🗃️ Bleed Pin Archival

Bleed’s Pin Archival system helps preserve important pinned messages by copying or recording them into a designated archive channel before pins are removed or reorganized.

This is especially useful in The Archives of Holme, where important messages may deserve preservation even after they are no longer actively pinned.

Configuration requires Manage Guild and should remain Owner-only.

📌 Pin Archival System

,pins

Opens Bleed’s pin-archival system.

,pins config

Displays the current pin-archival configuration.

Use this before making changes so you can verify how the system is currently configured.

,pins set [option]

Enables or disables the pin-archival system.

🗃️ Set the Archive Channel

,pins channel [channel]

Sets the channel where archived pins should be preserved.

Choose a private or public archival channel depending on the kind of messages being preserved.

📜 Do not send private staff or moderation pins into a public archive.

📥 Archive Current Pins

,pins archive

Archives the pinned messages from the current channel.

Use this before deliberately clearing or reorganizing a channel’s pins.

This can help preserve:

• important announcements
• historical community moments
• useful reference messages
• event records
• notable discussions
• long-term server information

📌 Automatic Unpinning

,pins unpin [option]

Controls whether messages are automatically unpinned during the archival process.

Enable this only if you actually want archived messages removed from the channel’s active pin list.

If preservation is your only goal, review this setting before archiving.

⚠️ Reset Configuration

,pins reset

Resets Bleed’s pin-archival configuration.

Permission Required: Manage Guild

⚠️ This should also be treated as a Destructive command because it removes the existing archival setup.

⚖️ Laws of Archival

I. Preserve Before Removing

If a pinned message may still have historical, administrative, or community value, archive it before unpinning.

II. Respect Privacy

Private staff, ticket, or moderation material should never be archived into public spaces.

III. Archive With Purpose

Do not preserve every trivial pin simply because the system allows it.

IV. Keep the Archive Organized

Use a clearly designated archival channel so preserved messages remain useful rather than becoming another cluttered feed.

V. Review Before Resetting

Confirm the current configuration before using ,pins reset.
