Anti-Ping

Protect staff members and roles from unnecessary Discord pings.

The Anti-Ping module detects when protected users or roles are mentioned and automatically sends a reminder not to ping them. It's commonly used to protect high-ranking staff, server owners, or management from constant @mentions.

Configuration

  1. Run /config
  2. Navigate to Anti-Ping
  3. Configure the following options:
SettingDescription
Protected UsersSpecific Discord users who are protected from pings
Protected RolesDiscord roles whose members are protected from pings
Response MessageThe message ERM sends when someone pings a protected user
Exempt RolesRoles that are allowed to ping protected users without triggering the response

How It Works

When a member pings a protected user or role:

  1. ERM detects the mention
  2. A response message is sent in the same channel reminding the member not to ping that person
  3. The original message can optionally be deleted

Members with an exempt role bypass the anti-ping check entirely and can mention protected users freely.

Bot pings

Anti-Ping only applies to human members. Bot mentions are not affected.
