Logging
See every action the bot takes, and act on it from the log
SfwBot reports every action it takes, with the channel and the reason, in a channel your moderators already read. They can act on an entry with the buttons under it.
The log channel
One entry per action
Removed media, blocked links, invites and spam each produce an entry with the member, the channel and the reason.
Buttons on the entry
For removed media: flag the decision as inaccurate, delete the message if it is still there, or mute, kick or ban the member.
Media link, if you want it
The entry can include the link to the removed media so moderators can review it. Switch this off and the log shows no media.
Service notices
Low and used-up credits and missing permissions are reported in the same channel.
The activity log in the dashboard
The web dashboard shows recent detections with who, where, when, the level and the scores, and an audit log of setting changes: which moderator changed what, and when. Statistics show how much media was scanned and how much was blocked.
Data taken from messages is deleted after 30 days at most. Older log entries keep their counts but lose the link to the message.
Setting it up
Pick the log channel in the /setup wizard, with /settings or on the Logging page of the dashboard. The bot checks that it can post in the channel you choose. See the logging guide.
Questions and answers
Who can see the log channel?
Whoever can see that channel in your server. Use a channel that only your moderators can read.
Does the log show the removed image?
Only as a link, and only if you leave that option on. The dashboard's detection list shows who, where, when and the level.
What if no log channel is set?
The bot still moderates. Removals are recorded in the dashboard, and notices that would have gone to the log channel are not posted.
