Software Engineering Project for CSC 510 : Phase IV

Teacher's Pet is a Discord Bot for class instructors to streamline their Discord servers. Discord is a great tool for communication and its functionalities can be enhanced by bots and integrations.

For 4.0, we created new tools for instructors and students to use to improve course communication. After version 3.0's success, we decided we wanted to improve upon some of its features including spam and saved links. We also wanted to add a few more exciting features that would really drive engagement with our bot, for example, the AI chat and student ranking feature. Our main objective for 4.0 was to make using Discord a more controlled and enjoyable experience.

Upgraded Spam Detection

This feature is used to detect spam in message channels. First instructors have the ability to fully customize their spam detection settings.

When a user tries to send too many messages to the channel, it gives a warning. When a warned user continues to spam after this, they will be temporarily put in timeout, effectively ending their spam. This is a good feature to help keep rogue students in check, while also stopping students from spamming for rank.

User ranking on the server

This feature is added so that users can interact more on the server and the server becomes more engaging overall. The rank of the user describes how active they are on the server and the more the user messages on the server, it increases their XP which increases the level of the user. The highest level users have the best rank on the server. The spam detection feature plugged with this feature will ensure that the students are not sending rogue messages or spamming on the server just to level up.

When a user runs command !rank, it shows the user their own rank, XP and level on a card. Similarly, if the user runs the command !rank @username, it will display the rank, XP and level for that particular user if the user exists on the server. Otherwise, it will show that the user doesn't exist.

Interactive Greetings: Elevating the Welcome Message with Important Links
