[UPDATE COMMAND] COUNTING

[deividgabrielpeira]

Key Improvements Needed:

1. Server Validation System

• Add fake server detection by analyzing:
• Suspicious counting patterns (e.g., bot-like behavior)
• Abnormal participation spikes

2. Maintenance Mode

• Allow admins to:
• Pause counting without resetting progress
• Set temporary banners (e.g., "Counting paused until 20:00 UTC")

3. Performance Enhancements

• Implement:
• Input autocomplete for frequent counters
• 60-second cache for leaderboard data
• Rate limiting (max 5 count edits per user/hour)

4. Customizable Display
   New embed styles:

# Example configuration options
STYLES = {
    'minimal': "{current_count}",
    'standard': "Count #{current_count} | Next: {next_number}",
    'leaderboard': "Top 3: {top_users} | Last counter: {last_user}"
}

Critical Bugs:

• Security Issues
• No permission checks for count resets
• Buttons remain active indefinitely (potential exploit)

Data Validation

• Accepts out-of-sequence numbers
• No duplicate detection for simultaneous submissions

System Failures

• Database queries may hang without timeout
• No fallback for embed-restricted channels

Advanced Suggestions:

• Gamification Features
• Milestone rewards (custom roles at 100/500/1000 counts)
• Live countdown challenges with other servers

Data Tools

• CSV export of full counting history
• Real-time web dashboard with:
• Participation heatmaps
• Accuracy statistics per user

Moderation Suite

• Automated strikes for frequent mistakes
• Temporary counting bans (1-24h)
• Suspicious activity alerts

Multi-Server Features

• Cross-server counting competitions
• Shared milestone celebrations
• Server cluster leaderboards

Implementation Roadmap:

• Priority Fixes (1-3 days)
• Permission validation
• Button timeout system

Core Features (1-2 weeks)

• Maintenance mode
• Basic gamification
