LITERALLY 1984 is a Discord bot created by the DT Code Club to keep watch for profanity in its Discord guild.
Upon detecting a message that contains words matched by the configurable blacklist, it will send a warning to the message author and report the message to the club admins.
LITERALLY 1984 is extremely simple, written under fifty lines of Node.js source code, with no dependencies other than discord.js.
This bot is meant for DT Code Club's Discord guild, but feel free to host your own instance!
Clone the source code and cd into the directory:
git clone https://github.com/dt-code-club/literally-1984.git
cd literally-1984
Install the dependencies:
npm install
You probably want to update the information
in package.json and etc/config.json.
To find the channel ID of your reports channel,
enable Discord's Developer Mode in App Settings > Advanced
and click "Copy ID" in the pop-up menu
that appears when you right-click on your desired channel.
To update the list the bot uses to detect profanity,
edit etc/blacklist.txt.
Each line is a regular expression that will match at least one word.
Go to Discord Developer Portal
and create a new application.
Click "Bot" on the side panel and click "Add Bot".
Copy the token located under the "Build-A-Bot" section,
and write that into a new file, etc/token.
echo YOUR_TOKEN > etc/token
Your bot is now ready! To start running, enter into your shell:
node .
To add your bot to your Discord guild,
authorize it at https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=APPLICATION_ID&permissions=2048&scope=bot,
with APPLICATION_ID replaced by your bot's application ID.
You can find that in the "General Information" section
of your application on Discord Developer Portal.
