Snipe
Let members recall a recently deleted or edited message with /snipe.
How it works
Snipe is a toggle-only feature: turn it on from its card in the dashboard's feature list and it starts caching recently deleted and edited messages per channel, in memory only. /snipe recalls the most recent deletion, and /snipe edit recalls the most recent edit.
Before you start
- Decide whether recalling deleted or edited content fits your server's privacy expectations.
- Tell members that anyone who can view a channel and run /snipe can recall recent deletions and edits there.
Configure it
- Find the Snipe card in the dashboard's feature list and switch it on; Snipe has no separate configuration page.
- As a test, send and delete a harmless message in a channel, then run /snipe there.
- Edit another test message and run /snipe edit to confirm edit recall.
Visibility and privacy
- /snipe and /snipe edit are visible to anyone who can view the target channel and run the command — there is no separate permission gate beyond View Channel.
- Enable Snipe only in channels or servers where recalling recently removed or edited content is acceptable to your community.
Expected result
- /snipe shows the deleted message's content, author, and deletion time.
- /snipe edit shows the before and after content of the most recent edit in that channel.
Common errors
"Nothing to snipe" is returned
Confirm Snipe is enabled, that a message was actually deleted or edited recently in that channel, and that the retention window has not expired. Free servers keep only the single most recent deletion for up to 5 minutes.
Saved changes do not take effect
Reload the feature page and confirm the saved values. Then verify that the selected Discord channel or role still exists and that Airwavy can access it.
Discord reports missing permissions
Check the permission on both the server role and the target channel. Channel overwrites and role hierarchy can deny an action even when the server-level permission is present.
