👁️ Bleed Snipe & Message Review

These commands allow Custodians and authorized staff to review recently deleted or edited messages, inspect removed reactions, and clear Bleed’s stored snipe history.

They are intended for moderation, evidence review, and incident investigation—not casual surveillance.

🗑️ Deleted Messages

,snipe [index]

Shows a recently deleted message.

Use the optional index to look further back through Bleed’s stored deleted-message history.

Example:
,snipe 2

Use this when deleted content may be relevant to harassment, threats, rule violations, or another active moderation concern.

✏️ Edited Messages

,editsnipe [index]

Shows a recently edited message and its previous content.

The optional index allows older stored edits to be reviewed.

This can help determine whether a member significantly changed a message after it became part of a moderation issue.

🎭 Removed Reactions

,reactionsnipe

Shows the most recent reaction removed from a message.

,reactionhistory [message link]

Displays recorded reaction activity for a specific message.

Requires: Manage Messages

Useful when reactions themselves are part of harassment, targeted hostility, dogpiling, or another moderation concern.

🧹 Clear Stored Snipe History

,clearsnipe

Clears Bleed’s stored history for deleted messages, edited messages, and removed reactions.

Requires: Manage Messages

⚠️ This removes potentially useful moderation information. Do not clear stored history while an active case or appeal may still depend on it.

⚖️ Laws of Snipe Review

I. Use Must Have a Moderation Purpose

Custodians may use snipe tools only when there is a reasonable moderation, safety, or incident-review need.

Curiosity is not sufficient.

II. No Casual Surveillance

Do not routinely inspect deleted or edited messages merely to see what members were saying.

A deleted message does not automatically imply wrongdoing.

III. Review Only What Is Necessary

Investigate only enough history to understand the relevant incident.

Do not search further into unrelated member activity once the necessary context has been established.

IV. Preserve Context

A deleted or edited statement should not be judged in isolation when surrounding conversation materially changes its meaning.

Review the relevant context before taking action.

V. Snipe Evidence Is Not Automatically Proof

Stored content may provide useful evidence, but it should be assessed alongside context, other logs, screenshots, witness reports, and member explanations where appropriate.

VI. Do Not Publicly Expose Retrieved Content

Information recovered through moderation tools should remain within appropriate staff or case-record spaces unless disclosure is necessary for a legitimate moderation reason.

VII. Preserve Evidence Before Clearing

Before using ,clearsnipe, confirm that no active case, appeal, report, or investigation still requires the stored information.

VIII. Never Weaponize Private Review

Custodians must not use recovered messages to embarrass, mock, retaliate against, or gain leverage over a member.

🛡️ Custodian Principle

Review what is necessary. Preserve context. Record what matters. Respect what does not.

These tools exist to recover evidence that would otherwise be lost—not to turn deleted thoughts into permanent public records.
