now I hear asking "How do I let the mods know that someone's being a bit of a prick and they should take a look when possible?"
^report <message>
Running this command will send a message to the mod channel, but it won't ping us. We'll usually see it when we're active, but perhaps not immediately. Use this when it's not an emergency and doesn't require immediate attention, but you reckon we should definitely take a look when we can.

You must include a message as to what is going on in this command, it's not optional like ^em's optional message function.

• Any messages that trigger this command will also be automatically deleted to help keep your reports confidential.
• You will receive a confirmation of your report in DMs.
• The channel in which you run the command is the channel to which we will be summoned, so if you want to be super secret and summon us from #random-channel, please note the channel where we're needed (e.g. ^em help, some twat is posting their dickpics in #offtopic).
• This is not a command to abuse. You will literally only draw attention to yourself being an idiot.

Cool idea! We could call it /redalert. 😉
