what about a general scam protection feature in the spirit of Scam Protection Bot?

[zekroTJA]

Hm, this Scam Protection Bot looks really sophisticated and high quality and I don't really feel good to make a lower quality rip-off version of that.

I rather thought about a general link blocking with allow and disallow lists which is tied to the permission system of shinpuru to control it via roles.

maybe there could be something like generally blocking links which contain terms combined with discord in the URL which is not a genuine discord.com link, I'll think about it. ^^

Link detection already exist in a lot of bot, but no one is enough customizable, it could be good to define a general policy / WL , and allow a different policy / WL per channel if need.

for example:

General policy: deny all link
General WL: allow tenor.com (for gif)

in channel "share-your-network" (or whatever):
add/replace WL with:
twitter.com
facebook.com
