Ping Protection V1.1

[Kevinking500]

This is a small update to the current Ping Protection module.
This update includes the following changes:

• [QOL] Updated some locales and improved some of their names
• [Bug] Fixed the automod default block message from being over the 150 characters limit
• [Bug] Fixed that the whitelisted users didn't show

I apologize for not catching these bugs in the initial release

I noticed a few things I’d like to share regarding the module:

• Redundant Settings: In the "Moderation Actions" config, there’s a setting for "Pings to trigger moderation," but there’s also a custom function for it. It feels a bit messy to have both. I’d suggest just keeping the custom function ("custom timeframe") to make it cleaner.
• Log Retention: Why is the mod-log capped at 12 months? The moderation module doesn't have this limit, and I’m wondering if this can be changed to stay consistent with the rest of the tools.

Hi Fridolin,
That is indeed a bit messy, I will change that.
For the log retention though, as this is a module for "only" pings and not otherwise a broad (multiple) rule breaking that can include a big variety of punishments like warnings, mutes, kicks, bans and things that it feels like having it more than 1 year for "only" pinging is a lot, but I can extend it if you feel like it would need to be more, or even do no limit.

Hi,

thank you for your quick response. I think we should ask @SCDerox for the second question^^

[SCDerox]

Thanks for your valuable feedback, Fridolin. I, personally, have no issues with the limit. But based on your feedback, there's no technical reason that requires a limit. So making it adjustable and allowing users to disable it might be a compromise that both sides could agree on.

I think I might just increase the limit to 2 years (48 months) and if we get any feedback from users for it to be longer then ig I can make it unlimited. But I agree with both 😅

[Kevinking500]

Alrighty, I have now set the pings history limit to 2 years (I actually relaized it was only 6 months max, that was indeed short). Additionally, I removed the pings count thing for the custom timeframe as that's basically useless, it now uses the standard one, which is now also renamed to pingsCount without the Basic.

Sorry, I forgot you were talking about moderation log

Hi, I quickly added the category feature in the configuration.json and storage.json config files to make it look more sleek ^^

Thanks to Simon who provided me the list of emoji's that actually work in the dashboard, I adjusted it to use supported ones ^^
