CommunityOne Discord Bot Changelog

Improvements:

- Reddit quests are simpler to follow 🧭
  - Feed posts now have a single "Start Quest" button.
  - Each verify step has its button right beside it: "Comment on Reddit", then "Check my comment".
  - Once your comment is found, your rewards are claimed and shown right away. No extra "Claim Rewards" step.
- Reddit account linking UX has been improved.
- Pressing "Start Quest" on a tweet again while your check is still running now gets an instant reply instead of a second check.
- "Suggest a Quest" now gives regulars a break: you'll get it at most 5 times, and not again after you've completed it twice (counted across all servers). /suggest_quest still works for everyone.
- General improvements to reliability and performance to further reduce downtime or failed bot responses.

Fixes:

- Fixed an issue where buttons could stay stuck on a loading or disabled state if something went wrong. You'll now see a clear message instead.
- Fixed an exploit where pressing "Start Quest" on a tweet several times could award the all-actions bonus more than once.
- Improvements to AI reliability, including more dependable AI-powered (smart listening) replies.
- A couple previously retired commands no longer show up in /help or the config summary.

New:

- December raffle: STAR WARS Galactic Racer is up for grabs! (starting Nov1) 🏁

Improvements:

- Reddit quests have improved UI/UX! 🧭
  - Reddit feed posts clearer buttons and instructions.
  - New to Reddit quests? Linking your account is now even clearer.
  - Once linked, you're taken right back to the post you came from.
- Each Reddit comment now earns you more points.
- Tweet quests got the same treatment: a "Start Quest" button on tweet feed posts, and a preview of your rewards and the shop before you connect your X account.
- Claiming rewards is smoother: the "Claim Rewards" button clears itself once your points are shown, and buttons show a thinking indicator while they work.

Fixes:

- Reliability has been further improved—instances where the bot doesn't respond (already rare) should now happen even less often.
- Fixed an issue where claiming a large backlog of quest rewards couldn't show your rewards.

Improvements:

- 2-3x Faster responses from our AI features, including spark, auto-moderation and AI quest checks. ⚡
- Potentially NSFW ambiguous messages are more reliably sent to your staff for review instead of being actioned automatically.
- Auto-moderation is sharper at telling NSFW chat apart from NSFW links, so the right rule (and the action your server set for it) is applied.

Fixes:

- Server on the Free/Free+ tier will see much less "Chatbot overloaded" messages as we improved our inference provider selection logic.

New Features:

- Reddit Quests! 🎉 Members can now earn points for joining the conversation on your community's subreddit. Set it up in the Hype Engine's new Social Quests tab!
- Members can now see their linked Reddit account on their profile page, and unlink it with one click.

Improvements:

- The Hype Engine settings got a fresh, tidier layout!
- The "Socials" tab is now called "Social Quests".
- Retired options (the weekly Steam raffle and the Top.gg vote quest) no longer appear in settings. The monthly Steam raffle is still available.

New Features:

- Server Upvote Quest: Members can now earn rewards by upvoting the server on the website! The quest is available every 12 hours, with a direct button to vote included right in /quests.
- Moderation Review Alerts: Ambiguous or borderline messages now alert server moderators for manual review instead of taking automatic action. Moderators can quickly dismiss the alert or enforce the sanction directly from the prompt.

Improvements:

- Improved AI moderation accuracy.
- Upgraded Quest Leaderboards:
  - Leaderboards now feature member avatars alongside their display names.
  - Names and emoji now render in full vibrant color.
  - Added support for international scripts (including Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic, and Thai) so non-Latin names display cleanly without missing characters.
- Monthly Raffle Announcements: Your quest card now highlights the monthly game raffle prize the first time you run /quests each month, with a direct link to enter via the shop.
- Scheduled Phantom Blade Zero as the November game raffle prize!

Fixes:

- Fixed an issue where long member names could overlap the score column on quest leaderboards.
- Fixed an issue where the optional details field in the moderation undo modal was required.
- Fixed an issue where the upvote quest title could wrap awkwardly into the description link in quest details.
