How do you save chat logs in Discord channels? There should

The server saves it for you
Forever

why?
If chat history is important, discord isnt the place to chat, dumbass.

>>60011185
not an argument

>>60011202
What is an argument, and why is that not one?

You must be 18 to post on 4chan

>>60011151
>he doesn't run a secondary client to log everything

>>60011750
How?

>>60011991
does your mum still feed you with an airplane spoon?

>>60011151
Now, why would you want to do that.

Make a bot to scrape the channel dumbass

There is a discord API, you could write a quick script to do it for you, a quick search on github brought up bots that could possibly do it for you as well.

>>60011185
Hey dumb ass who gets to decide where their own chat history is important? If OP wants to save his history then he can.

>>60012065
OP is asking how to save chat logs, the reason is not relevant.

> this board has gone to shit because of fucks like you lmao

>>60012214
But it is relevant because oftentimes idiots like OP ask how to do a specific task to complete a larger task, but they way that they're approaching the larger task is fundamentally flawed. Asking about the overall reason is the quickest way to actually help someone.

Also, the board has gone to shit because of idiots like you not even understanding what greentexting is.

>>60012214
>>60012174
But I don't want to use a bot because it'll be super obvious and it's not my channel.

>>60012214
No. I want to know why.
I don't want him using it if he's going to harm someone

>>60012243
Harm who? It's a public channel for a guild

See, was that so hard?
>>60012297
Is Discord even a gaming thing? It seems like just a simplified Slack.

>>60012298
I hate Python, is there no other way? Also is this for user accounts or bots? I thought you need a special API permission for this?

>>60012313
It acts as a user bot. It's transparent and invisible. You do need to supply your own access token, though, and it needs to be manually refreshed using the dev console.

>>60012318
Would it be able to log everything? It's a server that's been up for almost 1 year with an active community.

>>60012351
It doesn't log retroactively. Code your own shit for that.

Like I said Discord has an API where you can request to pull messages from the server/channel, read into that documentation, making a bot is not needed.

>>60012313
It can be any language, they are just API requests that return data in JSON format. You do not need "special permission" as long as your in the server and your account has permission to read the text in the first place.

>>60012243
Even if he were to harm someone not discussing it wouldn't stop it. Discussing it would spread light on an issue. Owners of the discord channel gets to set roles on who gets to access what.

>>60012297
Please tell me whats the /g/ approved communication client that can support has an API supports voice/text/embedded links and many customizable features that discord brings to the table.

Stop following the herd with the other dip shits on this board who just shill tech instead of actually discussing it.

>>60012313
>I hate Python, is there no other way?
For fucks sake, do you want a god damn windows program with a GUI or something?

Slack. It's literally just an objectively superior Discord that came first.

>>60012431
OP seems p lazy desu

>>60012437
Thanks anon had no idea Slack actually supported voice.

Apparently you can get addons to share screens which is actually pretty neat

Short hand for "I'm too fucking retarded to even use Python" which is pretty damn impressive to pull off considering how piss easy it is. I found a basic dump script that I had and the main part is barely even 10 lines.

Stop being a faggot OP and start trying for once.
