Confessions

Overview

Members write a confession and Petto posts it without their name. You choose how it looks (title, color, a saved design), who it looks like it comes from (a name and picture through a webhook), and whether the staff checks each one first. Anyone can reply anonymously in a thread under a confession.

The confession goes out as a card in the color you picked (green by default) with its ID under it. It shows the name Anonymous and a picture: the one you chose, else the picture Petto has in your server, else the usual one of Petto.
The panel with the Confess button always stays at the bottom: after each confession it is sent again under it.
A button under it opens a form to reply. The replies go in a thread and are anonymous too.
If the staff checks first, the confession waits in a review channel with Approve and Reject buttons.
Petto keeps who confessed only for the staff, so they can see who it was or block them. You can turn that off: then nothing is kept.

Anonymous confession number 48 with its ID and the Reply anonymously button, followed by Petto's panel with the Confess button — In Discord: a confession as the channel shows it, with the panel sent again under it.

1. The Confess button opens the form

The form Your confession with the text of the confession and an optional link to a picture — In Discord: the form of the Confess button.

2. The answer only the member sees

Petto answers only to the member: the confession was sent to the staff and shows up when they approve it — In Discord: with the staff checking first, the member is told it went to the staff.

3. The review queue

In #confession-review, Confessions review posts confession 52, waiting for the staff, with its ID and the Approve and Reject buttons — In Discord: the confession waits in the review channel with Approve and Reject.

4. Approved

The review card of confession 52 now says Approved by kira, without buttons — In Discord: the card after Approve; the confession goes out in the channel.

5. Rejected

The review card of confession 51, in red, says Rejected by kira — In Discord: the card after Reject; nothing is posted.

6. Reply anonymously

The form Your anonymous reply with the text of the reply — In Discord: the form of the Reply anonymously button.

7. The reply in the thread

The thread Confession #48: the confession of Anonymous and, under it, an Anonymous reply — In Discord: the anonymous reply in the thread of the confession.

Members confess with confess (a picture can be attached) or with the Confess button of the panel, which opens a form. The answer is only for them, so nobody sees who used it: from the button it is a message only they can see, and with !confess Petto deletes their message and sends the answer in a DM.

Who can do what

Action	Who
Confess and reply	Everyone (unless blocked)
`approve`, `reject`, `list`	The staff role, or who has Manage Server
`setup`, `set`, `config`, `panel`, `enable`, `disable`, `reveal`, `delete`, `block`, `unblock`	Who has Manage Server

Settings

Change them with !confession set <setting> <value> or in the dashboard (Confessions).

The switches: the staff checks each confession first, send it with its own name and picture, anonymous replies, confessions can have a picture, the confess command works, and keep who confessed, all on — Dashboard → Community → Confessions: the switches of the module.

Setting	What it does
`review`	The staff checks each confession before it shows
`review_channel`	The channel where the staff approves or rejects
`log_channel`	A channel where what the staff does (approve, reject, look at who made one, block, delete) is written
`staff_role`	A role that can approve and reject
`command`	The `confess` command works (off leaves only the panel)
`images`	A confession can have a picture
`replies`	Anonymous replies in a thread
`keep_author`	Keep who confessed, only for the staff
`webhook`	Send through a webhook with its own name and picture
`webhook_name`, `webhook_avatar`	The name and the picture (a link) it shows
`title`, `footer`	The title and the small text under each confession
`color`	The color of the card, as a hex like `a5ea7a`
`button`, `reply_button`, `panel_text`	The texts of the buttons and of the panel
`cooldown`	Seconds to wait between confessions (60 by default, 0 for none)
`design`	A design saved in Embeds to use instead of the usual card

In #mod-log, Confessions log writes that kira approved confession q9cbe-u4m1z and that liam looked at who made confession k7m2x-p9qra — In Discord: what the log channel gets when the staff approves a confession or looks at who made one.

Your own design

Pick a design of the Embeds page and the confession uses it. Inside it you can write:

Variable	Gives
`{confession.id}`	The ID, like `si2tr-foytm`
`{confession.number}`	The number in this server
`{confession.content}`	The text
`{confession.image}`	The picture, empty if none
`{confession.link}`	The link to the message
`{confession.channel}`	The channel
`{confession.created}`, `{confession.created_time}`	When it was made

The server variables like {server_name} work too. Examples for each one are in Variables.

Petto needs Manage Webhooks in the channel to send with its own name and picture. Without it, the confession goes as the bot and still works.
