-
information was originally
hard-coded
into flooded area bot 🌊 however was hard to maintain, hence the introduction of this feature
💻 flooded area bot 🌊 is source-available!

The Past
the current version of flooded area bot 🌊 is
v3,
meaning that there has been two previous public iterations of the app
📜 what flooded area bot 🌊 started off as
- flooded area bot 🌊 originally started as "flooded area suggestions 📋"
-
this was due to a certain
@CrazyDoruk22
appearing in my dms one day and practically begging lol
- (i'm joking ilynh doruk)
-
as the name suggests, flooded area suggestions 📋 was a simple thread-based suggestions system where people can submit suggestions for
flooded area
- each suggestion can be upvoted or downvoted, also containing a thread for discussion of the suggestion
-
this system was in place until discord introduced
forum channels
-
at the time of when i started developing flooded area suggestions 📋 (now: flooded area bot 🌊), it was heavily inspired by
berry bot 🫐
-
for this reason, flooded area bot 🌊's
app
on the
discord developer portal
was put under the same
team
as
berry bot 🫐
-
..of which was owned by
gentleberry16 gerek:
a now inactive account
-
regardless,
apps cannot be transferred between teams
so we are completely and utterly fucked chat
🌌 flooded area bot 🌊 and universe laboratories
- flooded area bot 🌊 was formerly called "area communities bot 🌊🌌"
-
after the introduction of
spaced out,
a roblox game developed by
universe laboratories
including
@welololol,
i tried to bridge the two games together under one app
-
unfortunately, i was too slow with my development and was unable to make anything meaningful with features for
@welololol
before the game slowly died down
-
the same ordeal happened with
darkness obby,
yet another game developed by
universe laboratories,
except had one singular feature (automated map submissions) requested by
@welololol
- the creation of the universe bot 🌌
-
following
anarchy chess,
a game developed by
universe laboratories,
its success was comparable to
flooded area
and such, i decided to split off area communities bot 🌊🌌 into "flooded area bot 🌊" and
"the universe bot 🌌"
-
..i am technically under no obligation to develop
the universe bot 🌌
nor am i even sure if the
universe laboratories
server staff want this app, so i am currently re-evaluating its current use~
flooded area moderation 🤖
flooded area moderation 🤖 is an app which allows for
flooded area
moderation to take place from the
flooded area community
it is a feature-rich way for the
flooded area
staff to (mass-)moderate players straight from the discord server without needing to join in-game, through the
roblox open cloud api
🛠️ how flooded area moderation 🤖 works
-
flooded area moderation 🤖 uses the
roblox open cloud api's
user restriction
resource to remotely ban players
-
it also includes using its own ban history
(in addition to the
open cloud's
list user restriction logs)
which mainly exists to support previous bans prior to the addition of user restrictions
-
using the
bloxlink api
(what the server already uses) it's also able to map its functions to the
flooded area community:
like adding roles to banned players in the server or banning a members's bloxlink linked roblox account
🌫️ what flooded area moderation 🤖 was built off of
-
flooded area moderation 🤖 was a fork of
stratiz's
discord-to-roblox code,
added to
flooded area
by
actuallyarla
-
it has since been re-written by me and re-developed to use the
roblox open cloud api
(see above) for improved reliability: with the help of
ActuallyHalowo
💻 flooded area moderation 🤖 is open-source
( MIT)!
